MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (“Star Bulk”) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2025. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” shall include Star Bulk and its subsidiaries. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. For additional information relating to our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations, please see our Annual Report on Form 20‑F for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 19, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the 2024 Annual Report.

Overview

We are a global shipping company providing worldwide seaborne transportation solutions in the dry bulk sector. Our vessels transport major bulks, which include iron ore, coal and grain, and minor bulks which include bauxite, fertilizers and steel products. We were incorporated in the Marshall Islands on December 13, 2006 and, on December 3, 2007, we commenced operations when we took delivery of our first vessel. We maintain offices in Athens, New York, Connecticut (Stamford) and Singapore. Our common shares trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SBLK.”

Eagle Merger

On April 9, 2024, we completed the merger with Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (“Eagle”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Eagle Merger”), which resulted in the issuance of 28,082,319 shares of our common stock. In addition, at the time of the Eagle Merger’s completion, 1,341,584 shares of our common stock were issued in exchange for the 511,840 loaned shares of Eagle common stock (the “Eagle loaned shares”) outstanding in connection with Eagle’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”). Upon the maturity date of the Convertible Notes on August 1, 2024, the issued 1,341,584 shares of our common stock were cancelled upon return and 5,971,284 shares of our common stock were issued for settlement of such Convertible Notes.

Our Fleet

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, we agreed to sell the vessels Star Omicron, Strange Attractor, Bittern, Puffin Bulker, Oriole, Star Canary, Star Petrel, Star Georgia, Star Nighthawk, Star Runner, Star Danai, Star Goal, Star Sandpiper and Star Owl. All of these vessels were delivered to their new owners during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, except for the vessels Star Runner and Star Sandpiper, which were delivered in October 2025.

On October 31, 2025, we entered into three novation and amendment agreements with Hengli Shipbuilding (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and Hengli Shipbuilding (Dalian) Co. Ltd. for the acquisition of three 82,000 dwt Kamsarmax newbuilding vessels that are currently under construction. The three vessels are scheduled to be delivered within the three-month period ending September 30, 2026 as described in the table under section “Vessels Under Construction”.

On a fully delivered basis, taking into account the delivery of the eight Kamsarmax vessels under construction, as of November 14, 2025, our owned fleet consists of 145 vessels with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 14.4 million dwt, 97% of which are fitted with Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (“scrubbers”) consisting of Newcastlemax, Capesize, Mini Capesize, Post Panamax, Kamsarmax, Panamax, Ultramax and Supramax vessels.

Recognized as right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities as further described in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report.

(2)

Time charter-in agreement acquired as part of the Eagle Merger with a remaining duration of less than twelve months as of April 9, 2024. The Company subsequently exercised an extension option on the agreement; however, this agreement does not meet the criteria under ASC 842 to be recognized as a right-of-use asset.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of funds have been cash flow from operations, equity offerings, borrowings under secured credit facilities, debt securities or bareboat lease financings and proceeds from vessel sales. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our dry bulk carriers and comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements, make principal and interest payments on outstanding indebtedness, make dividend payments when approved by the Board of Directors and fund share repurchases when our share price is trading at a significant discount to the estimated net liquidation value of our vessels.

Our short-term liquidity requirements include paying operating costs, funding working capital requirements and the short-term equity portion of the cost of vessel acquisitions, if any, our newbuilding program and vessel upgrades, interest and principal payments on short-term outstanding indebtedness and maintaining cash reserves to strengthen our position against adverse fluctuations in operating cash flows. Our primary source of short-term liquidity is cash generated from operating activities, available cash balances and portions from new debt and refinancings as well as equity financings.

Our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements are funding the equity portion of our newbuilding vessel installments and secondhand vessel acquisitions, if any, funding required payments under our vessel financing and other financing agreements and paying cash dividends when declared and funding share repurchases, when our share price is trading at a significant discount to the estimated net liquidation value of our vessels. Sources of funding for our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements include cash flows from operations, new debt and refinancings or lease financings, equity issuances and vessel sales. Please also refer to Note 12 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for further discussion on our contractual commitments as of September 30, 2025.

As of November 14, 2025, we had an aggregate amount of total cash and highly liquid investments (as described in Note 13 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein) of $454.4 million and outstanding borrowings (including lease financing agreements) of $1,028.4 million.

Our debt agreements contain financial covenants and undertakings requiring us to maintain various ratios. A summary of these terms is included in Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein and Note 8 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report.

We believe that our current cash balance and our operating cash flows to be generated over the short-term period will be sufficient to meet our known short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. These requirements include funding the operations of our fleet, capital expenditure requirements, including our commitments for the installation of Energy Saving Devices (“ESD”), telemetry equipment and other upgrades on our vessels, as well as the remaining contractual commitments for the eight vessels under construction. Furthermore, in April 2025, we entered into an agreement with E.SUN Commercial Bank Ltd. for a loan facility of up to $130.0 million for the post-delivery financing of five of our vessels under construction. In addition, we have an aggregate amount of $115.0 million available for drawing under two revolving credit facilities entered into in May 2025 and June 2025 with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and National Bank of Greece S.A., respectively, as described in Note 8 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

We may seek additional indebtedness to finance future vessel acquisitions and our newbuilding program in order to maintain our cash position or to refinance our existing debt in more favorable terms. Our practice has been to fund the cash portion of the acquisition or construction cost of dry bulk carriers using a combination of funds from operations and bank debt or lease financing secured by mortgages or title of ownership on our dry bulk carriers held by the relevant lenders, respectively. We may also use the proceeds from potential equity or debt offerings to finance future vessel acquisitions. Our business is capital-intensive and its future success will depend on our ability to maintain a high-quality fleet through the acquisition and construction of newer dry bulk carriers and the selective sale of older dry bulk carriers. These acquisitions and newbuilding contracts will be principally subject to management’s expectation of future market conditions as well as our ability to acquire dry bulk carriers on favorable terms. However, our ability to obtain bank or lease financing, to refinance our existing debt or to access the capital markets for offerings in the future may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing or offering, including the market value of our fleet, as well as by adverse market conditions resulting from, among other things, general economic conditions, prevailing interest rates, weakness in the financial and equity markets and contingencies and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Our liquidity is also impacted by our dividend policy, as discussed below.

Dividend Policy

Our dividend policy is described in Item 8. Financial Information-A. Consolidated statements and other financial information—Dividend Policy of our 2024 Annual Report.

On May 14, 2025, our Board of Directors decided to amend our previously approved dividend policy. Under the amended dividend policy, Star Bulk will pay a minimum quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share even if the quarterly “Cash Flow” (as defined in the dividend policy) would result in less or no dividend. The policy otherwise remains unchanged, including with respect to the Cash Flow definition and the limitations set out below.

On November 18, 2025, pursuant to our amended dividend policy, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on or about December 18, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of December 5, 2025.

Since Star Bulk is a holding company with no material assets other than the shares of its subsidiaries through which it conducts its operations, Star Bulk’s ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on its subsidiaries’ ability to distribute funds to it. Any future dividends declared will be at the discretion and remain subject to approval of our Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial condition and other factors, including but not limited to our earnings, the prevailing charter market conditions, capital requirements, limitations under our debt agreements and applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law, which generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from operating surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent upon the payment of such dividend. Star Bulk’s dividend policy and declaration and payment of dividends may be changed at any time and are subject to available funds and our Board of Directors’ determination that each declaration and payment is at the time in the best interests of Star Bulk and its shareholders after its review of our financial performance. There can be no assurance that our Board of Directors will continue to declare or pay any dividend in the future.

Operating Results

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We deploy our vessels on a mix of short to medium time charters or voyage charters, contracts of affreightment or in dry bulk carrier pools, according to our assessment of market conditions. We adjust the mix of these charters to take advantage of the relatively stable cash flow and high utilization rates associated with medium to long-term time charters, or to profit from attractive spot charter rates during periods of strong charter market conditions, or to maintain employment flexibility that the spot market offers during periods of weak charter market conditions. The following table reflects certain operating data of our fleet, including our ownership days and TCE rates, which we believe are important measures for analyzing trends in our results of operations, for the periods indicated:

	Nine-month period ended September 30,
(TCE rates expressed in U.S. Dollars)	2024		2025
Average number of vessels (1)		141.3		146.5
Number of vessels (2)		154		139
Average age of operational fleet (in years) (3)		11.9		12.5
Ownership days (4)		38,708		40,006
Available days (5)		37,210		37,893
Charter-in days (6)		1,793		2,928
Time Charter Equivalent Rate (TCE rate) (7)	$	19,209	$	14,190

____________________

(1)	Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our owned fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each operating vessel was a part of our owned fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.

(2)	As of the last day of each period reported.

(3)	Average age of our operational fleet is calculated as of the end of each period.

(4)	Ownership days are the total calendar days each vessel in the fleet was owned by us for the relevant period, including vessels subject to sale and leaseback transactions and finance leases.

(5)

Available days for the fleet are the Ownership days after subtracting off-hire days for major repairs, dry docking or special or intermediate surveys, change of management and vessels’ improvements and upgrades. Our method of computing Available Days may not necessarily be comparable to Available Days of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

(6)	Charter-in days are the total days that we charter-in third party vessels.

(7)

Time charter equivalent (“TCE”) rate represents the weighted average daily TCE rates of our operating fleet (including owned fleet and charter-in vessels). TCE rate is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our operating fleet. Our method of calculating TCE rate is determined by dividing (a) TCE revenues (“TCE Revenues”), which consists of voyage revenues (net of voyage expenses, charter-in hire expense, amortization of fair value of above/below market acquired time charter agreements, if any, as well as adjusted for the impact of realized gain/(loss) on forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and bunker swaps) by (b) Available days for the relevant time period. Available days do not include the Charter-in days as per the relevant definitions provided above. In the calculation of TCE Revenues, we also include the realized gain/(loss) on FFAs and bunker swaps as we believe that this method better reflects the chartering result of our fleet and is more comparable to the method used by some of our peers. TCE Revenues and TCE rate, which are non-GAAP measures, provide additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because they assist our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage charters, time charters, bareboat charters and pool arrangements) under which its vessels may be employed between the periods. TCE Revenues and TCE rate, as presented below, may not necessarily be comparable to those of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

The following table reflects the calculation of our TCE rates as discussed in footnote (7) above. The table presents reconciliation of TCE Revenues to voyage revenues as reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

	Nine-month period ended September 30,
	2024			2025
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise stated)

Available days		37,210			37,893
Daily time charter equivalent rate (“TCE rate”)	$	19,209		$	14,190

Voyage Revenues

Voyage revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in our operating fleet, the duration of our charters, the number of charter-in days, the amount of daily charter hire or freight rates that our vessels earn under time and voyage charters, respectively, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including our decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals, the number of vessels chartered-in, the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels, the amount of time that our vessels spend in dry dock undergoing repairs, maintenance and upgrade work, the age, condition and specifications of our vessels and levels of supply and demand in the seaborne transportation market.

Vessels operating on time charters for a certain period of time provide more predictable cash flows over that period of time, but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot charter market during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot charter market generate revenues that are less predictable, but may enable us to capture increased profit margins during periods of improvements in charter rates, although we would be exposed to the risk of declining vessel rates, which may have a materially adverse impact on our financial performance. If we employ vessels on period time charters, future spot market rates may be higher or lower than the rates at which we have employed our vessels on period time charters.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses may include port and canal charges, agency fees, fuel (bunker) expenses and brokerage commissions payable to related and third parties. Bunker expenses, port and canal charges primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are paid by the owners (whereas these expenses would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract).

Charter-in Hire Expenses

Charter-in hire expenses represent hire expenses for chartering-in third party vessels, either under time charters or voyage charters.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance and vessel registry, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, regulatory fees, maintenance expenses, lubricants and other miscellaneous expenses. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including for instance, developments relating to market prices for crew wages, lubricants and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

Dry Docking Expenses

Dry docking expenses relate to regularly scheduled intermediate survey or special survey dry docking necessary to preserve the quality of our vessels as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Dry docking expenses can vary according to the size, age and general condition of the vessel, the location where the dry docking takes place, shipyard availability and the number of days the vessel is under dry dock. We utilize the direct expense method, under which we expense all dry docking costs as incurred.

Depreciation

We depreciate our vessels on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is determined to be 25 years from the date of their initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation is calculated based on a vessel’s cost less the estimated residual value. We estimate the salvage value of each vessel to be $400 per light weight ton.

Management Fees

Management fees include fees paid to third parties as well as related parties providing certain procurement services to our fleet.

General and Administrative Expenses

We incur general and administrative expenses, including our onshore personnel related expenses, directors’ and executives’ compensation, share based compensation, legal, consulting, audit and accounting expenses.

Other Operational Loss and Other Operational Gain

Other operational loss and other operational gain includes loss and gain, respectively, from all other operating activities which are not related to the principal activities of the Company, such as from insurance claims.

(Gain)/Loss on Forward Freight Agreements and Bunker Swaps, net

When deemed appropriate from a risk management perspective, we take positions in freight derivatives, including FFAs and freight options with an objective to utilize those instruments as economic hedges to reduce the risk on specific vessels trading in the spot market and to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the market prices. Upon the settlement, if the contracted charter rate is less than the average of the rates for the specified route and time period, as reported by an identified index, the seller of the FFA is required to pay the buyer the settlement sum. The settlement amount is an amount equal to the difference between the contracted rate and the settlement rate, multiplied by the number of days in the specified period covered by the FFA. Conversely, if the contracted rate is greater than the settlement rate, the buyer is required to pay the seller the settlement sum. Our FFAs are settled mainly through reputable exchanges such as European Energy Exchange (“EEX”) or Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) so as to limit our exposure in over-the-counter transactions. Customary requirements for trading in FFAs include the maintenance of initial and variation margins based on expected volatility, open position and mark to market of the contracts. The fair value of the FFAs or freight options is treated as an asset or liability until they are settled with the change in their fair value being reflected in earnings. Any such settlements by us or settlements to us under FFAs or freight options, if any, are recorded under (Gain)/Loss on forward freight agreements and bunker swaps, net.

Also, when deemed appropriate from a risk management perspective, we enter into bunker swap contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations of bunker prices associated with the consumption of bunkers by our vessels. Bunker swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows at a fixed price on bunkers, where volume, time period and price are agreed in advance. Our bunker swaps are settled mainly through reputable exchanges such as Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) so as to limit our counterparty exposure in over-the-counter transactions. Bunker price differentials paid or received under the swap agreements as well as changes in their fair value are recognized under (Gain)/Loss on forward freight agreements and bunker swaps, net.

The fair value of freight derivatives and bunker swaps is determined through Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (quoted prices from the applicable exchanges such as EEX, SGX or ICE). Our FFAs and bunker swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting and therefore unrealized gains or losses are recognized under (Gain)/Loss on forward freight agreements and bunker swaps, net.

(Gain)/Loss on Sale of Vessels

(Gain)/Loss on sale of vessels represents net (gains)/losses from the sale of our vessels concluded during the period.

Interest and Finance Costs

We incur interest expense and financing costs in connection with our outstanding indebtedness under our existing loan facilities (including sale and leaseback financing transactions). We also incur financing costs in connection with establishing those facilities, which are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the relevant debt liability, and amortize them to interest and financing costs over the term of the underlying obligation using the effective interest method.

Interest Income and Other Income/(Loss)

We earn interest income on our cash deposits with our lenders and other financial institutions. Other income/(loss) mainly consists of gains/(losses) from realized and unrealized foreign exchange differences.

Gain/(Loss) on Derivative Financial Instruments, net

We may enter into interest rate swap transactions to manage interest costs and risks associated with changing interest rates with respect to our variable interest loans and credit facilities. Interest rate swaps are recorded in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, measured at their fair value (Level 2), with changes in such fair value recognized in earnings under Gain/(Loss) on derivative financial instruments, net, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. When interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gains/losses from those swaps is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) while any ineffective portion is recorded under Gain/(loss) on derivative financial instruments, net.

Results of Operations

The nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024

Voyage revenues net of Voyage expenses: For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 voyage revenues were $741.9 million and $956.5 million, respectively, while voyage expenses totaled $158.9 million and $199.9 million, respectively. TCE Revenues (as defined above) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 decreased to $537.7 million compared to $714.8 million for the corresponding period in 2024. The decrease in both Voyage revenues and TCE Revenues, despite the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet to 146.5 from 141.3 during the relevant periods, was primarily attributable to the significant decline in charter rates. As a result, the TCE rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 decreased to $14,190 from $19,209 for the corresponding period in 2024. Please refer to the table above for the calculation of the TCE Revenues and TCE rate and their reconciliation with Voyage Revenues, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Charter-in hire expenses: Charter-in hire expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $48.6 million and $31.8 million, respectively. This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in charter-in days to 2,928 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 from 1,793 in the corresponding period in 2024.

Vessel operating expenses: For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, vessel operating expenses were $203.7 million and $202.2 million, respectively. The increase in our operating expenses was primarily attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet to 146.5 from 141.3 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to corresponding period in 2024.

Dry docking expenses: Dry docking expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $73.8 million and $42.5 million, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, 39 vessels completed their periodic dry-docking surveys, compared to 29 during the corresponding period in 2024. In addition, the dry docking of nine of our vessels was in progress as of September 30, 2025, further contributing to the overall increase of dry docking expenses.

Depreciation: Depreciation expense increased to $127.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to $120.0 million for the corresponding period in 2024. The increase is driven by the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet to 146.5 from 141.3 during the relevant periods.

General and administrative expenses and Management fees: General and administrative expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $53.2 million and $51.8 million, respectively, which included the share-based compensation expense of $13.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively. Vessel management fees for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 increased to $17.4 million compared to $13.7 million for the corresponding period in 2024. The increase in both general and administrative expenses and management fees is mainly attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet, as described above.

(Gain)/Loss on forward freight agreements and bunker swaps, net: For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, we incurred a net gain on FFAs and bunker swaps of $4.2 million, consisting of a realized gain of $3.3 million and unrealized gain of $0.9 million. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss on FFAs and bunker swaps of $4.2 million, consisting of realized loss of $10.0 million and an unrealized gain of $5.8 million.

Other operational gain: Other operational gain for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, amounted to $14.7 million, mainly consisting of $2.3 million insurance proceeds pursuant to war risk insurance policy in connection with the prolonged detainment of one of our vessels in Ukraine in 2022, $9.2 million related to the write-off of previously recorded accruals and liabilities that the Company no longer expects to require settlement and $3.2 million derived from various insurance claims. Other operational gain for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $4.4 million and primarily derived from various insurance claims.

(Gain)/Loss on sale of vessels: Our results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, include an aggregate net loss of $14.0 million which resulted from the sale of vessels during the period, as discussed under the section “Our Fleet” above. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, a net gain of $32.0 million resulted from the completion of the sale of certain vessels.

Interest and finance costs net of interest income and other income/(loss): Interest and finance costs net of interest income and other income/(loss) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $41.4 million and $56.1 million, respectively. The driving factor for this decrease was the significant decrease in our weighted average outstanding indebtedness, along with a lower weighted average interest rate in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, which was partially offset by the decrease in swap interest income since during the second and third quarter of 2025 we had no interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $194.8 million and $394.9 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by increased expenses resulting from the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet to 146.5 from 141.3 and increased drydocking activity during the recent period, partially offset by lower interest and finance costs during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024, as well as lower TCE Revenues recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 due to lower charter rates resulting from weaker market conditions prevailing compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $127.0 million and $313.6 million, respectively. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower proceeds from vessel sales by $112.0 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024 and to $104.3 million of cash acquired in connection with the Eagle Merger during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by $21.9 million less cash paid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, for advances for vessels under construction and vessel upgrades, as well as by a $8.7 million increase in hull and machinery insurance proceeds received during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $305.5 million and $497.7 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a $61.2 million decrease in net debt outflows and a $184.4 decrease in the aggregate amount of dividends paid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of 2024, partially offset by an increased outflow of $56.2 million used for share repurchases during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of 2024.

September 30, 2025

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:

Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (“Star Bulk”) is a global shipping company providing worldwide seaborne transportation solutions in the dry bulk sector. Star Bulk was incorporated in the Marshall Islands on December 13, 2006 and maintains offices in Athens, New York, Connecticut (Stamford) and Singapore. Star Bulk’s common shares trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “SBLK”.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Star Bulk and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but, pursuant to the requirements for interim financial information, does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the 2024 Annual Report.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company owned a modern fleet of 139 dry bulk vessels (two of which were previously agreed to be sold, and were subsequently delivered to their new owners in October 2025, as discussed in Note 5) consisting of Newcastlemax, Capesize, Mini Capesize, Post Panamax, Kamsarmax, Panamax, Ultramax and Supramax vessels with a carrying capacity between 55,569 deadweight tonnage (“dwt”) and 209,537 dwt, and a combined carrying capacity of 13.9 million dwt and an average age of 12.5 years. Also, the Company has entered into firm shipbuilding contracts for the construction of five 82,000 dwt Kamsarmax newbuilding vessels with expected deliveries between March 2026 and October 2026. In addition, through certain of its subsidiaries, the Company charters-in a number of third-party vessels on a short-term basis and, as of September 30, 2025, charters-in eight vessels on a long-term basis to increase its operating capacity in order to satisfy its clients’ needs.

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information - continued:

Eagle Merger

On April 9, 2024 (the “Effective Time”), the Company completed the merger with Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (“Eagle”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Eagle Merger”), following Eagle shareholders’ approval and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Eagle common stock has ceased trading and is no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

At the Effective Time, each share of Eagle common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive 2.6211 shares of Star Bulk common stock, which resulted in the issuance of 28,082,319 shares of Star Bulk common stock. In addition, at the time of the Eagle Merger’s completion, 1,341,584 shares of Star Bulk common stock were issued in exchange for the 511,840 loaned shares of Eagle common stock (the “Eagle loaned shares”) outstanding in connection with Eagle’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”). Upon the maturity date of the Convertible Notes on August 1, 2024, the issued 1,341,584 shares of Star Bulk common stock were cancelled upon return and 5,971,284 shares of Star Bulk common stock were issued for settlement of such Convertible Notes.

The results of operations of Eagle have been reflected in the Company’s consolidated income statement since the Effective Time. As a result, financial information of Eagle since April 9, 2024 is included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as if the Eagle Merger had been consummated on January 1, 2023. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the Eagle Merger actually taken place on January 1, 2023. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from the combined operations:

2. Significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements:

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, except for the accounting policy described below, there were no other significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements issued that the Company expects to have a potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

In accordance with ASC 320, Investments—Debt Securities, debt securities that the Company does not intend to hold to maturity and that are not classified as trading are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”). AFS securities are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and realized gains and losses reclassified in earnings when the securities are sold, mature, or are deemed impaired.

The Company evaluates its AFS debt securities for credit losses at least quarterly. The Company holds bonds issued by Attica Bank. As of September 30, 2025, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded on the AFS debt security, consistent with the Company’s assessment that the security is investment-grade and shows no indication of credit impairment. Interest income is accrued using the effective interest method and reported under Interest income and other income/(loss).

AFS securities are presented in the balance sheet as either current or non-current assets based on management’s intended use. AFS securities are classified as current assets when management intends to use the portfolio to fund current operations, regardless of whether disposal is planned within the next 12 months. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets.

3. Transactions with related parties:

Details of the Company’s transactions with related parties did not change in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 and are discussed in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report.

10. Earnings per Share:

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2025. The calculation of basic earnings per share does not consider the non-vested shares as outstanding until the time-based vesting restriction has lapsed. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to stock awards and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method, unless the impact is anti-dilutive.

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share as follows:

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2024		2025
Income :
Net income	$	262,208	$	19,020


Basic earnings per share:

11. Equity Incentive Plans:

Details of the Company’s equity incentive plans and share awards granted through December 31, 2024 are discussed in Note 11 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report.

In May 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) and reserved for issuance 1,245,000 common shares thereunder. On May 7, 2025, all of the 1,245,000 restricted common shares were granted to certain directors, officers and employees, of which 717,450 restricted common shares vest in November 2025, 403,947 restricted common shares vest in May 2026 and the remaining 123,603 common shares vest in May 2028. The fair value of each share was $14.96 based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.

The share-based compensation cost for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, which is included under “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated income statements, amounted to $13,271 and $13,681, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted shares as of September 30, 2025 and the movement during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 is presented below.

b) Legal proceedings

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure.

The Company is involved in non-material legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Generally, we expect that such claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles.

Certain routine non-material commercial claims have been asserted against the Company, or by the Company against charterers, that relate to contractual disputes with certain of our charterers. The nature of these disputes involves disagreements over losses claimed by charterers, or by the Company, during or as a result of the performance of certain charters, including, but not limited to, delays in the performance of the charters and off-hire during the charters. The related legal proceedings are at various stages of resolution.

As part of the Eagle Merger, the Company acquired a subsidiary involved in a legal case concerning environmental compliance. As previously disclosed, that subsidiary has now pleaded guilty to one count alleging failure to maintain an accurate oil record book on board a vessel in violation of The Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships (“APPS”), accepted to enter into the relevant plea agreement (the “Agreement”), pay a fine of $1,750 (for which the Company had already posted a surety bond as security for any potential fines) and serve a four-year term of probation during which eight of the Company’s vessels will be required to adhere to a monitored environmental compliance plan. On October 16, 2025 the U.S. District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Louisiana accepted the guilty plea, approved the Agreement, imposed the agreed upon sentence and placed the subsidiary on a 4-year term of probation with standard and customary conditions of probation. The Company does not believe that this matter will have a material impact on the Company, its financial condition, or results of operations.

Currently, other than as disclosed above, management is not aware of, and has not accrued for, any such claims or contingent liabilities requiring disclosure in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company accrues for a contingent liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company evaluates its outstanding legal proceedings to assess its contingent liabilities and adjusts such liabilities, as appropriate, based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company’s contingent liabilities will not need to be adjusted in the future.

Fair value on a recurring basis:

Interest rate swaps

Details of the Company’s interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 18 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report.

Until March 31, 2025, all of the Company’s interest rate swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the unrealized gains/losses was recorded in “Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)”. On April 1, 2025, all of these were de-designated from cash flow hedges since they no longer met the hedging relationship criteria, and the gain from the de-designated interest rate swaps along with the interest received, which amounted to $751, is separately reflected under “Gain/(Loss) on derivative financial instruments, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated income statement for the corresponding period.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no interest rate swaps in place.

In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, in connection with the prepayment of the then existing ING Facility and SEB $39,000 Facility (Note 8), the Company early terminated the two related interest rate swap agreements and recorded a gain of $771, which is included under “Gain/(Loss) on debt extinguishment, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated income statement for the corresponding period.
