CASTOR MARITIME INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars – except for share data unless otherwise stated)

1.
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.

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, 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.

2.
Significant Accounting Policies and 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, 2025, included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, except for the recent accounting pronouncements described below, there were no other significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements issued that the Company expects to have a potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-01, Equity (Topic 505): Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock. The amendments in this update require entities to initially measure paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends on equity-classified preferred stock using the PIK dividend rate stated in the preferred stock agreement, rather than at fair value. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which establishes guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of environmental credits and related environmental credit obligations. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On December 11, 2024, Castor entered into a facility agreement with Toro to receive a $100.0 million senior term loan facility from Toro (the “Term Loan”) which was drawn down on the same date. The Term Loan had a tenor of 5 years, bore interest at the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.80% per annum, was guaranteed by the then ten wholly-owned ship-owning subsidiaries of Castor and was payable in (a) twenty (20) consecutive quarterly installments, each of  $2,500,000, commencing on March 11, 2025, and (b) a balloon installment in the amount of $50.0 million at its maturity together with the last quarterly installment.

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.

The investment in MPC CSI GmbH, which holds 16.68% of the investment in MPCC, was consolidated for the first time as of January 1, 2026, following the termination of a voting agreement between the Company and a third-party investor. As a result, 100% of the subsidiary’s investment in MPCC is reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The impact of the first-time consolidation in the amount of $23,155,175 is, therefore, solely attributable to non-controlling interests.

MPC CSI GmbH (“MPC CSI”) was established for the purpose of acquiring and holding equity interests in MPCC and managing such investment on behalf of its shareholders.

On January 1, 2026, the Company obtained a controlling financial interest in MPC CSI as a result of the termination of a voting agreement between the Company and a third-party shareholder in MPC CSI. Prior to the termination of the voting agreement, the Company held (directly and indirectly) 82.19% of the equity interest in MPC CSI but did not have a controlling financial interest. No additional equity interest was acquired and no consideration was transferred in connection with obtaining control. Accordingly, the Company consolidated MPC CSI as of January 1, 2026. At the date the Company obtained control, MPC CSI’s principal asset was its equity method investment in MPCC, for which the Company applies the fair value option, amounting to $130.0 million. The investment in MPCC continues to be accounted for as an equity method investment measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. However, following the initial consolidation, the Company reflects 100% of the equity method investment in MPCC.

Details of the Company’s other financial liabilities are discussed in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026.



As of June 30, 2026, the Company had two sale and leaseback arrangements with unaffiliated Japanese counterparties relating to the M/V Magic Thunder and M/V Magic Perseus. The Company determined that, under ASC 842-40 Sale and Leaseback Transactions, both vessel transactions are failed sales and, consequently, the assets were not derecognized from the financial statements and the proceeds from the sale of the vessels were accounted for as financial liabilities. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease term was approximately 7.6 years and the weighted average effective interest rate was 5.82%.


Total interest incurred on financial liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 amounted to $0 and $0.8 million, respectively, and is included in Interest and finance costs (Note 23) in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Equity Capital Structure:

Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 2,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of which 1,950,000,000 shares are designated as common shares and 50,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares.

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 15 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the 2025 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, 2026, was $1,620,049 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, 2026, the net value of Mezzanine Equity amounted to $82,334,124, including the amount of $1,620,049 of deemed dividend on the Series D Preferred Shares in the six months ended June 30, 2026, and is separately presented as ‘Mezzanine Equity’ in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid to Toro a dividend amounting to $2,500,000 on the Series D Preferred Shares for the periods from October 15, 2025 to January 14, 2026 and from January 15, 2026 to April 14, 2026, and the accrued amount for the period from April 15, 2026 to June 30, 2026 (included in the dividend period ended July 14, 2026) amounted to $1,069,444.

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 of the financial statements into U.S. dollars as the presentation currency. In addition, the AOCI includes the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that will be reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Equity Capital Structure (continued):

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. The investment in MPC CSI GmbH, formerly classified as an equity-method investment, was consolidated for the first time as of January 1, 2026 following the termination of a voting agreement between the Company and non-controlling interests. As non-controlling interests hold 17.81% in MPC CSI GmbH, the Company recorded a first-time consolidation effect of $23,167,118.

Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company consolidated its subsidiary Parque Solar La Perla, Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable for the first time. The Company’s ownership amounts to 54.90%, while non-controlling interests hold 45.10%. The resulting first-time consolidation impact attributable to non-controlling interests totals $261,482.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company also recorded a net amount of $80,570 in transactions with noncontrolling interests, comprising: (i) a distribution of $1,100,742 paid in cash by MPC CSI GmbH to its noncontrolling interest holder, representing that entity's share of dividends received by MPC CSI GmbH from its investment in MPCC, reflected within "Transactions with non-controlling interest" in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026; and (ii) a capital contribution of $1,020,172 from minority shareholders relating to a project to develop and construct a solar power facility in Central America, which had not yet been received in cash as of June 30, 2026.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures:

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash at banks, restricted cash, accounts receivable trade, net, accrued charter revenue, investments in equity securities, investments in debt securities, equity 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, long-term debt and financial liabilities.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:



Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable trade, net, amounts due from/to related party/(ies), accrued charter revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities: 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 and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities. Amounts due from and to related parties, accounts receivable trade, net, accrued charter revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered Level 2 items of the fair value hierarchy.



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 a Level 1 item of the fair value hierarchy as it is determined through quoted prices in an active market.



Investment in debt securities: The carrying amounts of investments in debt securities presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reported at amortized cost for securities classified as held-to-maturity and at fair value for securities classified as trading. The fair value of the investment in debt securities (Note 13), is determined through Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements, as it is determined through quoted prices in an active market.

Equity investments: The Company, through 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 an 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 a 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. The fair value of the investment as of June 30, 2026, is considered to be equal to its carrying amount. As of June 30, 2025 and 2026, $0 and $69,829 of impairment losses were recognized, respectively, and are included in ‘Gain / (loss) on equity securities’ in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The recorded impairment loss in the amount of $69,829 is attributable to the unwinding of investment structures.

Long-term debt and financial liabilities: The credit facilities discussed in Note 11 include both variable and fixed-rate loans. Variable-rate loans have a recorded value that is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to their interest rates 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. The carrying value of financial liabilities with variable interest rates (obtained through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy) approximates the fair market value as the financial liabilities bear interest at floating interest rates.

Two of the term loans carry a fixed interest rate until 2032 and a variable interest rate based on EURIBOR thereafter. These were subject to fair value measurement as part of the acquisition price allocation and only minor changes in the market interest rates during the reporting period occurred. Their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

Investment in related party: Investment 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. Based on the Company’s assessment, no such case was identified as at June 30, 2026.

Derivative contracts – recurring measurements
The Company enters into forward and options agreements to hedge against foreign currency risks. Furthermore, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to mitigate the interest rate risk arising from variable interest rates on long-term debt. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, derivatives can be analyzed as follows:

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures (continued):

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.

Commitments and Contingencies:

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 condensed consolidated financial statements (except as discussed under Note 17(b)).

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 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, 2026. Non-cancelable time charter contracts include both fixed-rate time charters and 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 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 that period are calculated using the agreed converted fixed rate. The calculation does not include any assumed off-hire days.

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, 2025 and 2026, the effect of the warrants outstanding during each such period and as of each such date, would be antidilutive; hence, the warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding includes the conversion of outstanding Series D Preferred Shares (Note 14) calculated with the “if converted” method by using the average closing market price over the reporting period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025 and from January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026, respectively. In addition, MPC Capital, a subsidiary of the Company, has granted share-based compensation to certain members of key management (Note 25). The dilutive effect of these awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Furthermore, potential common shares issued by MPC Capital are included in the determination of diluted earnings per share through their impact on MPC Capital’s diluted earnings, which are incorporated into the consolidated results based on the Company’s ownership interest in MPC Capital. 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.

The components of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

Revenues

(a)   Vessel Revenues:

The following table includes the vessel revenues earned by the Company by type of contract (time charters and pool agreements) in each of the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2026, as presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income:

Total Vessel revenues
 
$
21,482,267
   
$
26,843,551
 

The Company generates its revenues from time charters and pool arrangements.

The Company typically enters into fixed rate or index-linked rate charters with an option to convert to fixed rate time charters ranging from one month to twelve months and in isolated cases on longer terms depending on market conditions. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports visited, shipping routes and vessel speed, subject to the owner protective restrictions discussed below. Time charter agreements may have extension options ranging from months, to, sometimes, years. The time charter party generally provides, among others, typical warranties regarding the speed and the performance of the vessel as well as owner protective restrictions such that the vessel is sent only to safe ports by the charterer, subject always to compliance with applicable sanction laws and war risks, and carries only lawful and non-hazardous cargo.

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 them 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, 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 2026, and there were no changes in the reporting periods. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes within the provision for income taxes.

Share-based compensation



The options were granted to management and key employees of MPC Capital in 2024 and are subject to market and performance conditions as well as 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.

As of June 30, 2026, there was $502,248 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 2.0 years. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, the Company recognized expenses in the amounts of $115,044 and $125,430, respectively, 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.

Segment Information:

The Company has determined that it operates 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, and segment operating 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 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 19.

In accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting, the Company has included general and administrative expenses as a separately disclosed expense line item within the asset management segment. General and administrative expenses of MPC Capital are directly attributable to, and incurred solely in connection with, the operations of the asset management segment and do not include any allocated or shared corporate expenses. These expenses represent a significant component of the asset management segment’s operating results and are regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM in assessing segment performance and making resource allocation decisions. General and administrative expenses of the asset management segment were not separately disclosed in prior periods as the amounts were not considered significant. As they have become significant to the asset management segment in the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has elected to present this expense category separately. In accordance with ASC 280-10-50-29, comparative segment information for the six months ended June 30, 2025 has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. The recast of the comparative period did not result in any change to previously reported assets, or consolidated results.

(2)
The CODM evaluates the performance of each operating segment using segment operating income as the primary measure of profitability. In addition to the metrics that comprise segment operating income, the CODM also currently reviews dividend income from equity method investments measured at fair value in connection with the assessment of the asset management segment’s performance, which amounted to $9,956,652 for the six-months ended June 30, 2025 and $6,463,656 for the six-months ended June 30, 2026. Such dividend income is not included in the measure of segment operating income but is considered by the CODM as supplemental information when allocating resources and evaluating the results of the asset management segment.

Subsequent Events:


 
(a)
On July 22, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with third-party investors.  The Joint Venture was established to acquire, own and operate the M/V Magic Starlight, a 2015-built Kamsarmax bulk carrier vessel owned by the Company (the “Vessel”). The Company has contributed the Vessel to the Joint Venture in exchange for a 30% equity interest and cash consideration of $18.75 million. The Joint Venture funded the acquisition through a combination of cash contributed by its partners and a $11.5 million sustainability-linked senior term loan under a facility (the “Facility”) provided by a European bank. The Facility is secured by, among others, a first priority mortgage over the Vessel and is guaranteed by the Company. The transaction was completed on August 6, 2026, by delivering the Vessel to the Joint Venture. The Company expects to record during the third quarter of 2026, a net gain of approximately $2.9 million, excluding any transaction-related costs. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the fair value of the guarantee obligation in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, and has not yet finalized this assessment as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. Under the guarantee, in an event of default, the Company could be required to pay the full amount owed by the Joint Venture to the bank at that time.

 
(b)
On August 28, 2026, the shareholders of our subsidiary MPC Capital approved a change of its corporate name to MPC Oceanic Group AG at its Annual General Meeting. The new name took effect upon registration of the resolution in the commercial register, on September 3, 2026. The rebranding reflects the subsidiary’s strategic evolution from an investment manager to a fully integrated investment, services, and operating group across maritime and energy sectors. The name change does not affect the Company’s operations or financial condition.

 
(c)
On July 2, 2026, MPCC, an equity method investee of the Company, completed a private placement, registering 44,370,027 new shares at a subscription price of NOK 24 per share. The private placement generated gross proceeds of approximately $107 million. As a result of this capital increase, the Company's ownership percentage in MPCC decreased from 20.1% to 18.3%. The Company determined that this ownership change did not result in a loss of significant influence over MPCC. The Company continues to exert significant influence over MPCC through its representation on the board of directors and its participation in policy-making processes. Accordingly, the Company's investment in MPCC continues to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
