Rubico Inc (NASDAQ: RUBI) announced a shift from semi-annual to quarterly reporting of its financial results, effective with the third quarter of 2026.

The shipping transportation services provider expects to release its unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026, during the fourth quarter of 2026. This change aligns the company’s disclosure frequency with many listed peers and reflects a commitment to enhanced transparency with the investment community.

Reporting Structure

Each quarterly earnings release will include:

  • Unaudited condensed statement of operations for the relevant quarterly and year-to-date periods
  • Balance sheet as of the end of the relevant period
  • Summarized statement of cash flows for the relevant quarterly and year-to-date periods
  • Selected operating data and operational updates

The quarterly releases will not include accompanying notes to the financial statements. As a foreign private issuer, Rubico will continue to furnish unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements with accompanying notes on a semi-annual basis to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Audited annual consolidated financial statements will be filed with the annual report on Form 20-F.

Fleet Expansion Plans

Rubico currently owns two modern, fuel-efficient, eco 157,000 dwt Suezmax tankers. The company has significant newbuilding orders in progress:

Vessel Type Specifications Delivery Timeline Status
MR Tanker 47,499 dwt Q3 and Q4 2029 Newbuildings owned
MR Tanker 47,499 dwt Q2 2029 Acquisition pending
Megayacht 60-meter Q2 2027 Intended for divestment

The company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire a shipowning company that owns one high-specification 47,499 dwt MR tanker newbuilding scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2029. The closing of this agreement is expected by September 30, 2026.
