Second Quarter 2026 Results:
- Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026, amounted to $87.1 million, an increase of $50.8 million or 139.9%, compared to revenues of $36.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a 6.9 vessel increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet, along with an increase in both tanker and drybulk rates driven by geopolitical tensions, mostly affecting the tanker vessels, and favorable market dynamics in the drybulk market.
- Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $22.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively, compared to $10.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $11.4 million increase in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to increased bunker costs by mainly due to an increase in spot days by 58.4% and increased bunkers’ prices. The $6.0 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses is primarily due to the increase of our fleet by an average of 6.9 vessels.
- Drydocking costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $7.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, six vessels underwent drydocking whereas during the three months ended June 30, 2025, one suezmax tanker and one supramax drybulk carrier underwent drydocking.
- General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $1.1 million in each period.
- Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, was $8.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The change is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
- Management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The change is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
- Interest and finance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The $0.4 million of costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 related mainly to accrued interest expense – related party in connection with the $19.2 million and $12.3 million portions of the acquisition price of our bulk carriers, Post Marvel and Eco Crossfire, respectively, which were completely settled in the third quarter of 2026. The $0.8 million of costs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 related mainly to accrued interest expense – related party in connection with our last nine vessel acquisitions, for which the purchase agreements allowed vessel repayment to take place within up to one year from the agreement date. For accounting purposes, the outstanding balances payable on the vessels were required to be allocated between principal and imputed interest, despite the fact that no interest was contractually charged by the sellers. The total amount ultimately paid remains consistent with the originally agreed purchase prices.
- Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $2.1 million as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $0.2 million decrease is mainly attributed to a period on period decline in time deposit rates and amounts placed in time deposits.
- Foreign exchange (loss)/gain for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was a loss of $0.6 million as compared to a gain of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $0.6 million foreign exchange loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is mainly attributed to the weakening of the Euro currency against the Dollar at the end of the three months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the respective currency values prevailing at the end of March 2026.
- As a result of the above, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $34.8 million, compared to net income of $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $0.75 and $0.70, respectively, compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $0.36 and $0.35, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
- Adjusted net income1 was $35.3 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS1, basic of $0.76 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to an Adjusted net income of $13.4 million, or an Adjusted EPS, basic, of $0.38 for the same period of last year.
- EBITDA1 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $41.2 million, while Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $41.7 million.

- Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were $34.9 million and $25.6 million, respectively, compared to $21.2 million and $15.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $13.7 million increase in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to an increase in spot days by 40.3%. The $10.1 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses is primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet by 7.4 vessels.
- Drydocking costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $9.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

- General and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. This decrease is mainly attributed to the decrease in stock-based compensation costs.
- Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $16.1 million, a $5.4 million increase from $10.7 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels.

Our exceptional second quarter and first half of 2026 demonstrate the power of our commercial strategy and disciplined execution. By securing record revenues of $87.1 million for Q2 26’, expanding our fleet toward a 25-vessel target while remaining debt free, we have driven net income for the first six months to a remarkable $62.8 million, already surpassing our profitability for the entirety of 2025. Backed by a solid balance sheet and with cash to date in the order of approximately $260 million and a fleet value anticipated to increase with our upcoming vessel additions, we are well equipped to navigate shifting geopolitical landscapes. Imperial Petroleum is in a prime position to produce strong results, while holding a flawless balance sheet and a track record of creating value through the Company’s growth and strategic asset management.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS
:
Adjusted net income represents net income before 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 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. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance.
