Toro Corp. reported its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and the full year. Fourth‑quarter revenue rose to $6.108 million from $5.229 million a year earlier, while net income climbed to $1.6 million. For the year, revenue totaled $21.08 million and net income was $5.9 million, a decline of 76.6% from $25.2 million in 2024.
The company’s average daily TCE rate for the quarter was $15,635, reflecting higher contractual hire rates for its LPG carrier and MR tanker vessels. Operating expenses increased modestly, but EBITDA from continuing operations reached $2.2 million in Q4, up from $0.2 million in Q4 2024, and $6.0 million for the year, up from $1.9 million in 2024.
Toro’s management highlighted that the Q4 performance was driven by stronger charter rates in its core product tanker segment, while the full‑year decline was largely attributable to the spin‑off of its Handysize tanker segment, repayment of a $100 million term loan, and the sale of older vessels. The company remains debt‑free and holds $87.4 million in cash, providing a solid foundation for future fleet expansion.
The results underscore the company’s strategic shift toward newer product tankers, which has improved operating leverage and allowed the firm to capture higher rates. However, the sharp drop in full‑year earnings signals that the transition is still in progress and that the company must continue to manage costs while expanding its newer fleet.
Investors welcomed the Q4 earnings beat, with analysts noting the company’s ability to maintain positive EBITDA margins amid a challenging market. The strong quarterly performance, combined with the company’s debt‑free balance sheet, reinforced confidence in Toro’s execution of its fleet transition strategy.
