Key Terms

6 terms
bunkering servicestechnical
"a Malaysia and Singapore based services provider engaged in integrated bunkering services, which involves ship-to-ship transfer of marine fuels"
Bunkering services provide fuel and related supplies to ships while they are in port or at sea, much like a gas station services cars but on a much larger scale. For investors, bunkering affects shipping operating costs, route economics and supply-chain reliability—changes in fuel price, availability or regulation can directly alter ship profitability, port revenues and companies exposed to maritime transportation.
ship-to-ship transfertechnical
"engaged in integrated bunkering services, which involves ship-to-ship transfer of marine fuels"
A ship-to-ship transfer is the moving of cargo—often crude oil, refined fuels, liquefied gas or bulk goods—directly between two vessels while at sea instead of using a port terminal. Think of it like transferring freight from one truck to another on the road to bypass a busy depot; for investors it matters because these transfers affect supply timing and costs, carry safety and insurance risks, and can raise regulatory or sanctions concerns that impact a company’s operations and valuation.
cost-plus pricing modelfinancial
"drop in average global oil prices, which directly impacted selling prices under the Company's cost-plus pricing model"
A cost-plus pricing model sets a product or service price by taking the seller’s actual cost and adding a fixed amount or percentage as profit, like a baker charging ingredient and oven costs plus a set margin. Investors care because it makes revenue and profit margins more predictable when costs are stable, but it can expose buyers and sellers to swings if input costs change or if competitive pricing pressures reduce the agreed markup.
memorandum of agreementregulatory
"announced a two-year extension of its Memorandum of Agreement with Malaysian bioenergy leader Double Corporate Sdn Bhd"
A memorandum of agreement is a written document that outlines the key terms and understanding between two or more parties planning to work together or make a deal. It serves as a clear record of intentions and commitments, helping to prevent misunderstandings. For investors, it provides reassurance that the involved parties have agreed on important details before finalizing a formal contract.
sustainable aviation fueltechnical
"waste-to-energy sustainable marine fuel and sustainable aviation fuel solutions for the EU, Asia, and global markets"
Sustainable aviation fuel is a low‑carbon replacement for conventional jet fuel made from renewable sources (like plant residues, waste oils, or captured carbon) but refined to meet the same safety and performance rules as regular jet fuel. Investors care because SAF can lower airlines’ carbon footprints and exposure to tightening regulations, create new supply and cost dynamics in the fuel market, and drive long‑term demand shifts — like using cleaner fuel in the same airplane.
iscc-eu-approvedtechnical
"integrate their innovative, ISCC-EU-approved technology with our expansive bunkering footprint"
ISCC‑EU‑approved means a product or supply chain has been certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification system to meet the European Union’s sustainability and greenhouse‑gas rules for biofuels, bioliquids and certain bio‑based materials. For investors, this approval signals lower regulatory and market risk because it permits access to EU markets and often commands better pricing or contractual opportunities, similar to a quality stamp that unlocks buyer demand and avoids legal penalties.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMD Energy Limited (“TMDEL” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TMDE), together with its subsidiaries, a Malaysia and Singapore based services provider engaged in integrated bunkering services, which involves ship-to-ship transfer of marine fuels, ship management services and vessel chartering services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2025 (“First Half 2026”).

Management Commentary & Business Vision
Dato' Sri Kam Choy Ho, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of TMDEL, commented: "During the first half of fiscal year 2026, we navigated a highly challenging operating environment characterized by ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, tariff tensions, and softer global trade activities, which collectively put downward pressure on marine fuel demand. Concurrently, a highly competitive market compressed our gross margins, limiting our ability to fully pass increased logistics, labor, and operational costs on to our customers. Despite these near-term sector headwinds, we remained focused on maintaining rigorous safety standards, ensuring vessel operational readiness, and scaling our client engagement efforts.”
“Looking ahead, our vision extends beyond navigating immediate market cycles. We are actively exploring strategic avenues to diversify our offerings and embrace the maritime industry's green transition. A key pillar of this strategy is our extended partnership with Double Corporate Sdn Bhd to evaluate sustainable waste-based biofuels. This extension grants us a valuable timeframe to potentially integrate their innovative, ISCC-EU-approved technology with our expansive bunkering footprint. As global maritime trade stabilizes and the demand for greener fuels accelerates, TMDEL is committed to building a resilient, future-ready business model that drives long-term value for our shareholders."
Financial Performance Overview for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2025
Revenues
Total revenues decreased by approximately $72.1 million, or 22.5%, from approximately $319.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, to approximately $247.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025. Revenue from bunkering services decreased by 22.6% to approximately $247.1 million. This decline was primarily driven by lower demand and an approximate 16.0% drop in average global oil prices, which directly impacted selling prices under the Company's cost-plus pricing model. Revenue from ship management services increased by 13.1% to approximately $0.5 million, mainly attributable to foreign exchange translation effects.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $61.9 million, or 20.0%, to approximately $246.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025. This volume-driven reduction was partially offset by higher operational costs, including increased crew wages, elevated transportation and delivery costs, and higher maintenance expenses required for operational readiness.
Gross profit decreased to approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $10.9 million for the same period in 2024. The decline was due to the highly competitive market compressing spreads between selling prices and procurement costs, alongside operation bottleneck and challenges in bunkering such as vessel schedule delays and inflationary cost pressures.
Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses increased to approximately $0.2 million, driven by heightened client engagement and marketing efforts. General and administrative expenses increased by 20.9% to approximately $3.1 million, primarily due to higher professional service fees associated with investor relations, potential M&A opportunities, and corporate development initiatives, as well as an increase in staff costs. Depreciation expenses slightly decreased to approximately $2.3 million.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income of approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, decreased by approximately $9.4 million to a net loss of approximately $8.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Strategic Developments
Green Bioenergy Collaboration: On June 8, 2026, the Company announced a two-year extension of its Memorandum of Agreement with Malaysian bioenergy leader Double Corporate Sdn Bhd. The extension grants a two-year exclusivity period to advance discussions and evaluate a strategic collaboration on waste-to-energy sustainable marine fuel and sustainable aviation fuel solutions for the EU, Asia, and global markets.
