Management Commentary for Third Quarter 2025:

Mr. Petros Panagiotidis, Chief Executive Officer of Castor, commented:

“In Q3 2025, improved rates and stronger charter demand reinforced our conviction in the dry-bulk market’s long-term fundamentals.

During the quarter, we completed our first sale-and-leaseback transaction, introducing modest leverage to support balance-sheet efficiency and optimize our capital structure.

With a disciplined approach to funding and a solid balance sheet, we remain well positioned to capture future opportunities and continue delivering value.”
