(Expressed in U.S. Dollars – except for share data unless otherwise stated)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Basis of Presentation and General information:** 

Toro Corp. ("Toro") was formed on July 29, 2022 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Castor Maritime Inc. ("Castor", or the "Former Parent Company") under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands under the name Tankco Shipping Inc. and changed its name to Toro Corp. on September 29, 2022. On March 7, 2023 (the "Distribution Date"), Castor completed the Spin-Off (as defined herein) of Toro based on the terms approved by the independent disinterested directors of Castor following the recommendation of its special committee of independent disinterested directors. In the Spin-Off, Castor separated its tanker fleet from its dry bulk and container fleet by, among other actions, contributing to Toro its interest in the subsidiaries comprising its tanker fleet, each owning one tanker vessel and Elektra Shipping Co. (the "Toro Subsidiaries") in exchange for (i) 9,461,009 common shares of Toro, (ii) the issuance to Castor of 140,000 1.00% Series A fixed rate cumulative perpetual convertible preferred shares of Toro (the "Series A Preferred Shares") having a stated amount of $1,000 per share and a par value of $0.001 per share and (iii) the issuance at par to Pelagos Holdings Corp, a company controlled by the Toro's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, of 40,000 Series B preferred shares of Toro, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B Preferred Shares"). Toro's common shares were distributed on March 7, 2023 pro rata to the shareholders of record of Castor as of February 22, 2023 at a ratio of one Toro common share for every ten Castor common shares. The foregoing transactions are referred to collectively herein as the "Spin-Off". Toro began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq"), under the symbol "TORO".

In addition, Toro entered into various agreements effecting the separation of its business from Castor including a Contribution and Spin-Off Distribution Agreement entered into by Toro and Castor on February 24, 2023 (the "Contribution and Spin-Off Distribution Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Castor agreed to indemnify Toro and the Toro Subsidiaries for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of vessels or subsidiaries that Castor retained after the Distribution Date and Toro agreed to indemnify Castor for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of the vessels contributed to it or the Toro Subsidiaries, and (ii) Toro agreed to replace Castor as guarantor under the $18.0 million senior secured credit facility with Alpha Bank S.A. (the "$18.0 Million Term Loan Facility") upon completion of the Spin-Off. The Contribution and Spin-Off Distribution Agreement also provided for the settlement or extinguishment of certain liabilities and other obligations between Castor and Toro and provides Castor with certain registration rights relating to Toro's common shares, if any, issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares issued to Castor in connection with the Spin-Off. Following the successful completion of the Spin Off on March 7, 2023, Toro reimbursed Castor for expenses related to the Spin-Off that were incurred by Castor, except for any of these expenses that were incurred or paid by any of Toro's subsidiaries, after March 7, 2023.

The Spin-off has been accounted for as a transfer of business among entities under common control. Accordingly, these accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented as if the Toro Subsidiaries were consolidated subsidiaries of the Company for all periods presented and using the historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities of the subsidiaries listed below, from their dates of incorporation. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toro and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company").

On April 14, 2025 (the "Robin Distribution Date"), the Company contributed (a) the subsidiaries constituting the Company's Handysize tanker segment and (b) $10.4 million in cash to the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Robin Energy Ltd. ("Robin") as a capital contribution, in exchange for (i) the issuance by Robin to Toro of all 2,386,732 of Robin's issued and outstanding common shares, and 2,000,000 1.00% Series A fixed rate cumulative perpetual convertible preferred shares of Robin, having a stated amount of $25 and a par value of $0.001 per share and (ii) the issuance of 40,000 Series B preferred shares of Robin, par value $0.001 per share, to Pelagos Holdings Corp, a company controlled by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On the same day, the Company distributed all issued and outstanding shares of Robin to its common shareholders of record as of April 7, 2025, at a ratio of one Robin common share for every eight Company common shares (such transactions collectively, the "Robin Spin-Off").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Basis of Presentation and General information: (continued)** 

The Company is currently engaged in the worldwide transportation of refined petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas through its vessel-owning subsidiaries.

As a result of the sale of the *M/T Wonder Sirius* on January 8, 2024, the Company no longer has any Aframax/LR2 vessels. The results of operations and cash flows of the Aframax/LR2 tanker segment, as well as its assets and liabilities, are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3).

Castor Ships S.A., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands ("Castor Ships"), a related party controlled by Toro's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Petros Panagiotidis, provides ship management and chartering services to the vessels owned by the Company's vessel-owning subsidiaries with effect from July 1, 2022. Such services are provided through subcontracting agreements with unrelated third-party managers, entered into with the Company's consent, for all of the Company's vessels. During the period ended December 31, 2021 and until June 30, 2022, Castor Ships provided only commercial ship management and chartering services to such subsidiaries. As a part of the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a master management agreement with Castor Ships with respect to its vessels in substantially the same form as Castor's Master Management Agreement previously in place for its vessels. The vessel management agreements with Castor Ships previously entered into for each of the vessels by the applicable vessel-owning subsidiary remain in effect for each such vessel. Upon the acquisition of the LPG carrier vessels in the second and third quarters of 2023, the relevant vessel owning subsidiaries entered into management agreements with Castor Ships on substantially the same terms as the existing vessel-owning subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:** 

A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company's 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements:***

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2025-05 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **Discontinued operations:** 

Following the sale of the *M/T Wonder Sirius* (Note 1), the Company no longer has any Aframax/LR2 vessels.

In this respect, the results of operations and cash flows of the Aframax/LR2 segment, as well as its assets and liabilities, are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The distribution rate on the Castor Series D Preferred Shares is 5.00% per annum, which rate will be multiplied by a factor of 1.3 on the seventh anniversary of the issue date of the Castor Series D Preferred Shares and annually thereafter, subject to a maximum distribution rate of 20% per annum in respect of any quarterly dividend period. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October in each year, subject to Castor's board of directors' approval.

The Series D Preferred Shares are convertible, in whole or in part, at the Company's option to common shares of Castor from the first anniversary of their issue date at the lower of (i) $7.00 per common share, and (ii) the 5-day-value-weighted average price immediately preceding the conversion. On March 27, 2024, Castor effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock without any change in the number of authorized common shares. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of Castor's outstanding shares as of March 27, 2024, decreased to 9,662,354 while the par value of its common shares remained unchanged at $0.001 per share. The conversion price of the Castor Series D Preferred Shares is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the occurrence of splits and combinations (including a reverse stock split) of the common shares and was adjusted to $7.00 per common share on March 27, 2024 from $0.70 per common share following effectiveness of the 1-for-10 reverse stock split. The minimum conversion price of the Series D Preferred Shares is $0.30 per common share.

On December 12, 2024, Toro agreed to purchase for an aggregate consideration of $50,000,000 in cash, an additional 50,000 Castor Series D Preferred Shares. The Company owns all 100,000 outstanding Castor Series D Preferred Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Transactions with Related Parties: (continued)** 

In connection with the transaction, Castor amended the terms of the Castor Series D Preferred Shares to, among other things: (i) reset the date from which holders of the Castor Series D Preferred Shares may convert their Series D Preferred Shares into common shares of Castor to January 1, 2026 from August 7, 2024, (ii) require that any holder of the Castor Series D Preferred Shares electing to exercise its optional conversion rights convert not less than 500 Castor Series D Preferred Shares into common shares of Castor, and (iii) introduce an additional redemption feature whereby Castor may, at its option, redeem for cash all remaining outstanding Castor Series D Preferred Shares if the number of Series D Preferred Shares outstanding is 30,000 or less. Toro may not dispose of any of the Castor Series D Preferred Shares for a period of 180 days after the closing date of the transaction.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, the Company received a dividend on the Castor Series D Preferred Shares, amounting to $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, the aggregate value of the investment in Castor amounted to $100,687,500 and $101,104,167, respectively, including $687,500 and $1,104,167 of accrued dividends, respectively, and is included as 'Investment in related parties' in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not identify any impairment or any observable prices for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

On December 11, 2024, Toro entered into a facility agreement with Castor to provide a $100.0 million senior term loan facility to Castor (the "Term Loan") which was drawn-down on the same date. The Term Loan has a tenor of 5 years, bears interest at the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 1.80% per annum, is guaranteed by ten ship-owning subsidiaries of Castor and is receivable in (a) twenty (20) consecutive quarterly installments, each of $2,500,000, commencing on March 11, 2025, and (b) a balloon installment in the amount of $50.0 million at its maturity together with the last quarterly installment. The Term Loan is secured by first priority mortgages and first priority general assignments covering insurance policies and requisition compensation over the ten vessels owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Castor. The value of these vessels was approximately $235.0 million based on third-party valuations at the time of the drawdown by Castor. Pursuant to the terms of this facility, Castor is also subject to certain negative covenants customary for facilities of this type, which may be waived in Toro's sole discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Term Loan was fully repaid. As result there is no balance under 'Loan to related party' as of June 30, 2025 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the interest income under the Term Loan amounted to $1,771,836 and is presented in 'Interest income from related party' in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The above transactions and their terms were approved by the independent members of the board of directors of each of Castor and the Company at the recommendation of their respective special committees composed of independent and disinterested directors, which negotiated the transaction and its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** **Equity incentive plan:** 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company maintains an Equity Incentive Plan (as defined and discussed in Note 12) under which the Company's board of directors has made and may make awards of certain securities of the Company or cash to directors, officers and employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates and consultants and service providers to (including persons who are employed by or provide services to any entity that is itself a consultant or service provider to) the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The stock based compensation cost for the non-vested shares under the Equity Incentive Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, amounted to $2,617,519 and $1,769,877, respectively, and is included in 'General and administrative expenses' in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** **Robin Energy Ltd.** 

As discussed in Note 1, as part of the Robin Spin-Off Toro received 2,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares, having a stated amount of $25 and a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company is the holder of all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (Note 1). The Series A Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible, at their holder's option, to common shares at any time and from time to time from and after the second anniversary of April 14, 2025. The conversion price for any conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be the lower of (i) 200% of the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of our common shares over the five consecutive trading day period commencing on and including April 14, 2025, and (ii) the VWAP of our common shares over the five consecutive trading day period expiring on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of written notice of the conversion.

As there was no observable market for the Series A Preferred Shares, these were recognized at $25,942,180, being the fair value of the shares determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration a third-party valuation. The fair value on the initial recognition is deemed to be the cost. The applied valuation methodology was comprised the trifurcation of the value of the Series A Preferred Shares in three components namely, the "straight" preferred stock component, the embedded option component while an incremental value was also ascribed to the conversion at the variable conversion price. The sum of the these components was used to estimate the value for the Series A Preferred Shares at $25,942,180. The valuation methodology and the significant other observable inputs used for each component are set out below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.** **Mezzanine equity:** 

#### Series A Preferred Shares
The Company issued as part of the Spin-Off to Castor 140,000 Series A Preferred Shares with par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $1,000 each. Details of the Company's Series A Preferred Shares are discussed in Note 9 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report.

The Company uses an effective interest rate of 3.71% over the expected life of the preferred stock (being nine years) which is the expected earliest redemption date. This is consistent with the interest method, taking into account the discount between the issuance price and liquidation preference and the stated dividends, including "step-up" amounts. The amount accreted during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $1,557,952 and is presented as 'Deemed dividend on Series A Preferred Shares' in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

As of June 30, 2025, the net value of Mezzanine Equity amounted to $124,223,771, including the amount of $1,557,952 of deemed dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares in the six months ended June 30, 2025, and is presented as 'Mezzanine Equity' in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures** 

As of June 30, 2025, the principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash at banks, trade accounts receivable, investment in equity securities and investment in related parties, Castor and Robin, and amounts due from related parties. As of June 30, 2025, the principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of trade accounts payable and amounts due to related parties.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable trade, net, amounts due from/to related party/(ies) and accounts payable:** The carrying values reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for those financial instruments
 are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term maturity nature. Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investment in related parties:** Investment in related parties is initially measured at the transaction
 price and subsequently assessed for the existence of any observable market for the Castor Series D Preferred Shares and Robin Series A Preferred Shares, any observable price changes for identical or similar investments and the
 existence of any indications for impairment. As per the Company's assessment no such case was identified as at June 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investment in equity securities**: The carrying value reported in the
 accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for investment in equity securities with readily determinable fair values represents its fair value and is considered a Level 1 item of the fair value hierarchy as it is
 determined though quoted prices in an active market. Investment in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value is initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently assessed for the existence of any
 observable market and any observable price changes for identical or similar investments and the existence of any indications for impairment. As per the Company's assessment, no such case was identified as at June 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures: (continued)** 

**Concentration of credit risk:** Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, due from related parties and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions in which it places its deposits. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.** **Commitments and Contingencies:** 

Various claims, lawsuits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, pool operators, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company's vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. As of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management was not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities that should be disclosed or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is covered for liabilities associated with the vessels' actions to the maximum limits as provided by Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, members of the International Group of P&I Clubs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12**. **Equity Incentive Plan: (continued)** 

<br> The stock based compensation cost for the non-vested shares under the Equity Incentive Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025 amounted to $2,617,519 and $1,769,877, respectively, and is included in 'General and administrative expenses' in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

A summary of the status of the Company's non-vested restricted shares as of June 30, 2025, and the movement during the six months ended June 30, 2025, is presented below:

| Vested<br>| (260000) | 4.52<br>|
| **Non-vested, June 30, 2025** | **1180000** | 5.27 |

---

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, 260,000 restricted common shares were vested. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost relating to the shares granted amounting to $2,308,971 as of June 30, 2025, is expected to be recognized over the remaining period of two years, according to the contractual terms of those non-vested share awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13**. **Earnings/(Loss) Per Common Share:** 

The computation of (loss)/earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.

The Company calculates (loss)/earnings per common share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period.

The Company calculates basic (loss)/earnings per share in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. The calculation of basic (loss)/earnings per share does not consider the non-vested shares as outstanding until the time-based vesting restrictions have lapsed.

Diluted (loss)/earnings per common share, if applicable, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive instruments were exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional shares that would then share in the Company's net income. For the purpose of calculating diluted (loss)/earnings per common share, the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding includes (i) the conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (Note 9) calculated with the "if converted" method by using the average closing market price over the reporting periods and (ii) the incremental shares assumed to be issued, determined under the two-class method weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding, if the two-class method was more dilutive than the treasury stock method. If there is a loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per common share (EPS) would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for discontinued operations. Thus, the inclusion of the potential common shares from the conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and the incremental shares assumed to be issued, determined under the two-class or treasury stock method weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding, in diluted EPS from continuing operations would have an anti-dilutive effect. Therefore, basic EPS and diluted EPS are the same for continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income. The components of the calculation of basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per common share in each of the periods comprising the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income are as follows:

|  **Total Vessel Revenues** | $**11847244** | $**9596953** |

---

The Company generates its revenues from time charters and pool arrangements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

The Company typically enters into time charters ranging from one month to twelve months, and, in isolated cases, for longer terms, depending on market conditions. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports visited, shipping routes and vessel speed, subject to the owner's protective restrictions set forth in the agreed charterparty's terms. Time charter agreements may have extension options that range over certain time periods, which are usually periods of months. The time charter party generally provides, among others, typical warranties regarding the speed and the performance of the vessel as well as owner protective restrictions such that the vessel is sent only to safe ports by the charterer, subject always to compliance with applicable sanction laws and war risks, and carry only lawful and non-hazardous cargo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.** **Vessel Revenues: (continued)** 

Vessels are also chartered under voyage charters, where a contract is made for the use of a vessel under which the Company is paid freight on the basis of transporting cargo from a loading port to a discharge port. Depending on charterparty terms, freight can be fully prepaid, or be paid upon reaching the discharging destination upon delivery of the cargo, at the discharging destination but before discharging, or during a ship's voyage.

Prior to the Robin Spin-Off, the Company employed its Handysize vessel in a pool. The main objective of pools is to enter into arrangements for the employment and operation of the pool vessels, so as to secure for the pool participants the highest commercially available earnings per vessel on the basis of pooling the revenue and expenses of the pool vessels and dividing it between the pool participants based on the terms of the pool agreement. The Company typically enters into pool arrangements for a minimum period of six months, subject to certain rights of suspension and/or early termination.

As of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2025, there were no 'Trade accounts receivable, net', related to voyage charters, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2025, there were no deferred assets and no deferred liabilities related to voyage charters, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.** **Segment Information:** 

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company established its LPG carrier operations through the acquisition of two LPG carrier vessels. With effect from the second quarter of 2024, the Company operated in two reportable segments: (i) the Handysize tanker segment and (ii) the LPG carrier segment, each on a continued operations basis. Following the Robin Spin-Off of the Handysize tanker vessel (Note 1) and the acquisition of the new MR (MR2 class) tanker vessel (Note 6 and 18(f)), the former Handysize segment was renamed "MR (Handysize/MR2)" to reflect both the updated fleet composition and strategic continuity of the segment.The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and the way the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reviews the operating results and allocates capital within the Company. The CODM assesses segment performance using key financial measures, including revenues, operating expenses, segment operating income and net income. These metrics help the CODM assess segment profitability, optimize fleet deployment, control costs and determine capital allocation. Based on these segment performance trends, the CODM makes resource allocation decisions such as adjusting chartering strategies, prioritizing fleet expansion or disposals, and optimizing cost efficiencies to enhance profitability and overall segment performance. Further, the transport of refined petroleum products (carried by MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker vessels) and liquefied petroleum gas (carried by LPG carriers) has different characteristics. In addition, the nature of trade, trading routes, charterers and cargo handling of liquefied petroleum gas and refined petroleum products differs.

The table below presents information about the Company's reportable segments comprising its continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment results are evaluated based on income from operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** **2025 Equity Investment Plan**: On September 26, 2025, as the
 Company had no remaining restricted shares available for awards under the Equity Incentive Plan (Note 12), the
 Company's Board of Directors adopted the new Toro Corp. Equity Incentive Plan ("2025 Equity Incentive Plan"), under which the Company's board of directors may make awards of cash or restricted shares, share options or other

 to) the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(j)** **Purchase of Series E Preferred Shares of Castor:** On September 29, 2025, the Company agreed to purchase 60,000 Series E Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares (the "Series E Preferred Shares") of Castor having a stated amount of $1,000 each for a total consideration of $60 million, in cash.

Unless otherwise specified herein or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company", "we", "our" and "us" or similar terms shall include Toro and its wholly owned subsidiaries. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Amounts relating to percentage variations in period-on-period comparisons shown in this section are derived from those unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. These forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control which could cause actual results, cash flows, financial positions, events or conditions to differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For a more complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please read the sections entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report"), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 15, 2025. For additional information relating to our management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations, please see our 2024 Annual Report. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the 2024 Annual Report.

Business Overview and Fleet Information

We are an independent, growth-oriented shipping company that was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands in July 2022 by Castor Maritime Inc. ("Castor") to serve as the holding company of Castor's former tanker owning subsidiaries and Elektra Shipping Co. (formerly owning the *M/T Wonder Arcturus*) in connection with the spin-off of Castor's tanker business into an independent, publicly traded company (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was completed on March 7, 2023, on which date we began to trade as an independent publicly listed company. For further information regarding the Spin-Off, refer to the 2024 Annual Report.

We acquire, own, charter and operate oceangoing tanker and LPG carrier vessels and provide worldwide seaborne transportation services for refined petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG").

As of October 1, 2025, we operated a fleet of four vessels that engages in the worldwide transportation of refined petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas and comprises (i) two MR (MR2 class) tankers, which transports refined petroleum products, and (ii) two LPG carriers of 5,000 cbm each, which transport LPG. Our fleet has an aggregate cargo carrying capacity of 0.1 million dwt and an average age of 9.0 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we operated a fleet of (i) one Handysize tanker, which transported refined petroleum products, and (ii) four LPG carrier vessels, which transported LPG. As a result of the different characteristics of the transport of refined petroleum products (carried by Handysize tanker vessels) and LPG (carried by LPG carriers), as well as differences in the nature of trade, trading routes, charterers and cargo handling of LPG and refined petroleum products, we have determined that during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we operated in two reportable segments: (i) the Handysize tanker segment and (ii) the LPG carrier segment. Following completion of the sale of the *M/T Wonder Sirius* on January 24, 2024, the Company no longer has any Aframax/LR2 vessels and the results of operations and cash flows of the Aframax/LR2 tanker segment, as well as their assets and liabilities, are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For information on our discontinued operations, see Note 3 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. On April 14, 2025, we completed the previously announced contribution of the subsidiaries then constituting our Handysize tanker segment to our then wholly owned subsidiary, Robin Energy Ltd. ("Robin"), in exchange for various issuances of stock by Robin and the distribution of all common shares of Robin on a pro rata basis to our common shareholders (such transactions collectively, the "Robin Spin-Off"). We retain an interest in Robin through our ownership of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Robin, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $50,000,000. Following the Robin Spin-Off and the acquisition of the new MR (MR2 class) tanker vessel in July 2025 (see Note 6 and 17(f) to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements), the former Handysize segment was renamed "MR (Handysize/MR2)" to reflect both the updated fleet composition and strategic continuity of the segment.

------

Our fleet is currently contracted to operate on time charters. Our commercial strategy primarily focuses on deploying our fleet under a mix of pools, voyage charters and time charters according to our assessment of market conditions. We adjust the mix of these charters to take advantage of the relatively stable cash flows and high utilization rates for our vessels associated with period time charters, to profit from attractive trip charter rates during periods of strong charter market conditions associated with voyage charters or to take advantage of high utilization rates for our vessels along with exposure to attractive charter rates during periods of strong charter market conditions when employing our vessels in pools.

With effect from July 1, 2022, and as of June 30, 2025, Castor Ships S.A. ("Castor Ships"), a related party, provides ship management and chartering services to the vessels through subcontracting agreements with unrelated third-party managers, except the *M/T Wonder Mimosa,* for which Castor Ships provided the technical management from June 7, 2023 until the Robin Spin-Off, on April 14, 2025.

The following table summarizes key information about our fleet as of October 1, 2025:

 option at a rate to be mutually agreed between us and the charterer. On January 22, 2025, it was agreed between us and the charterer that from March 22, 2025 until March 22, 2026 (plus or minus thirty days in charterer's option), the rate is
 increased to $354,500 per month, plus twelve months at the charterer's option (plus or minus thirty days in charterer's option). The rate for the optional period will be increased at a rate to be mutually agreed between us and the charterer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) On September 24, 2025, the vessel has been fixed under a new time charter period contract of twelve months (plus or minus forty days in charterer's option) at $20,600
 per day. The new time charter will commence upon expiration of the current time charter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) On September 19, 2025, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to acquire the *M/T Wonder Maia*, for a purchase price of $30.3 million. The vessel was delivered to us on September 29, 2025. On September 24, 2025, the Company paid deposit to the vessel's seller amounting to $3.0
 million, or 10% of the purchase price of the vessel, and the balance of $27.3 million is payable upon delivery of the vessel.

Operating Results

#### Principal factors impacting our business, results of operations and financial condition

Our results of operations are affected by numerous factors. The principal factors that have impacted the business during the fiscal periods presented in the following discussion and analysis and that are likely to continue to impact our business are the following:

<br> • The levels of demand and supply of seaborne cargoes and vessel tonnage in the shipping industries in which we operate;

<br> • The cyclical nature of the shipping industry in general and its impact on charter and freight rates and vessel values;

• The successful implementation of our business strategy, including the ability to obtain equity and debt financing at acceptable and attractive terms to fund future capital expenditures and/or to implement this business strategy and the size and composition of our fleet resulting from our vessel acquisitions and disposals;

<br> • The global economic growth outlook and trends;

• Economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect shipping and the tanker / LPG shipping industry, including international conflict or war (or threatened war), such as between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, and acts of piracy or maritime aggression, such as recent maritime incidents involving vessels in and around the Red Sea, sanctions, "trade wars" (including the imposition of tariffs) and potential requisitions of our vessels during a period of war or emergency;

<br> • The employment and operation of our fleet including the utilization rates of our vessels;

<br> • The ability to successfully employ our vessels at economically attractive rates and the strategic decisions regarding the employment mix of our fleet in the voyage, time charter and pool markets, as our charters expire or are otherwise terminated;

• Management of the operational, financial, general and administrative elements involved in the conduct of our business and ownership of our fleet, including the effective and efficient management of our fleet by our manager and its sub-managers, and each of their suppliers;

<br> • The number of charterers and pool operators who use our services and the performance of their obligations under their agreements, including their ability to make timely payments to us;

<br> • The ability to maintain solid working relationships with our existing charterers and pool operators and our ability to increase the number of our charterers through the development of new working relationships;

<br> • The vetting approvals requested by oil majors and the Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI) for the vessels managed by our manager and/or sub-managers;

<br> • Dry-docking and special survey costs and duration, both expected and unexpected;

<br> • Our borrowing levels and the finance costs related to our outstanding debt as well as our compliance with our debt covenants;

<br> • Management of our financial resources, including banking relationships and of the relationships with our various stakeholders;

<br> • Major outbreaks of diseases and governmental responses thereto; and

<br> • The level of any distribution on all classes of our shares.

<br> • The risks associated with Castor's business as a result of our investment in the Series D Preferred Shares of Castor and risks associated with Robin's business as a result of our investment in the Series A Preferred Shares of Robin.

These factors are volatile and in certain cases may not be within our control. Accordingly, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, and it is difficult to predict future performance with any degree of certainty. See also "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors" in our 2024 Annual Report.

------

#### Employment and operation of our fleet

A significant factor that impacts our profitability, in addition to the size and composition of our fleet, is the employment and operation of our fleet. The profitable employment of our fleet is highly dependent on the levels of demand and supply in the shipping segments in which we operate, our commercial strategy including the decisions regarding the employment mix of our fleet among time and voyage charters and pool arrangements, as well as our manager's and sub-manager's ability to leverage our relationships with existing or potential customers. As a new entrant to the tankers and LPG carriers' business, our customer base is currently concentrated to a small number of charterers and a single pool manager. The breadth of our customer base has historically had an impact on the profitability of our business and in the six months ended June 30, 2025, 22% of our revenues were earned on pool arrangements entered into with one pool manager and 78% of our revenues were earned on time charters entered into with three different charterers. Further, the effective operation of our fleet mainly requires regular maintenance and repair, effective crew selection and training, ongoing supply of our fleet with the spares and the stores that it requires, contingency response planning, auditing of our vessels' onboard safety procedures, arrangements for our vessels' insurance, chartering of the vessels, training of onboard and on shore personnel with respect to the vessels' security and security response plans (ISPS), obtaining of ISM certifications, compliance with environmental regulations and standards and performing the necessary audit for the vessels within the year of taking over a vessel and the ongoing performance monitoring of the vessels.

#### Financial, general and administrative management

The management of financial, general and administrative elements involved in the conduct of our business and ownership of our vessels requires us to manage our financial resources, which includes managing banking relationships, administrating our bank accounts, managing our accounting system, records and financial reporting, monitoring and ensuring compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements affecting our business and assets and managing our relationships with our service providers and customers.

#### Important Measures and Definitions for Analyzing Results of Operations

Our management uses the following metrics to evaluate our operating results, including our operating results at the segment level, and to allocate capital accordingly:

***Total vessel revenues.*** Total vessel revenues are generated from voyage charters, time charters and pool arrangements. Total vessel revenues are affected by the number of vessels in our fleet, hire and freight rates and the number of days a vessel operates which, in turn, are affected by several factors, including the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels, the amount of time that our vessels spend in dry-dock undergoing repairs, maintenance and upgrade work, the age, condition and specifications of our vessels, and levels of supply and demand in the seaborne transportation market. Total vessel revenues are also affected by our commercial strategy related to the employment mix of our fleet between vessels on time charters, vessels operating on voyage charters and vessels in pools.

We measure revenues in each segment for three separate activities: (i) time charter revenues, (ii) voyage charter revenues, and (iii) pool revenues.

***Voyage expenses.*** Our voyage expenses primarily consist of bunker expenses, port and canal expenses and brokerage commissions paid in connection with the chartering of our vessels. Voyage expenses are incurred primarily during voyage charters or when the vessel is repositioning or unemployed. Bunker expenses, port and canal dues increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are in this case borne by us. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all the vessel voyage related expenses. Under pooling arrangements, voyage expenses are borne by the pool operator. Gain/loss on bunkers may also arise where the cost of the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer is greater or less than the cost of the bunker fuel acquired.

------

***Operating expenses.*** We are responsible for vessel operating costs, which include crewing, expenses for repairs and maintenance, the cost of insurance, tonnage taxes, the cost of spares and consumable stores, lubricating oils costs, communication expenses and other expenses. Expenses for repairs and maintenance tend to fluctuate from period to period because most repairs and maintenance typically occur during periodic dry-docking. Our ability to control our vessels' operating expenses also affects our financial results. Daily vessel operating expenses are calculated by dividing fleet operating expenses by the Ownership Days for the relevant period.

***Management fees.*** Management fees include fees paid to related parties providing certain ship management services to our fleet pursuant to ship management agreements with Castor Ships.

***Off-hire.*** Off-hire is the period our fleet is unable to perform the services for which it is required under a charter for reasons such as scheduled repairs, vessel upgrades, dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys or other unforeseen events.

***Dry-docking/Special Surveys***. We periodically dry-dock and/or perform special surveys on our fleet for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. Our ability to control our dry-docking and special survey expenses and our ability to complete our scheduled dry-dockings and/or special surveys on time also affects our financial results. Dry-docking and special survey costs are accounted for under the deferral method whereby the actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next survey is scheduled to become due.

***Ownership Days.*** Ownership Days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which we owned a vessel. Ownership Days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and determine both the level of revenues and expenses recorded during that specific period.

***Available Days.*** Available Days are the Ownership Days in a period less the aggregate number of days our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs, dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys. The shipping industry uses Available Days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels are available to generate revenues. Our calculation of Available Days may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

***Operating Days.*** Operating Days are the Available Days in a period after subtracting unscheduled off-hire and idle days.

***Fleet Utilization.*** Fleet Utilization is calculated by dividing the Operating Days during a period by the number of Available Days during that period. Fleet Utilization is used to measure a company's ability to efficiently find suitable employment for its vessels and minimize the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons such as major repairs, vessel upgrades, dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys and other unforeseen events.

***Daily Time Charter Equivalent Rate ("Daily TCE Rate")*.** See Appendix A for a description of the Daily TCE Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Includes interest and finance costs, net of interest income, if any.

------

*Total Vessel Revenues*

Total vessel revenues, net of charterers' commissions, decreased to $9.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $11.8 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease of $2.2 million was mainly associated with the decrease in the Available Days of our fleet to 781 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 884 days in the corresponding period in 2024, as a result of the Robin Spin-Off on April 14, 2025 and the decrease in the prevailing charter rates of our Handysize vessels, partially offset by slightly increased hire rates of our LPG carrier vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our fleet earned on average a Daily TCE Rate of $11,485, compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $12,184 earned during the same period in 2024. Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A for the definition and reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

*Voyage Expenses*

Voyage expenses for our fleet decreased to $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.1 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease of $0.5 million was mainly associated with decreased bunkers consumption costs by $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease reflects that, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, one of our vessels was operated under a voyage charter, under which we incur bunker consumption, compared to the same period of 2025, when our vessels were operated under time charters and pool agreement,

*Vessel Operating Expenses*

Vessel operating expenses amounted to $4.6 million in both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, reflecting the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet to 827 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 910 days in the corresponding period in 2024 following the Robin Spin-Off, and offset by the slight increase in repairs and maintenance costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared in the same period in 2024.

*Management Fees*

Management fees amounted to $0.9 million in both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, reflecting (i) the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet, and offset by (ii) higher management fees, which increased from $1,039 per vessel per day to $1,071 per vessel per day effective July 1, 2024, as a result of adjustments for inflation in accordance with the terms of the master management agreement, between the Company, the Company's shipowning subsidiaries and Castor Ships, effective from July 1, 2022 (the "Master Management Agreement").

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation expenses for our fleet decreased to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.1 million in the same period in 2024 as a result of the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet. Dry-dock amortization charges increased to $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.2 million in the same period in 2024, mainly related to the amortization of LPG *Dream Terrax and LPG Dream Arrax*, which initiated and completed its scheduled dry-dock in the first and second quarters of 2025*.*

*General and Administrative Expenses*

General and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $4.0 million, whereas, in the same period in 2024, general and administrative expenses totaled $4.7 million. This decrease is mainly associated with the stock based compensation cost for non-vested shares granted under our Equity Incentive Plan amounting to $1.8 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

------

*Interest and finance costs, net*

Interest and finance costs, net, amounted to $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, whereas in the same period of 2024, interest and finance costs, net amounted to $4.1 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared with the same period of 2024, partially offset by the increase in interest income from related party during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared with the same period of 2024, due to the $100.0 million senior term loan facility to Castor entered into on December 11, 2024 and fully repaid on May 5, 2025.

*Net income from discontinued operations*

Net income from discontinued operations decreased by $19.6 million to $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $19.7 million in the same period in 2024. For further details regarding the amounts recorded in respect of discontinued operations in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, please refer to Note 3 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Total Vessel Revenues*

Total vessel revenues, net of charterers' commissions for our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker segment decreased to $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $4.0 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease of $2.0 million was driven by the decrease in the Available Days of our Handysize vessels in our fleet to 103 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 156 days in the corresponding period in 2024, as a result of the Robin Spin-Off on April 14, 2025 and the decrease in the prevailing charter rates of our Handysize vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our Handysize fleet earned on average a Daily TCE Rate of $17,496, compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $24,763 earned during the same period in 2024. Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A 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*

Voyage Expenses increased to $0.3 million for our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker segment in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.2 million compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of the increase by $0.1 million of port and other expenses.

*Vessel Operating Expenses*

The decrease in operating expenses for our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker segment by $0.4 million to $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.1 million in the corresponding period of 2024, mainly reflects the decrease of the Ownership Days of our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker fleet to 103 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 156 days in the corresponding period in 2024.

*Management Fees*

Management fees for our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker segment decreased to $0.14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.19 million in the same period in 2024, as a result of the decrease of the Ownership Days of our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker fleet, partially offset by the increased management fees following the inflation-based adjustments in management fees discussed in more detail under "*—Consolidated Results of Operations—Management Fees*".

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation expenses for our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker segment decreased to $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.3 million in the same period in 2024, as a result of the decrease in the Ownership Days of our MR (Handysize/MR2) tanker fleet. Dry-dock amortization charges increased to $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.2 million in the same period in 2024, related to the amortization of the *M/T Wonder Mimosa*, which initiated and completed its scheduled dry-dock and special survey in the second and third quarters of 2024*.*

*Total Vessel Revenues*

Total vessel revenues for our LPG carrier segment amounted to $7.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $7.8 million in the same period of 2024. This decrease of $0.3 million is mainly due to the decrease in the Available Days of our LPG carrier vessels in our fleet to 678 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 728 days in the corresponding period in 2024, due to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the *LPG Dream Arrax* and *LPG Dream Terrax* initiated and completed their scheduled dry-dock repairs. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our LPG Carrier fleet earned on average a Daily TCE Rate of $10,572, compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $9,488 earned during the same period in 2024. Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our LPG carriers were engaged in time charters.

*Voyage Expenses*

Voyage expenses for our LPG carrier segment amounted to $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the same period of 2024. This decrease of $0.5 million is mainly associated with a $0.6 million decrease in bunkers consumption costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

*Vessel Operating Expenses*

The increase in Vessel operating expenses for our LPG carrier segment by $0.5 million, to $3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $3.4 million in the same period in 2024, mainly reflects the increase in crew

and related costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared in the same period in 2024, mainly due to the increased crew changes in our fleet.

*Management Fees*

Management fees amounted to $0.8 million in both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation expenses for our LPG carrier segment amounted to $1.9 million in both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Dry-dock amortization charges in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $0.04 million, related to the amortization of the *LPG Dream Arrax* and *LPG Dream Terrax*, which initiated and completed their scheduled dry-dock and special survey in the first and second quarters of 2025. There were no dry-dock and special survey amortization charges in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources

We operate in a capital-intensive industry, and we expect to finance the purchase of additional vessels and other capital expenditures through a combination of cash from operations, borrowings from debt transactions, and proceeds from equity offerings, to the extent available and permitted. We may also receive cash from vessel sales, such as the two vessels we have agreed to sell in the third quarter of 2025. Our liquidity requirements relate to funding capital expenditures and working capital (which includes maintaining the quality of our vessels and complying with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations). In accordance with our business strategy, other liquidity needs may relate to funding potential investments in new vessels, financing new projects and maintaining cash reserves against fluctuations in operating cash flows. Our funding and treasury activities are intended to maximize investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity.

On December 11, 2024, Toro entered into a facility agreement with Castor to provide a $100.0 million senior term loan facility to Castor (the "Term Loan") (refer to Note 4 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements). During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Term Loan was fully repaid.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our principal sources of funds were cash from operations and from the full repayment to us of the Term Loan.

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $114.7 million and $37.2 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in U.S. dollars.

------

Working capital is equal to current assets minus current liabilities. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a working capital surplus of $115.9 million and $50.6 million, respectively.

We believe that our current sources of funds and those that we anticipate to internally generate for a period of at least the next twelve months from June 30, 2025, will be sufficient to fund the operations of our fleet and meet our normal working capital requirements for that period.

As of June 30, 2025, there was commitment relating to purchase agreement of a 2021-built MR tanker vessel, the *M/T Wonder Altair*, from an unaffiliated third party at a total purchase price of $36.25 million, amounting to $30.8 million, which represents 85% of its total purchase price, payable in cash upon delivery of the vessel. The vessel was delivered, and the $30.8 million balance of the purchase price was paid, in the third quarter of 2025.

Our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements relate to the funding of cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares, when declared, and expenditures relating to the operation and maintenance of our vessels. Sources of funding for our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements include cash flows from operations or new debt financing, if required.

#### Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. For more details on our Critical Accounting Estimates, please read "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—E. Critical Accounting Estimates" in our 2024 Annual Report. For a description of our significant accounting policies, please read Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, "Item 18. Financial Statements" in our 2024 Annual Report and more precisely "Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.

#### Risk Factors

The following should be read in conjunction with the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025.

The tanker industry is historically cyclical and seasonal, leading to volatility in charter rates, revenue, and earnings which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

The tanker industry is historically cyclical, leading to volatility in charter rates, revenues, and earnings. This cycle may be influenced by seasonality, geopolitical disruptions, longer voyage distances, and fluctuations in fleet size due to new deliveries, vessel demolitions, and conversions as evidenced by the clean products segment, which recorded a notable year-over-year earnings decline in the first half of 2025. Demand for tankers is closely tied to the crude oil and petroleum products markets, which are themselves cyclical and volatile. Tanker employment also depends on oil supply and demand dynamics and the balance between modern and older tonnage.

The limited activity in the Handysize/MR2 tanker newbuilding market during 2024 has continued in 2025, and, as result, the new contracting to active fleet ratio continues to remain at relatively low levels. The worldwide Handysize/MR2 tanker fleet grew by 1.7% during 2024 and growth until August, 2025, was 2.2%. The total orderbook of Handysize/MR2 tanker vessels as of the same date stood at 5% of the current fleet, with deliveries expected mainly during the next two years.

The factors affecting the supply of tanker vessel capacity are outside of our control and are unpredictable, and accordingly we may not be able to correctly assess the nature, timing and degree of changes in charter rates. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In particular, a significant decrease in tanker charter rates would cause our revenues and tanker asset values to decline.

#### APPENDIX A

#### Non-GAAP Financial Information

**Daily 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 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):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Purchased Shares and any Common Shares issued to the Investor upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares (together, the "<u>Investor's Shares</u>") may only be disposed of in compliance with state and Federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Investor's Shares other than (i) to the Company or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Investor, (iii) in connection with the grant by the Investor of a pledge as contemplated in Section 5.05(b), or (iv) in a sale pursuant to effective registration statement, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Investor's Shares under the Securities Act. Except in the case of a transfer pursuant to Clause (i) or Clause (iv) above or in an open market sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Investor under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Investor agrees to the placement, so long as is required by this Section 5.05, of a legend or book entry notation on or with respect to any of the Investor's Shares in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION THAT WAS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Investor's Shares to a financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Investor may transfer pledged or secured Investor's Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice to the Company shall be required of such pledge. At the Investor's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Investor's Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of such Investor's Shares, including, if such Investor's Shares are subject to registration pursuant to Article VII, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act, or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, to appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder.

No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any claim, clause of action, right or remedy hereunder.

SECTION 8.13. <u>Severability.</u>

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be deemed to be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforced in accordance with its terms to the maximum extent permitted by Law, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument. <sup>I</sup>n the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or ".pdf" signature page were an original thereof.
