Summary of First Quarter 2025 and Other Recent Significant Events
- Below is a summary of the average daily Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") revenue (see Non-IFRS Measures section below) and duration of contracted voyages and time charters for the Company's vessels (both in the pools and outside of the pools) thus far in the second quarter of 2025 as of the date hereof (See footnotes to "Other operating data" table below for the definition of daily TCE revenue):
| Pool and Spot Market | Time Charters Out of the Pool | ||||||||||
| Average Daily TCE Revenue | Expected Revenue Days (1) | % of Days | Average Daily TCE Revenue | Expected Revenue Days (1) | % of Days | ||||||
| LR2 | $ | 34,000 | 2,480 | 49 | % | $ | 31,500 | 880 | 100 | % | |
| MR | $ | 21,000 | 3,570 | 41 | % | $ | 22,500 | 540 | 100 | % | |
| Handymax | $ | 23,000 | 1,179 | 33 | % | $ | 23,500 | 77 | 100 | % | |
(1) Expected Revenue Days are the total number of calendar days in the quarter for each vessel, less the total number of estimated off-hire days during the period associated with repairs or drydockings. Consequently, Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in revenue days. The Company uses revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.
- Below is a summary of the average daily TCE revenue earned by the Company's vessels during the first quarter of 2025:
| Average Daily TCE Revenue | |||||
| Vessel class | Pool / Spot | Time Charters | |||

| MR | $ | 20,529 | $ | 23,011 | |
| Handymax | $ | 18,240 | N/A | ||
- In April 2025, the Company entered into a time charter-out agreement on a Handymax product tanker (STI Battersea) for a term of two years at an average rate of
$24,000 per day. - Since January 1, 2025, the charterers of three LR2s currently on long-term time charter-out agreements (STI Gratitude, STI Gladiator, and STI Guide) exercised the options to extend the terms of their charters, each for an additional year at

$50.0 million under its 2023$225.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility (formerly, the "2023$225.0 Million Credit Facility"), which had been amended to become a revolving credit facility during 2024. This payment represents the 11 remaining quarterly installment payments due under this facility, with the exception of the balloon payment due at maturity.

The 2025$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is a100% revolving loan, which has a final maturity of seven years from the signing date and gives the Company the flexibility to draw down or repay the loan during the loan tenor. The 2025$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of1.85% per annum for any drawn amounts and a commitment fee of0.74% per annum applies for any undrawn amounts. The 2025$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by 26 product tankers and will amortize/reduce in quarterly installments (starting after the second anniversary of the signing date), with a balloon payment due at maturity. - In January 2025, the Company successfully placed
$200.0 million of new senior unsecured bonds in the Nordic bond market (the “Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030”). The Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 are due to mature in January 2030 and bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of7.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. - Since January 1, 2025, the Company purchased an additional 4,295,218 common shares in DHT Holdings Inc.

Explanation of Variances on the First Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2024
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded net income of
- TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024:
| For the three months ended March 31, | |||||||||
| In thousands of U.S. dollars | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Vessel revenue | $ | 213,984 | $ | 391,336 | |||||
| Voyage expenses | (9,784 | ) | (1,575 | ) | |||||
| TCE revenue | $ | 204,200 | $ | 389,761 | |||||
- TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by
$185.6 million to$204.2 million , from$389.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Overall, the average daily TCE revenue decreased to$23,971 per vessel during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from$39,660 per vessel during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The average number of vessels was 99.0 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 110.9 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 declined as compared to the same period in the previous year. During the first quarter of 2024, market conditions were favorable as underlying consumption was growing and export volumes were robust. This market environment was exacerbated by the conditions in the Southern Red Sea, whereby drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels in that region by groups believed to be affiliated with the Yemen-based Houthi rebel group forced the re-routing of much of the global shipping fleet around the Cape of Good Hope. These extraordinary conditions increased ton-mile demand and resulted in record high average daily spot TCE rates on the Company’s LR2 vessels (which are the primary vessel class making these longer-haul voyages) during the first quarter of 2024, with the remainder of the Company’s fleet benefiting from a spill-over effect.
Though Red Sea transits remained muted over the course of 2024, supply chains for refined petroleum products recalibrated, and the ton-mile expansion caused by these conditions contracted to normalized levels during the second half of 2024 and into the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, refinery maintenance occurred earlier than in previous years, peaking in February and March 2025, leading to lower refined petroleum product exports. Nevertheless, while daily spot TCE rates were not at the extraordinary levels seen at this time last year, they were sustained at cyclically strong levels throughout the quarter, supported by robust and growing underlying demand for refined petroleum products.
- Vessel operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by
$7.5 million to$70.6 million , from$78.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in vessel operating costs was primarily driven by a decrease in the average number of vessels due to the sales of 11 MRs and one LR2 product tanker throughout 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average daily vessel operating costs to$7,924 per vessel for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from$7,743 per vessel for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher costs for repairs and maintenance and spare parts, particularly for LR2s. - Voyage expenses increased by
$8.2 million , from$1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to$9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to (i) an increased number of vessels temporarily trading in the spot market as these vessels were repositioned due to drydocks and (ii) an increase of$4.5 million related to the acquisition of EU allowances ("EUAs") to meet European Emissions Trading System ("EU ETS") requirements, for which the cost was passed along to customers in full and recognized as part of revenue. - Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by
$3.2 million to$44.7 million , from$47.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the average number of owned vessels to 99.0 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 110.9 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting from the sales of 11 MRs and one LR2 product tanker throughout 2024 offset in part by depreciation resulting from the 48 completed drydocks during 2024. - General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by
$1.6 million to$28.5 million , from$30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in cash compensation costs. Non-cash restricted stock amortization increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year resulting primarily from grants made in the second quarter of 2024. - Financial expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by
$17.4 million to$19.6 million , from$37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to the overall reduction in interest expense on debt and sale leaseback arrangements due to the Company's deleveraging efforts. Average indebtedness was$1.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to$1.5 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally:- The Company recorded a
$0.3 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and write-offs of deferred financing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to$3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. - Amortization of deferred financing fees was
$1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to$3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
- The Company recorded a
- Dividend income and fair value gain on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net includes
$1.9 million of dividends received from the Company's investment in DHT and a fair value gain of$9.4 million in the value of this investment as of March 31, 2025.

| (2) | Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period. Revenue days are the number of days vessels are part of the fleet less the number of days vessels are off-hire for drydock and repairs. |
| (3) | Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days during the period. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to vessels that are owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to vessels that are owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, not time chartered-in vessels. |

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information
This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that the presentation of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.
TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances on the First Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2024". The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would," "could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies in response to epidemics and other public health concerns including any effect on demand for petroleum products and the transportation thereof, expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks relating to the integration of assets or operations of entities that it has or may in the future acquire and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions may not be realized within expected timeframes or at all, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company’s vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, including the impact of the conflict in Ukraine and the developments in the Middle East, including the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires, and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the SEC for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties.
