Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 10% in Q3 2025 and 15% YTD 2025 compared to the prior year. This was primarily driven by a significant increase in shipping days (22% increase in Q3, 34% increase YTD) due to the acquisition of 15 vessels in late 2024.
• Profitability: Net income attributable to Pangaea more than doubled in Q3 2025 ($12.2M vs. $5.1M) despite a decline in TCE rates. However, YTD net income decreased significantly ($7.5M vs. $20.5M) due to lower market rates and higher operating costs.
• Expense Increases: Vessel operating expenses rose 57% in Q3 and 63% YTD, largely due to the expanded fleet size. General and administrative expenses increased 64% in Q3, driven by the consolidation of Seamar Management and higher incentive compensation.
• Charter Strategy: Charter hire expenses decreased 7% in Q3 as the Company reduced reliance on chartered-in vessels following fleet expansion. Conversely, time charter revenue increased 91% in Q3 due to higher time charter days.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Market Conditions: The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) averaged 1,978 in Q3 2025, up 6% from the prior year. However, the Company's achieved TCE rates declined 5% in Q3 compared to Q3 2024, though they still outperformed market averages by approximately 10% due to long-term contracts.
• Capital Allocation: The Company repurchased 403,400 shares for approximately $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2025. Approximately $13.0 million remains available under the $15.0 million repurchase program. A quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share was declared on November 5, 2025.
• Subsequent Events: On October 18, 2025, the Company agreed to sell the M/V Bulk Freedom for $9.6 million, expecting a gain of approximately $2.8 million. Delivery is expected in Q4 2025.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025, due to a material weakness in revenue recognition controls identified in the prior year. Remediation actions are underway.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains $94.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Management believes current resources are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months, barring significant declines in shipping rates.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Revenue Recognition Controls: Verify the status of remediation for the material weakness in revenue recognition (ASC 606) and the effectiveness of new internal controls.
• Fleet Utilization vs. Rates: Monitor the impact of the expanded fleet on TCE rates; while volume increased, rates have softened compared to the prior year.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with financial covenants, specifically liquidity and collateral maintenance ratios, given the high level of secured debt and financing obligations.
• Drydocking Costs: Track upcoming capital expenditures for special and intermediate surveys, estimated at $3.7 million for Q4 2025 and $15.1 million for 2026.
• Customer Concentration: Note that one significant customer comprises 34% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025.
