Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenues decreased 8% to $15.2 million. This was driven by a 31% drop in trade revenues from related parties (due to fewer vessels in pools) and the cessation of syndication income. These declines were partially offset by a 10% increase in voyage and time charter revenues, largely due to the new Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) "ACE Supplier."
• Operating Loss: The company swung from an operating income of $2.8 million to an operating loss of $2.6 million. Key drivers included a 53% increase in General and Administrative (G&A) expenses to $10.4 million and a 47% rise in operating lease expenses to $7.2 million.
• Expense Drivers: The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to $1.4 million in public company costs following the Nasdaq listing and $3.6 million in stock-based compensation. Operating lease expenses rose due to the charter-in of the PSV.
• Discontinued Operations: A significant non-cash loss of $12.9 million was recognized on the disposal of Americana Liberty LLC, contributing to the total net loss of $19.8 million.
• Non-GAAP Adjustments: Adjusted EBITDA excludes $3.6 million in stock-based compensation and a $3.9 million non-cash expense related to the fair value of earnout shares.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Liquidity: Management believes working capital is sufficient to meet needs for the next 12 months. Cash balances decreased from $20.0 million to $11.3 million, largely due to an $8.0 million dividend paid in February 2025.
• Strategic Acquisitions: The company entered a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to acquire the container vessel C/V A. Obelix for $25.25 million, supported by seller financing and a new $12.4 million term loan secured in July 2025.
• Debt Facilities: The company maintains four credit facilities with Macquarie Bank Limited with a combined limit of $85.0 million. The company is currently in compliance with covenants.
• Risks:
  • Market Risk: Exposure to currency fluctuations (USD vs. Euro) and commodity prices. No hedging contracts are currently in place for currency risk.
  • Charter Renewal: Future cash flows depend on prevailing market rates when current charters expire.
  • Customer Concentration: Three customers accounted for significant portions of revenue in 2025 (29%, 18%, and 16%).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Discontinued Operations Impact: Verify the extent to which the $13.8 million loss from discontinued operations (Americana Liberty) obscures the performance of the core maritime business.
• Non-Cash Expenses: Review the $3.9 million expense related to earnout shares and $3.6 million stock-based compensation to assess true cash burn.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the $85 million Macquarie facility covenants, specifically regarding the aggregate number of eligible vessels.
• Acquisition Financing: Monitor the closing of the C/V A. Obelix acquisition and the drawdown of the $12.4 million term loan.
• Revenue Concentration: Assess the risk associated with the top three customers representing over 60% of total revenue.
