Management Commentary for Second Quarter 2025: Mr. Petros Panagiotidis, Chief Executive Officer of Castor, commented: “Amid ongoing market headwinds in the dry bulk sector during the second quarter of 2025, we advanced our fleet renewal strategy through the sale of older vessels, further enhancing efficiency and overall quality. While near-term market conditions remain challenging, we are confident in the sector’s long -term fundamentals and in our ability to capture future opportunities. Backed by a solid balance sheet, the strength and strategic flexibility of our business model, reinforces our belief that disciplined capital deployment and portfolio renewal can deliver value.” Earnings Commentary: Second Quarter ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, Results Total vessel revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased to $10.2 million from $16.3 million in the same period of 2024. This variation was mainly driven by (i) the decrease in our Available Days (defined below), from 1,076 days in the thr ee months ended June 30, 2024 to 825 days in the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a 23.3% decrease, following the sale of one dry bulk vessel and one container vessel in the second quarter of 2025, as partially offset by the acquisitions of t he M/V Magic Celeste on August 16, 2024, M/V Raphaela on October 3, 2024 and M/V Magic Ariel on October 9, 2024, and (ii) the decrease in prevailing charter rates of our dry bulk vessels. Revenue from services for the three months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $7.8 million and relates to revenue earned from our subsidiary acquired in late 2024, MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (“MPC Capital”). Revenue from services is generated through the following streams: (i) transaction services, (ii) management services for companies and assets, and (iii) ship management services.

3 There was a decrease in voyage expenses to $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.0 million in the same period of 2024, which was mainly associated with the decrease in brokerage commissions to third parties mainly due to the decreas e of the revenue of our fleet, partially offset by increased port and other expenses, brokerage commissions to related party and the loss on bunkers. Vessel operating expenses decreased by $1.9 million to $4.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $6.5 million in the same period of 2024, mainly reflecting the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet to 883 days in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 1,076 days in the same period in 2024. Cost of revenue from services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $5.8 million and relates to expenses for purchased services from third party providers and employee expenses from our subsidiary, MPC Capital. Management fees in the three months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $1.0 million, whereas in the same period of 2024, management fees totaled $1.1 million. This decrease in management fees is due to the net decrease in the total number of Ownership Days for which our managers charge us a daily management fee following the sales and acquisitions of vessels mentioned above, partly offset by a management fee adjustment for inflation under our Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement with effect from Ju ly 1, 2024. Depreciation and amortization expenses are comprised of vessels’ depreciation, the amortization of vessels’ capitalized dry-dock costs, property and equipment depreciation and intangible assets amortization. Depreciation expenses decreased to $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $3.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease by $0.8 million reflects mainly the net decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet following the sales and acquisitions of vessels discussed above. Dry -dock and special survey amortization charges amounted to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a charge of $0.4 million in the respective period of 2024. This variation in dry -dock amortization charges primarily resulted from the decrease in aggregate amortization days, mainly as a result of the sale of vessels mentioned above as partially offset by the amortization related to the vessels M/V Magic Starlight and M/V Magic Ariel, which initiated and completed their scheduled dry- dock during the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Further to the above, depreciation and amortization expenses for our asset management segment amounted to $0.5 million for the three -month period ended June 30, 2025, comprising property and equipment depreciation and intangible asset s amortization. General and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $5.4 million, whereas, in the same period of 2024, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.5 million. This increase mainly reflects the increase in professional fees and other expenses, audit fees and personnel expenses following the acquisition of MPC Capital. Net gain/(loss) on sale of vessels in the three months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $0.1 million following the sales of the: (i) M/V Gabriela A on May 7, 2025 and (ii) M/V Magic Callisto on April 28, 2025. Gain on sale of vessels in the three months ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $11.4 million following the sales of the: (i) M/V Magic Nebula on April 18, 2024, (ii) M/V Magic Venus on May 10, 2024, (iii) M/V Magic Vela on May 23, 2024, and (iv) M/V Magic Horizon on May 28, 2024. Net gain on disposal of assets in the three months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $0.4 million following the sale of an asset management contract. Net loss from equity method investments in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $0.1 million and $0, respectively, representing our share in jointly owned companies or equity method investments (all of which relate to the asset management segment).

4 Net gain from equity method investments measured at fair value in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $1.6 million and $0, respectively, resulting from the revaluation of such investments. These represent our share in MPC Container S hips ASA (“MPCC”) and MPC Energy Solutions N.V for which we have elected the fair value option. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred net interest and finance costs of $0.9 million, compared to $0.1 million during the same period in 2024. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned from our time and cash deposits, which resulted from lower average cash balances during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Other income in the three months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $2.9 million and mainly includes (i) a gain of $3.2 million from our investments in listed equity securities, (ii) dividend income on equity securities of $1.4 million, (iii) dividend income of $0.4 million from our investment in 140,000 1.00% Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares of Toro (the “Toro Series A Preferred Shares”), (iv) foreign exchange losses amounting to $4.1 million, and (v) other net amounting to $2.0 million due to recoveries of prior year allowances and reversals of provisions. Dividend income from equity method investments measured at fair value (related party) amounted to $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and includes the dividend income from MPCC. Other income, net in the three months ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $7.4 million, which includes (i) a gain of $5.1 million from our investments in listed equity securities, (ii) dividend income on equity securities of $2.0 million, and (iii) dividend income of $0.4 million from our investment in the Toro Series A Preferred Shares. Recent Financial Developments Commentary: Liquidity/Financing/Cash flow update Our consolidated cash position as of June 30, 2025, decreased by $43.1 million to $44.8 million, as compared to our cash position on December 31, 2024, which amounted to $87.9 million. The decrease was mainly the result of: (i) $4.0 million of net operatin g cash outflows during the six months ended June 30, 2025, (ii) net outflows of $20.0 million associated with the sale and purchase of equity method investments, (iii) $101.1 million used for scheduled principal repayments, early prepayments in connection with the sale of vessels and voluntary prepayments, mainly to the term loan from Toro, on our debt, (iv) $2.1 million of dividends paid relating to our 5.00% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares, (v) $2.8 million for cash dividends paid to non-controlling interests, as offset by (vi) $61.9 million inflow of net proceeds from the sales of the M/V Ariana A, M/V Magic Eclipse , M/V Magic Callisto and M/V Gabriela A, (vii) $1.6 million proceeds related to a loan facility, and (viii) net inflows of $20.7 million associated with the purchase and sale of equity securities. As of June 30, 2025, our total debt, gross of unamortized deferred loan fees, was $5.3 million, of which $1.2 million is repayable within one year, as compared to $103.7 million of gross total debt as of December 31, 2024, a decrease mainly due to the prepayments made in connection with vessel dispositions and voluntary prepayments of our long term debt. More specifically, on March 24, 2025 and March 31, 2025, Castor made partial prepayments to Toro for its term loan amounting to $13,500,000 and $34,000,000, respectively, in addition to $2,500,000 as part of the scheduled repayment of the loan. On April 29, 2025 we prepaid $14,000,000 of the term loan from Toro, and on May 5, 2025, we prepaid the amount of $36,000,000 that remained outstanding as of that date. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining debt balance of $5.3 million pertained to our asset management segment.

14 APPENDIX B Non-GAAP Financial Information Daily Time Charter (“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 (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 c harterers’ 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. Under voyage charters, the majority of voyage expenses are generally borne by us whereas for ve ssels 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 R ate provides meaningful information to our investors since it compares daily net earnings generated by our vessels irrespective of the mix of charter types (i.e., time charter, voyage charter, or other) 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. Net proceeds from sale of vessels 61,939,798 107,876,357 Return of invested capital from equity method investments 4,137,792 — Net proceeds from dispositions of long term assets 357,048 — Net cash provided by Investing Activities: 62,598,078 137,235,681 Cash flows used in Financing Activities: Repurchase of warrants — (1,058,481) Dividends paid on Series D Preferred Shares (2,097,222) (1,250,000) Repayment of long-term debt (including related party) (101,057,645) (43,383,257) Proceeds from long-term debt 1,577,002 — Payment of deferred financing costs (110,000) — Cash dividends paid to noncontrolling interests (2,848,198) — Net cash used in Financing Activities: (104,536,063) (45,691,738) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 3,206,933 — Net (decrease) / increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (42,707,338) 115,392,064 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning of the period 88,616,996 120,901,147 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the period $ 45,909,658 $ 236,293,211

15 The following table reconciles the calculation of the Daily TCE Rate which is applicable only for our dry bulk and containership fleet to Total vessel revenues (applicable only to dry bulk and containership segments) for the periods presented (amounts in U.S. dollars, except for Available Days): EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as earnings b efore interest and finance costs (if any), net of interest income, taxes (when incurred), depreciation and amortization of deferred dry -docking costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude unrealized gain/loss on equity securities and equit y method investments (including those measured at fair value) and non -recurring expenses, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements to assess our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assists our management by providing useful information that increases the comparability of our operating performance f rom period to period and against the operating performance of other companies in our industry that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest, other financial items, depreciation and amortization and taxes for EBITDA, and further excluding unrealized gains/loss on securities and non -recurring expenses for Adjusted EBITDA, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength. Our basis of computing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may be different from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

16 The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net (loss)/ income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented: (1) Includes interest and finance costs and interest income, if any . Adjusted Net Income. To derive Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) from Net Income/(Loss), we exclude certain non - cash items, as provided in the table below. We believe that Adjusted Net Income assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash item as unrealized losses from investments measured at fair value and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall oper ating performance. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In U.S. dollars) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income / (loss), net of taxes $ 6,338,275 $ 22,853,611 $ (17,008,587) $ 45,185,357 Depreciation and amortization 3,203,742 3,532,023 6,653,155 7,387,855 Interest and finance costs, net (1) 897,260 120,172 2,184,674 677,840 Income taxes 307,724 31,320 602,133 94,609 EBITDA $ 10,747,001 $ 26,537,126 $ (7,568,625) $ 53,345,661 Unrealized gain on equity securities (7,220,462) (1,309,422) (7,511,809) (11,237,677) Net loss / (gain) from equity method investments 128,005 — (441,493) — Unrealized (gains) / losses from equity method investments measured at fair value (1,552,422) — 24,814,649 — Unrealized foreign exchange losses / (gains) from equity method investments 4,264,301 — 1,084,348 — (Gain) / Loss on vessels held for sale — — 5,554,777 — Share-based compensation 61,291 — 115,044 — Non-cash compensation (transfer of shares) — — 272,780 — Adjusted EBITDA $ 6,427,714 $ 25,227,704 $ 16,319,671 $ 42,107,984
