- Net Income Surge: Net income increased significantly to $11.1 million from $1.5 million in Q1 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to a one-time gain of $10.23 million from the sale of the vessel M/V Diamantis P.

- Verify the sustainability of earnings by analyzing Adjusted Net Income ($0.9 million) versus GAAP Net Income ($11.1 million) to understand the impact of the one-time vessel sale.
- Confirm the terms and duration of the time charters for the remaining two vessels (M/V Joanna and M/V Aegean Express) to assess future revenue visibility.
- Monitor the strategic review process and potential implications of the new majority ownership by the Latsis family affiliate.
- Review the increase in general and administrative expenses to determine if these are one-time spin-off costs or recurring operational burdens.
