#### Q2 2025 Estimated TCE Update
On June 13, 2025, the Company provided an update to its estimated time charter equivalent ("TCE") rate for the second quarter of 2025. On a fleet-wide basis, the Company estimates its TCE rate for the second quarter of 2025 to be approximately $13,800 per day for approximately 95% of its owned available days for the quarter. The TCE figure is estimated based on both period and spot fixtures for the Company's vessels and is inclusive of scrubber premium. This figure is subject to change based on the closing of our financial results for the quarter, including rates obtained for fixtures for the remaining available days, the timing of voyage revenue and voyage expense recognition in accordance with GAAP reporting standards. The Company also estimates a total of approximately 3,430 owned fleet available days for the second quarter of 2025.

TCE is a non-GAAP measure presented to provide investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding the Company's operating performance. We define TCE rates as our voyage revenues less voyage expenses, charter hire expenses, and realized gain or losses on fuel hedges, divided by the number of the available days of our owned fleet during the period. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts. Our estimated TCE for the second quarter of 2025 is based on fixtures booked to date. Actual results may vary based on the actual duration of voyages and other factors. Accordingly, we are unable to provide, without unreasonable efforts, a reconciliation of estimated TCE for the second quarter to the most comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. From time to time, we may provide estimates of our TCE rate for a given quarter. Our vessel fixtures, owned available days, and TCE rate may all vary from those of prior estimates. We do not undertake any obligation to update, revise, or continue to provide such estimates. Net revenue is calculated by multiplying TCE by owned available days.

The information set forth under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

#### "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as "anticipate," "budget," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our management's current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this release are the following: (i) declines or sustained weakness in demand in the drybulk shipping industry; (ii) weakness or declines in drybulk shipping rates; (iii) changes in the supply of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (iv) changes in the supply of drybulk carriers including newbuilding of vessels or lower than anticipated scrapping of older vessels; (v) increases in costs and expenses including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance, general and administrative expenses, and management expenses; (vi) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (vii) acts of war, terrorism, or piracy, including without limitation the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and attacks on vessels in the Red Sea; (viii) changes in the condition of the Company's vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs) and unanticipated drydock expenditures; (ix) the Company's acquisition or disposition of vessels; (x) the completion of definitive documentation with respect to charters; (xi) charterers' compliance with the terms of their charters in the current market environment; (xii) the extent to which our operating results are affected by weakness in market conditions and freight and charter rates; (xiii) our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operation, to obtain and maintain acceptable terms with our vendors, customers and service providers and to retain key executives, managers and employees; (xiv) completion of documentation for vessel transactions and the performance of the terms thereof by buyers or sellers of vessels and us; (xv) the relative cost and availability of low sulfur and high sulfur fuel, worldwide compliance with sulfur emissions regulations that took effect on January 1, 2020 and our ability to realize the economic benefits or recover the cost of the scrubbers we have installed; (xvi) outbreaks of disease such as the COVID-19 pandemic; (xvii) trade conflicts and the imposition of port fees, tariffs and other import restrictions; and (xvii) other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q). We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
