Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry, commented:
“During the first quarter of 2025, we faced quite low charter markets, the lowest since the early days of the COVID pandemic, and although the market rebounded a bit in April and May, the rebound was not sufficient to return most vessels to profitability and, in addition, it started fizzling out by the end of May and early June in the face of season trends and the uncertainty created by the back-and-forth’s on the tariff front. As EuroDry is fully exposed to the short-term charter markets, it is no surprise that we had a rather poor financial outcome for the quarter. The near-term outlook remains volatile as the demand side of the supply/demand equation struggles to establish a positive trend affected by the weakness of the steel industry and overall economic growth in China, the negative medium-term trend for thermal coal and the continuing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza that have pushed significant reconstruction projects to the future.
“We have refrained from locking our vessels into longer duration charters at non-profitable levels deciding to face the market by pursuing short term trip charters to, potentially, benefit from any reversal in trends. The orderbook, as a percentage of the fleet, although it has modestly increased, remains low by historical standards, offering the possibility that a meaningful upturn in demand could quickly translate to better rates. At the same time, we try to optimize incremental investment in our elder cluster of Panamax vessels, especially around the time of drydockings; the sale of M/V Tasos was the result of cost/benefit analysis. As always, we continuously look for new opportunities to invest, mainly, in combination with the renewal of our fleet.”
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry, commented:
“Our net revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were lower by 36.2% as compared to the first quarter of 2024. This is primarily driven by the decrease of 42.5% in average time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned during the current quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2024, partly offset by the increased voyage days during the first quarter of 2025, mostly due to the fact that there were no scheduled off hire days due to drydocking, compared to 52.5 days of the same period of 2024.
“Vessel operating expenses were $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $6.2 million for the same period of 2024. The increase is mainly attributable to increased costs of spare parts and maintenance for several of our vessels in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024.
“Adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter of 2025 was $(1.0) million compared to $2.1 million achieved for the first quarter of last year. As of March 31, 2025, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $105.2 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash of approximately $11.3 million.”
First Quarter 2025 Results:
For the first quarter of 2025, the Company reported total net revenues of $9.2 million representing a 36.2% decrease over total net revenues of $14.4 million during the first quarter of 2024, which was the result of the decreased time charter rates our vessels earned during the first quarter of 2025 , partly offset by the increased voyage days during the first quarter of 2025, mostly due to the fact that there were no scheduled off hire days due to drydocking, compared to 52.5 days of the same period of 2024.. On average, 12.8 vessels were owned and operated during the first quarter of 2025 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $7,167 per day compared to 13.0 vessels in the same period of 2024 earning on average $12,455 per day.
For the first quarter of 2025, voyage expenses amounted to $1.7 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time, as compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2024. Vessel operating expenses increased to $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 from $6.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased cost for spare parts and maintenance for several of our vessels operating in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $3.2 million compared to $3.4 million for the same period of 2024 as a result of the lower number of vessels owned and operated in the first quarter of 2025.
Related party management fees for the period were $1.05 million compared to $1.08 million for the same period of 2024, again due to the decreased number of vessels owned and operated in the first quarter of 2025 and the favorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate, partly offset by the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2025, increasing it from 810 Euros to 840 Euros.
General and administrative expenses were $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, similar to the same period of last year.
In the first quarter of 2025, one of our vessels completed its intermediate survey in water for a total cost of $0.1 million. In the first quarter of 2024 two of our vessels were drydocked in order to pass their special survey, for a total cost of $1.8 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 quarter of 2025 decreased to $1.8 million as compared to $2.1 million for the same period of 2024. Interest expense during the first quarter of 2025 was lower mainly due to the decreased benchmark rates of our loans, partly offset by the increased average debt during the first quarter of 2025, as compared to the same period of last year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $0.13 million unrealized loss and a $0.04 million realized gain on one interest rate swap. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.15 million unrealized gain and a $0.06 million realized gain on one interest rate swap, as well as a $1.29 million unrealized gain and a $0.95 million realized loss on forward freight agreement contracts.
The Company reported a net loss for the period of $4.0 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $3.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.9 and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $1.8 million for the same period of 2024. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $0.3 million in the first 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 first quarter of 2025 was $(1.0) million compared to $2.1 million achieved during the first quarter of 2024.
Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.35, calculated on 2,737,297 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to a basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders of $0.65 for the first quarter of 2024, calculated on 2,733,491 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter of the unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives and the net gain on sale of vessel, the adjusted loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 would have been $2.07 per share basic and diluted, compared to an adjusted loss of $1.18 per share basic and diluted attributable to controlling shareholders, respectively for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

(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.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:
EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, unrealized gain on Forward Freight Agreements (“FFAs”), loss / (gain) 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, loss / (gain) 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 unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, which includes FFAs and interest rate swaps, and net gain on sale of vessel. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders is 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 the 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.
