First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $985,022, compared to $602,378 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $382,644, or 63.6%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gross revenue from crew management services resulting from nine new crew management contracts executed during the quarter with a single shipping client, with billing commencing in the first quarter of 2026.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $599,891, compared to $443,157 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $156,734, or 35.4%. Gross margin was 60.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 73.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cost of revenue increased to $385,131 from $159,221, reflecting higher direct service costs associated with expanded crew management activity.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $448,669 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $400,882 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $47,787, or 11.9%. The increase was driven primarily by higher professional fees and salary costs, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. The increase also reflects investment in technology infrastructure and platform development.

Operational Update
As of May 20, 2026, the Company manages more than 3,000 seafarers representing 10 nationalities across seven vessel classes, serving approximately 50 clients. Since January 2026, more than 25 additional vessels have been delivered and four new ship manager clients have been secured. The Company is engaged in ongoing discussions with additional prospective clients in the tanker and bulk carrier segments, although no assurance can be given that any such discussions will result in definitive agreements.
Management currently expects that certain planned staff retirements will take effect beginning in the third quarter of 2026, which the Company anticipates will reduce operating costs and improve operating efficiency. There can be no assurance that these anticipated retirements will occur on the expected timeline or produce the anticipated cost savings.
