Fourth Quarter 2025 Results:
- Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $51.1 million, an increase of $24.9 million, or 95.0%, compared to revenues of $26.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase of our fleet by an average of 8.0 vessels along with the strengthening of spot market rates for suezmax tankers.
- Voyage expenses and vessels' operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $16.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively, compared to $8.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $8.1 million increase in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to increased port expenses due to higher number of transits through the Suez Canal and increased bunkers consumption, primarily resulting from ballast voyages of the newly acquired dry bulk carriers. The $4.6 million increase in vessels' operating expenses is primarily due to the increased size of our fleet by an average of 8.0 vessels.
- Drydocking costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were nil and $0.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no vessel underwent drydocking whereas in the three months ended December 31, 2024 charges related to a drydocking which took place at the end of the third quarter of 2024.
- General and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. This increase is mainly attributed to the increase in stock-based compensation costs.
- Depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively. This increase is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
- Management fees for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. This increase is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
- Interest and finance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.004 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The $0.3 million of costs for the three months ended December 31, 2024 relate mainly to the accrued interest expense - related party, in connection with the $14.0 million, part of the acquisition price of our bulk carrier, Neptulus, which was fully repaid in May 2025.
- Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $1.3 million as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $1.0 million decrease is mainly attributed to a lower amount of funds placed under time deposits along with a decrease in time deposit rates.
- Foreign exchange loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $0.2 million as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $3.1 million decrease is mainly attributed to movements in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate during the quarters. Specifically, the euro appreciated slightly between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, compared to a depreciation during the same period in 2024. Moreover, the Company held lower euro-denominated amounts of funds compared to the prior period.
- As a result of the above, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $15.0 million, compared to net income of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, basic, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was 38.1 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $0.37 and $0.35, respectively, compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $0.10 and $0.10, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
- Adjusted net income1 was $15.8 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS1, basic, of $0.39 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to an Adjusted net income of $4.6 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic, of $0.12 for the same period of last year.
- EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $21.3 million, while Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $22.1 million.
- An average of 19.0 vessels were owned by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 11.0 vessels for the same period of 2024.
Twelve months 2025 Results:
- Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $161.0 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 9.2%, compared to revenues of $147.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels following the expansion of our drybulk fleet.
- Voyage expenses and vessels' operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $49.4 million and $37.7 million, respectively, compared to $52.0 million and $26.4 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $2.6 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to a decrease in spot days by 24.1% as a result of a rise in time charter activity. The $11.3 million increase in vessels' operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
- Drydocking costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.7 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, one suezmax tanker and one supramax drybulk carrier underwent drydocking while in the same period of last year two tanker vessels underwent drydocking.
- General and administrative costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $4.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. This change is mainly attributed to the decrease in stock-based compensation costs.
- Depreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $25.9 million, a $8.9 million increase from $17.0 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels.
- Other operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $0.9 million and related to the accrued income of an insurance claim in connection with dry-docking repairs undertaken in prior years, that is expected to be collected within 2025. Other operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $1.9 million and related to the collection of an insurance claim in connection with repairs undertaken in prior years.
- Interest and finance costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The $2.3 million of costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 relate mainly to accrued interest expense - related party in connection with our last nine vessel acquisitions for which purchase agreement allowed vessels for repayment to take place within one year from purchase agreement. For accounting purposes, the outstanding balances payable on these nine vessels had to be allocated between principal and imputed interest up until vessel repayment, although no interest was contractually charged by the sellers. The final balances repaid in full within the twelve months of 2025, remained the same as the originally agreed purchase prices. The $0.4 million of costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 relate mainly to the accrued interest expense - related party, in connection with the $14.0 million, part of the acquisition price of our bulk carrier, Neptulus, which was fully repaid in May 2025.
- Interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributed to the $1.6 million of accrued interest income - related party for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the $38.7 million of the sale price of the Aframax tanker Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana). The balance was collected in July 2024, thus the balance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was nil.
- Foreign exchange (loss)/gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was a gain of $4.4 million as compared to a loss of $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $4.4 million foreign exchange gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, is mainly attributed to favourable exchange rate movements, reflecting an appreciation of the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, compared to a depreciation during the same period in 2024.
- As a result of the above, the Company reported net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 of $50.0 million, compared to a net income of $50.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was 34.5 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $1.35 and $1.29, respectively compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $1.54 and $1.40, respectively.
- Adjusted Net Income was $53.2 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic of $1.44 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to adjusted net income of $55.1 million, or $1.70 Adjusted EPS, basic, for the same period of last year.
- EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $71.0 million while Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $74.2 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below.
- An average of 16.0 vessels were owned by the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 10.4 vessels for the same period of 2024.
- As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents including time deposits amounted to $179.1 million and total debt amounted to nil.

CEO Harry Vafias Commented
With Net Income generation of $50 million - 2025 was yet another profitable year for Imperial Petroleum. Markets for both tanker and drybulk carriers were firm particularly in the second half of 2025 thus assisting our performance which was also leveraged by our dynamic fleet expansion. Within 2026 we will take delivery of another six vessels hence we will enjoy a fleet on the water of 26 high quality ships without any bank debt. We delivered our commitment for a fast fleet expansion while having today cash of about $198 million.
Our key concern is the geopolitical tension in the Middle East which we deem as critical and has caused global concerns. It remains to be seen for how long the shipping market, especially the tanker segment, will be affected and to what extent and of course we hope that the duration of this unfortunate geopolitical turn will be as brief as possible.

3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
5) Total charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time or bareboat charters for the relevant period.
6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on spot market charters for the relevant period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:
Adjusted net income represents net income before net loss on sale of vessel and share based compensation. EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, net loss on sale of vessel and share based compensation.
Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of shares. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon which we and our investors assess our financial performance. They allow us to present our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding our operating performance.
