NEWPORT, RI - August 10, 2026 - Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. (“Pangaea” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PANL), a global provider of comprehensive maritime logistics solutions, announced today its results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

•GAAP net income attributable to Pangaea of $10.2 million, or $0.16 per share
•Adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea of $16.9 million, or $0.26 per share
•Adjusted EBITDA of $35.0 million

•Ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of 2.1x
•Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Pangaea reported non-GAAP adjusted net income of $16.9 million, or $0.26 net income per share, on total revenue of $187.1 million. Second quarter TCE rates increased 50% on a year-over-year basis, while total shipping days, which include both voyage and time charter days, decreased 8% to 5,735 days primarily due the sale of two owned vessels in the fleet compared to the prior-year period.

The TCE earned was $18,153 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an average of $12,108 per day for the same period in 2025. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s average TCE rate exceeded the benchmark average Baltic Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize indices by 10%, supported by Pangaea’s long-term contracts of affreightment ("COAs"), specialized fleet, and cargo-focused strategy.

Total Adjusted EBITDA increased by 125.1% to $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to the prior-year period. Total Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.7% during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 9.8% during the prior year period.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $105.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Total debt, including finance lease obligations was $352.4 million. During the three months ending June 30, 2026, the Company made payments of $4.3 million on long-term debt, $7.0 million on financing obligations, and $0.3 million on finance lease liabilities. The Company also paid $3.2 million in dividends.

The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable on September 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 1, 2026.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Our strong execution, fleet positioning and favorable market conditions combined to generate robust year-over-year growth on both our top and bottom line in the second quarter,” stated Mads Boye Petersen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. “Our performance reflects our focus on the positioning of our fleet to enable us to capitalize on back haul opportunities and expand our presence in the Pacific market. While shipping days were down compared to the prior year period, we generated an increase in TCE rates of 50% year-over-year and outperformed market rates by 10%. In our Atlantic markets, we increased our exposure to shorter-term time charters and executed well with our chartered-in business by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities and efficiently trade our owned vessels, which further enhanced our second quarter financial results.”

“Demand for dry bulk shipping has been strong through the first half of the year,” Petersen noted. “Chinese iron ore imports and the transport of grains from the Atlantic to Asia have been key factors underpinning market fundamentals thus far in 2026. These favorable dynamics have continued into the third quarter, and quarter-to-date we have executed 4,873 shipping days at an average TCE of $20,258 per day, as we enter our premium summer ice class season."

"Our strong second quarter profitability drove increased cash flow during the second quarter, which enhanced our liquidity position. Our financial flexibility enables us to take a balanced, returns-focused approach to capital,” continued Petersen. “We continue to prioritize sustainable returns of capital and selective organic growth investments, all with the objective of enhancing long-term shareholder value. During the quarter, we advanced our port expansion strategy with the start-up of operations at Port Tampa Bay, Florida.”

“Looking ahead, we are focused on maintaining commercial discipline, efficient execution across our platform and continuing to grow our integrated logistics capabilities,” concluded Petersen. “With a dynamic operating model, a strong liquidity position and a


clear capital allocation strategy, we believe Pangaea is well positioned to navigate changing market conditions while continuing to create value for shareholders."

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Pangaea remains committed to developing a leading dry bulk logistics and transportation services company of scale, providing its customers with specialized shipping and supply chain and logistics offerings in commodity and niche markets that drive premium returns measured in time charter equivalent per day.

Growing our combined shipping and logistics model. Pangaea continues to grow its integrated shipping and logistics model to deliver increased value across the dry bulk supply chain. In addition to operating a specialized fleet of dry bulk vessels, the Company provides stevedoring services and maintains port and terminal operations capabilities that complement its core shipping platform. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company continued to advance its organic growth strategy by scaling its port and terminal operations with the start-up of new operations at Port Tampa Bay, Florida. This investment is designed to expand the Company’s logistics activities, strengthen customer relationships and support long-term growth through a broader service offering.

Continue to drive strong fleet utilization. Pangaea delivered strong fleet utilization during the second quarter, supported by strategic fleet positioning to capitalize on back haul opportunities as well as on a favorable demand environment in the Pacific. The Company’s owned fleet of 38 vessels operated at high efficiency, supplemented by an average of 26 chartered-in vessels to fulfill cargo and COA commitments. Following the successful integration of the recently acquired handy-size fleet, Pangaea remains focused on optimizing utilization across its expanded platform and enhancing flexibility to meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Continue to upgrade fleet, while divesting older, non-core assets. Pangaea continues to execute its disciplined fleet renewal strategy, selectively investing in modern assets to support TCE performance, comply with evolving regulatory standards and meet customer cargo requirements. In February 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the 2006-built Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million, a transaction that was completed in the second quarter of 2026. These actions reflect Pangaea’s continued commitment to maintaining a modern, efficient fleet and divesting older, non-core assets.

INFORMATION ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release discusses non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. This is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use non-GAAP financial measures for internal financial and operational decision making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core business. Our management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our core business by excluding charges that are not incurred in the normal course of business. Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal planning and comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance and operational results of our core business.

Adjusted gross profit. Adjusted gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit excluding transportation and service depreciation and amortization. Management believes this measure provides investors with additional insight into the operating performance of the Company’s shipping, terminal and stevedoring operations by excluding non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses associated with vessels and terminal and stevedoring assets. Adjusted gross profit is not a measure recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to gross profit, operating income or net income. The Company’s definition of adjusted gross profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, adjusted for interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and, when applicable, certain items that management does not consider indicative of core operating performance, including vessel impairment charges, share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains or losses on vessel sale or sale and leaseback transactions, and other non-operating or non-recurring items.

Earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share represents net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd., adjusted when applicable for items such as vessel impairment charges, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains or losses on vessel sale or sale and leaseback transactions, and certain non-recurring items, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.

The table above provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
