________________
¹Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share are not recognized measurements under US GAAP (GAAP) and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for EuroDry’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to a subsequent section of the Press Release for the definitions and reconciliation of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented: “During the second quarter of 2025 the drybulk market recovered a bit but the rebound was not sufficient to return the company to profitability. In July 2025, the market remained strong approaching the breakeven rate level of our fleet before giving up some of the gains in early August, a month, though, which is traditionally seasonally weak. If the present level of rates is maintained during August and, more so, if it improves, as usually happens during September, we would expect to have a better third quarter in terms of financial results as all our vessels are employed in short term charters or linked to market index levels.

“The near term outlook is dependent on the geopolitical and overall macroeconomic developments with the effect of the US imposed tariffs and the countermeasures taken by other countries being at the forefront of the uncertainty on the demand side. In addition, the recent attacks on two bulk carriers in Red Sea only increase the uncertainty and, generally, help higher demand for vessels as even fewer owners and operators would be crossing the area following the attacks.

“As discussed in previous presentations of our chartering strategy, we have kept our vessels on short term charters when rates were low and at non-profitable levels. However, if the markets improve further we will consider entering into year-long charters (physical or through FFA’s) for a portion of our fleet to lock-in positive cash flow. At the same time, we are looking at renewal opportunities of our elder vessels and financing options that could allow us to expand our fleet in accretive ways.”

Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry commented: “The net revenues of the second quarter of 2025 were weaker compared to the second quarter of 2024 as a result of the lower time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned, and the decreased average number of vessels operated during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. The time charter equivalent rates for the second quarter of 2025 were lower by 27.7% on average compared to the time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned in the second quarter of 2024.

“Daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, but excluding dry-docking costs, averaged $6,785 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $6,396 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $6,685 per vessel per day for the first half of 2025 as compared to $6,289 per vessel per day for the same period of 2024. The main reason for this increase is the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2025, increasing it from 810 Euros to 840 Euros, and the unfavorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate during the period. General and administrative expenses averaged $754 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $666 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $734 per vessel per day for the first half of 2025 as compared to $675 per vessel per day for the same period of 2024. This increase is explained by the allocation of expenses of approximately the same levels in the respective three-month and six-month periods, to a decreased number of vessels in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025.

“Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2025 was $1.9 million compared to $5.0 million in the second quarter of last year.

“As of June 30, 2025, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $102.1 million, while unrestricted and restricted cash was $11.4 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments including balloon payments over the next 12 months amounted to about $12.7 million.”

Second Quarter 2025 Results:

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company reported total net revenues of $11.3 million representing a 35.3% decrease over total net revenues of $17.4 million during the second quarter of 2024 which was the result of the lower time charter rates our vessels earned, and the decreased average number of vessels operated during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. On average, 12.0 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of 2025 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $10,428 per day compared to 13.0 vessels in the same period of 2024 earning on average $14,427 per day.

For the second quarter of 2025, voyage expenses, net amounted to $0.8 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time, as compared to $2.2 million in the same period of 2024. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $6.6 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased number of vessels operating in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

Depreciation expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.2 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period of 2024 as a result of the lower number of vessels owned and operated in the second quarter of 2025.

Related party management fees for the period were $1.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2024, due to the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2025, increasing it from 810 Euros to 840 Euros and the unfavorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate, partly offset by the lower number of vessels owned and operated in the respective period.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $0.8 million remaining at the same level as compared to the second quarter of 2024.

During the second quarter of 2025, one vessel completed its intermediate survey in water and another one commenced her special survey with dry-dock in order to complete it during the third quarter of 2025, for a total cost of $0.4 million. During the second quarter of 2024, there was one vessel that completed its special survey and another two commenced their special survey with dry-dock in order to complete it during the third quarter of 2024, for a total cost of $1.9 million.

Interest and other financing costs for the second quarter of 2025 amounted to $1.7 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period of 2024. Interest expense during the second quarter of 2025 was lower mainly due to the decreased benchmark rates of our loans, partly offset by the increased average debt during the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the same period of last year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $0.06 million unrealized loss and a $0.03 million realized gain on one interest rate swap. The results for the second quarter of 2024 include an unrealized gain of $0.04 million and a realized gain of $0.05 million on an interest rate swap contract.

The Company reported a net loss for the period of $3.1 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $3.07 million, as compared to a net loss of $0.3 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $0.4 million for the same period of 2024. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $0.04 million in the second quarter of 2025 represents the loss attributable to the 39% ownership of the entities owning the M/V Christos K and M/V Maria represented by NRP Project Finance AS (“NRP investors”) (the “Partnership”).

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.9 million compared to $5.0 million achieved during the second quarter of 2024.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.12 calculated on 2,737,297 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to loss per share of $0.15 calculated on 2,710,413 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2024.

Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter of the unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, the adjusted loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 would have been $1.10 per share basic and diluted, compared to adjusted loss of $0.17 per share basic and diluted, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Usually, security analysts do not include the above item in their published estimates of earnings per share.

First Half 2025 Results:

For the first half of 2025, the Company reported total net revenues of $20.5 million representing a 35.7% decrease over total net revenues of $31.9 million during the first half of 2024, which was the result of the lower time charter rates our vessels earned, and the decreased average numbers of vessels operated during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. On average, 12.4 vessels were owned and operated during the first half of 2025 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $8,761 per day compared to 13.0 vessels in the same period of 2024 earning on average $13,452 per day.

For the first half of 2025, Voyage expenses, net, were $2.5 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time. For the same period of 2024, voyage expenses, net were $3.7 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time.

Vessel operating expenses were $12.8 million for the first half of 2025, remaining at the same level as compared to $12.8 million for the first half of 2024.

Depreciation expense for the first half of 2025 was $6.4 million compared to $6.9 million during the same period of 2024, mainly due to the lower number of vessels operating in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.

Related party management fees for the first half of 2025 were slightly increased to $2.2 million from $2.1 million for the same period of 2024 due to the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2025, increasing it from 810 Euros to 840 Euros, and the unfavorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate during the period, partly offset by the lower average number of vessels owned and operated in the six month period of 2025.

General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2025, remained at the same level of $1.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

During the first half of 2025 one vessel completed its intermediate survey in water and another one commenced her special survey with dry-dock in order to complete it during the third quarter of 2025, for a total cost of $0.4 million. During the first half of 2024 three of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking and another two commenced their special surveys with dry-dock in order to complete them during the third quarter of 2024, for a total cost of $3.7 million.

On January 29, 2025, the Company signed an agreement to sell M/V Tasos, a 75,100 dwt drybulk vessel, built in 2000, for demolition, for approximately $5 million. The vessel was delivered to its buyers, an unaffiliated third party, on March 17, 2025, resulting in a gain on sale of $2.1 million

Interest and other financing costs for the first half of 2025 amounted to $3.5 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease is mainly due to the decreased benchmark rates of our loans, partly offset by the increased average debt during the first half of 2025, as compared to the same period of last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $0.1 million realized gain and a $0.2 million unrealized loss on one interest rate swap. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.1 million realized gain and a $0.2 million unrealized gain on one interest rate swap and a $0.3 million gain on FFA contracts.  

The Company reported a net loss for the period of $7.1 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $6.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $2.2 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $2.2 million, for the first half of 2024. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $0.3 million in the first half of 2025 represents the loss attributable to the 39% ownership of the Partnership.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025 was $0.9 million compared to $7.1 million achieved during the first half of 2024.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the first half of 2025 was $2.47, calculated on 2,737,297 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding compared to loss per share of $0.81, calculated on 2,721,952 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the first half of the year of the unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives and the net gain on sale of a vessel, the adjusted loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, would have been $3.17 per share basic and diluted, compared to adjusted loss of $1.35 per share basic and diluted, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. As previously mentioned, usually, security analysts do not include the above item in their published estimates of earnings per share.

Fleet Profile:

The EuroDry Ltd. fleet profile is as follows:

Summary Fleet Data:

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted the Company’s fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of the Company’s fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.

(2) Calendar days. We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was owned by us including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during that period.

(3) The scheduled off-hire days including vessels laid-up are days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up.

(4) Available days. We define available days as the total number of Calendar days in a period net of scheduled off-hire days incl. laid up. We use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.

(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days a vessel is idle without employment.

(6) Operational off-hire days. We define operational off-hire days as days associated with unscheduled repairs or other off-hire time related to the operation of the vessels.

(7) Voyage days. We define voyage days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of commercial and operational off-hire days. We use voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues or are sailing for repositioning purposes.

(8) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our voyage days during a period by the number of our available days during that period. We use fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons such as unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment.

(9) Fleet utilization, commercial. We calculate commercial fleet utilization by dividing our available days net of commercial off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.

(10) Fleet utilization, operational. We calculate operational fleet utilization by dividing our available days net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.

(11) Average time charter equivalent rate, or average TCE, is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our vessels. Our method of calculating average TCE is determined by dividing time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue, if any, net of voyage expenses by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract or are related to repositioning the vessel for the next charter. Average TCE provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue, if any, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because we believe that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. Average TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyage charters, time charters, pool agreements and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our definition of average TCE may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.

(12) We calculate daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and related party management fees by dividing vessel operating expenses and related party management fees by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. Drydocking expenses are reported separately.

(13) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by us by dividing general and administrative expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.

(14) Total vessel operating expenses, or TVOE, is a measure of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. We compute TVOE as the sum of vessel operating expenses, related party management fees and general and administrative expenses; drydocking expenses are not included. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.

(15) Daily drydocking expenses is calculated by us by dividing drydocking expenses by the fleet calendar days for the relevant period. Drydocking expenses include expenses during drydockings that would have been capitalized and amortized under the deferral method. Drydocking expenses could vary substantially from period to period depending on how many vessels underwent drydocking during the period. The Company expenses drydocking expenses as incurred.

Cash breakdown

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:
EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, unrealized gain on Forward Freight Agreement derivatives (“FFAs”), gain / (loss) on interest rate swap derivative and net gain on sale of vessel. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance because the Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, financial costs, unrealized gain on FFAs, (gain) / loss on interest rate swap derivative, depreciation and net gain on sale of vessel. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries. 

Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders Reconciliation:
EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders, to represent net loss before net gain on sale of vessel and unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, which includes FFAs and interest rate swaps. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders are included herein because we believe they assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company’s fundamental performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives and net gain on sale of vessel, which may significantly affect results of operations between periods.

Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss attributable to controlling shareholders or loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders, as determined by GAAP. The Company’s definition of Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders may not be the same as that used by other companies in shipping or other industries. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders are not adjusted for all non-cash income and expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows.
