Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 - General Information and Recent Events

Organization and General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “Pangaea” “we” or “our”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, chartering and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda as an exempted company on April 29, 2014.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company's owned fleet consisted ofthree Panamax, two Ultramax Ice Class 1C, two Ultramax, nine Supramax, four Post-Panamax Ice Class 1A drybulk vessels and fourteen Handysize vessels. In addition, the Company owns two-thirds of its consolidated subsidiary Nordic Bulk Holding Company Ltd. (“NBHC”) which owns a fleet ofsix Panamax Ice Class 1A drybulk vessels.

The Company also holds a 50% equity interest in the owner of a deck barge and operates port and terminal facilities in Florida, Maryland, and Texas. On July 31, 2025, the Company purchased the remaining 49% equity interest in Seamar Management S.A. for $2.7 million in cash, increasing the Company’s ownership to 100%. Because the Company controlled Seamar before and after the transaction, the purchase of the non-controlling interest was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 810; no gain or loss was recognized in earnings and no step-up of Seamar’s assets or liabilities was recorded. The difference between the cash consideration and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest at the acquisition date was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete condense financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the percentage completion of voyages in process, the establishment of the allowance for credit losses, the estimate of salvage value used in determining vessel depreciation expense, and the evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases

Time charter in contracts

The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months.

Time charter out contracts

Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

At September 30, 2025, the Company hadseven vessels chartered to customers under time charters that contained a lease. These seven leases varied in original length from 34 days to 195 days. The total lease payments due under these arrangements were approximately $6,522,000, all of which is expected to be received within the next 183 days days. The Company expects to recognize this revenue as follows:

PeriodExpected Revenue
Remaining 2025$4,750,115
20261,772,250
Total$6,522,365

All time charters are scheduled to be completed within 183 days, and no lease payments extend beyond March 2026.

At September 30, 2024, the Company hadfour vessels chartered to customers under time charters that included a lease. These four leases varied in original length from 35 days to 123 days. The lease payments due under these arrangements were approximately $1,302,000, all of which was received within the 35 days following September 30, 2024.

The Company does not have any vessels chartered in (operating leases) for longer than one year and the practical expedient relating to leases with terms of 12 months or less was elected.

The Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

The Company hasfive non-cancelable office leases and non-cancelable office equipment leases and the lease assets and liabilities are not material.

Revenue Recognition

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, which are recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch.

During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire.

In a stevedore service contract, the Company is paid to provide cargo handling services on a per unit basis for a specified quantity of cargo. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a rate per unit of cargo handled. The contract may contain minimum quantities. Revenues from stevedore service contracts are earned and recognized on a per unit basis as completed over the performance period.

The Company’s contracts with customers, including voyage charters and stevedoring service contracts, generally have original expected durations of one year or less. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14, the Company has elected not to disclose the amount of remaining performance obligations for these contracts. As of September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations that are required to be disclosed.

Deferred Revenue

All deferred revenue recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The vessel is presented separately on the balance sheet under “Vessel held for sale.” On October 18, 2025, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement to sell the M/V Bulk Freedom for $9.6 million. The estimated gain on sale is approximately $2.8 million, and delivery to the buyer is expected during the fourth quarter of 2025. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for additional details.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from the related long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.

The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 that would require impairment testing.

Note 7 -Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Forward freight agreements

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and, when appropriate, hedges identified economic risk with appropriate derivative instruments, specifically forward freight agreements (FFAs). These economic hedges do not usually qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Fuel swap contracts

The Company continuously monitors the market volatility associated with bunker prices and seeks to reduce the risk of such volatility through a bunker hedging program. The Company enters into fuel swap contracts that are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Interest rate cap

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s forward freight agreements and fuel swap contracts are based on market prices obtained from an independent third-party valuation specialist based on published indices. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. The interest rate caps contracts are valued using analysis obtained from independent third party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs, representing Level 2 assets.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

(1) The fair value measurements were all categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) These fair value measurements were all categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in order of priority are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 fair value measurements include cash, money-market accounts and restricted cash accounts.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

Note 10 –Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

On May 8, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $15.0 million of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 5.6% of its market capitalization as of that date. Repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions or privately negotiated purchases, depending on market conditions, capital needs, and other strategic considerations. The program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 403,400 shares of its common stock at an average price of $4.93 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $2.0 million. The shares were acquired in open market transactions and retired immediately upon settlement. The repurchase was funded with available cash on hand.

The repurchase and retirement of shares resulted in a reduction to the Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital (APIC) accounts, with the excess purchase price over par value allocated to APIC. The impact of the repurchase is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the cash outflow is reported in financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $13.0 million remained available under the repurchase program.

Dividends Paid

Total cash dividends paid were approximately $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
