Insights

Financial Analyst

Toro Corp reported mixed Q2 results with lower revenue but higher net income, while showing significant cash position growth to $114.7M despite vessel reductions.

Toro Corp's Q2 2025 results paint a complex financial picture with notable contrasts. While vessel revenues declined 24.1% year-over-year to $4.1 million, net income increased by 27.3% to $1.4 million. This seemingly contradictory outcome stems from a strategic fleet reduction following the April 2025 spin-off of their Handysize tanker segment to Robin Energy Ltd.

The company's balance sheet has strengthened dramatically, with cash reserves soaring to $114.7 million from $37.2 million at year-end 2024. This 208% increase primarily resulted from the repayment of a $100 million loan from Castor Maritime. With a debt-free balance sheet, Toro maintains exceptional financial flexibility for potential growth opportunities.

Looking at fleet efficiency, despite having fewer vessels (4.1 average vessels in Q2 2025 vs. 5.0 in Q2 2024), Toro improved its Daily TCE Rate slightly to $11,492 from $11,268, indicating better per-vessel performance. Operating expenses decreased proportionally with the smaller fleet, with vessel operating expenses down $0.3 million to $2.0 million.

Toro's latest strategic moves suggest a focus on fleet optimization and capital deployment. Recent transactions include acquiring two MR tankers (the $36.25 million M/T Wonder Altair and the $30.3 million M/T Wonder Maia), while simultaneously selling two LPG carriers to Robin Energy (Dream Syrax for $18.0 million and Dream Terrax for $20.0 million).

Perhaps most significant is Toro's $60 million investment in Castor Maritime's Series E Preferred Shares with an 8.75% distribution rate. This substantial related-party transaction suggests confidence in Castor's prospects while securing a predictable income stream.

The company's substantial cash position, selective vessel acquisitions, and strategic investments indicate a disciplined approach to capital allocation, suggesting management is positioning Toro for sustainable long-term growth in the volatile energy transportation market.

Earnings Commentary:

Second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 Results

Total vessel revenues, net of charterers’ commissions, from continuing operations decreased to $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $5.4 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease of $1.3 million was mainly associated with the decrease in the Available Days of our fleet to 335 days in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 429 days in the same period in 2024 due to the spin-off of M/T Wonder Mimosa on April 14, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, our fleet earned on average a Daily TCE Rate of $11,492, compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $11,268 earned during the same period in 2024. Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix B for the definition and reconciliation of this measure to Total vessel revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Voyage expenses from continuing operations for our fleet decreased to $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.6 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease of $0.4 million was mainly associated with decreased bunkers consumption costs of $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

The decrease in vessel operating expenses from continuing operations by $0.3 million to $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.3 million in the same period in 2024, mainly reflects the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet to 377 days in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 455 days in the corresponding period in 2024 due to the spin-off of M/T Wonder Mimosa on April 14, 2025.

Management fees from continuing operations decreased to $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.5 million in the same period in 2024, reflecting the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet, and offset by the increase in management fees from $1,039 per vessel per day to $1,071 per vessel per day effective July 1, 2024, under the terms of the amended and restated master management agreement between the Company, the Company’s ship owning subsidiaries and Castor Ships S.A.

The decrease in depreciation expenses from continuing operations by $0.2 million to $0.9 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2025 from $1.1 million in the same period in 2024, mainly reflects the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet. Dry-dock amortization charges from continuing operations amounted to $0.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. LPG carrier Dream Terrax and LPG carrier Dream Arrax each completed its scheduled dry-dock in second quarter of 2025.

General and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the three months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $1.6 million, whereas, in the same period of 2024, general and administrative expenses totaled $2.4 million. This decrease is mainly associated with the stock based compensation cost for non-vested shares granted under our Equity Incentive Plan amounting to $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30 ,2025 and 2024 respectively.

Interest and finance costs, net, from continuing operations amounted to $(1.2) million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, whereas, in the same period of 2024, interest and finance costs, net amounted to $(2.1) million. This variation is mainly due to the decrease in interest income we earned from our time and cash deposits due to decreased average cash balances during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared with the same period of 2024.

Recent Financial Developments Commentary:

Equity update

On July 15, 2025, the Company paid to Castor a dividend amounting to $0.4 million on its 1.00% Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) for the period from April 15, 2025 to July 14, 2025.

Tender offer

On July 10, 2025, we commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 4,500,000 of our common shares, using funds available from cash and cash equivalents on hand, at a price of $2.75 per share. The tender offer expired at the end of the day, 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on August 7, 2025. The Board of Directors determined that it was in the our best interest to repurchase shares at such time given our cash position and stock price. Based on the final count by the depositary for the tender offer, 20,344 shares, were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to expiration of the tender offer. We accepted all of these shares for purchase in accordance with the terms of the tender offer at a price of $2.75 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, for an aggregate cost of approximately $0.1 million excluding fees relating to the tender offer.

As of October 1, 2025, we had 19,073,509 common shares issued and outstanding.

Liquidity/ Financing/Cash flow update

Our consolidated cash position increased by $77.5 million, from $37.2 million as of December 31, 2024, to $114.7 million as of June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our cash position increased mainly as a result of $94.9 million of net investing cash flows provided from continuing operations, mainly reflecting the proceeds from repayment of the $100.0 million plus $0.4 million of interest related to the senior term loan facility to Castor, as offset by $5.4 million reflecting the advance deposit for the acquisition of the M/T Wonder Altair which was delivered to the Company on July 11, 2025. These inflows were partially offset by (i) $6.5 million of net operating cash flows used in continuing operations and (ii) $11.1 million of net financing cash flows used in continuing operations, including the capital contribution of $10.4 million to Robin in connection to the Robin Spin-Off and payment to Castor of a dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares for the period from October 15, 2024 to April 14, 2025, amounting to $0.7 million.

APPENDIX B

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) Rate. The Daily Time Charter Equivalent Rate (“Daily TCE Rate”), is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. The Daily TCE Rate is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure) and should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We calculate Daily TCE Rate by dividing total revenues (time charter and/or voyage charter revenues, and/or pool revenues, net of charterers’ commissions), less voyage expenses, by the number of Available Days during that period. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all the vessel voyage related expenses. However, we may incur voyage related expenses when positioning or repositioning vessels before or after the period of a time or other charter, during periods of commercial waiting time or while off-hire during dry-docking or due to other unforeseen circumstances. Under voyage charters, the majority of voyage expenses are generally borne by us whereas for vessels in a pool, such expenses are borne by the pool operator. The Daily TCE Rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance and, management believes that the Daily TCE Rate provides meaningful information to our investors because it compares daily net earnings generated by our vessels irrespective of the mix of charter types (e.g., time charter, voyage charter, pools) under which our vessels are employed between the periods while it further assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating our financial performance. Our calculation of the Daily TCE Rates may be different from and may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

The following table reconciles the calculation of the Daily TCE Rate for our fleet (continuing operations) to Total vessel revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented (amounts in U.S. dollars, except for Available Days):

	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,

EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest and finance costs (if any), net of interest income, taxes (when incurred), depreciation and amortization of deferred dry-docking costs. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements to assess our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA assists our management by providing useful information that increases the comparability of our operating performance from period to period and against the operating performance of other companies in our industry that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest, other financial items, depreciation and amortization and taxes, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA as a measure of operating performance benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength. EBITDA as presented below may be different from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles EBITDA to Net Income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented:
