Third quarter financial results.  Eurodry Ltd. reported an adjusted third-quarter net loss to controlling shareholders of $3.9 million or ($1.42) per share compared to an adjusted net loss of $675 thousand or ($0.24) per share during the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $474 thousand compared to $3.1 million during the prior year period. The year-over-year decline was driven by a heavier-than-expected dry-docking quarter, a decline in charter rates due to a weakening Chinese economy and the reopening of trade routes.

Updating 2024 and 2025 estimates. We have lowered our 2024 adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share estimates to $14.7 million and $(2.46), respectively, from $23.0 million and ($0.85). Similarly, we have lowered our 2025 adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share to $30.8 million and $3.28, respectively, from $37.3 million and $5.65. Our revisions are primarily the result of a weak market outlook and corresponding rates.
