Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ardmore Shipping (ASC) reported Q3 2025 results showing softer market conditions. Net revenue was $81.2 million versus $96.1 million a year ago, and net income was $12.8 million versus $24.1 million. EPS was $0.30. The average TCE rate was $23,475 per day, down from $26,628, reflecting fewer spot revenue days and lower spot rates, partially offset by more time-charter days.

The company grew and refreshed its fleet, taking delivery of three modern Korean-built MR tankers for $103.9 million and fixing a 2014-built MR on a two-year charter at $21,250 per day. Liquidity stood at $296.0 million as of September 30, 2025, including $47.1 million in cash and $248.9 million of undrawn revolvers. Ardmore closed a new $350 million revolving credit facility (SOFR + 1.80%) maturing in 2031, with $110 million drawn at quarter-end.

The Board declared a $0.10 per-share cash dividend for Q3 2025, payable December 12, 2025 to holders of record on November 28, 2025. Subsequent to quarter-end, Ardmore fully redeemed all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for $30.6 million at 102% of liquidation preference.

Insights

Lower TCE and spot exposure weighed on earnings; balance sheet strengthened.

Ardmore Shipping saw Q3 net revenue of $81.2M and net income of $12.8M as average TCE fell to $23,475/day. The decline stems from fewer spot revenue days and softer spot rates, partly offset by more time-charter days.

On the capital side, Ardmore closed a $350M revolver priced at SOFR + 1.80% to 2031, drew $110M, and maintained total liquidity of $296.0M. It added three MR tankers for $103.9M, supporting scale while modestly increasing depreciation and interest costs.

The Board declared a $0.10 dividend tied to its one-third adjusted-earnings policy. After quarter-end, the company redeemed Series A Preferred for $30.6M, simplifying the capital stack. Actual impact depends on future rate trends and fleet employment mix disclosed in subsequent periods.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this report 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, expectations, projections, strategies, beliefs about 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”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “project”, “plan”, “potential”, “should”, “may”, “will”, “expect” and similar expressions are among those that identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this report include, among others, statements regarding: future operating results; the outcome of the Company’s strategies; fleet expansion and vessel and business acquisitions, and the timing thereof: future drydocking days, drydocking expenses and anticipated installations of scrubbers; sufficiency of liquidity and capital resources; anticipated funds and sources of financing for liquidity needs; the Company’s expectations regarding covenants in financing arrangements; the Company’s expectations regarding foreign exchange risk and credit risks; the Company’s expectations regarding the risk and potential effects of inflation; the potential effects of tariffs, and other foreign policy activities on global markets, the shipping industry and the Company’s operations; the potential effect of geopolitical conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas conflict and attacks against merchant vessels in the Red Sea area on the shipping industry and the Company; and the timing and payment of quarterly dividends by the Company. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, including, among others, the Company’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company 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, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. The Company cautions readers of this report not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in this Report on Form 6-K (this “Report”) and with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in “Item 18. Financial Statements” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Ardmore,” the “Company”, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Ardmore Shipping Corporation (NYSE: ASC) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

GENERAL

Ardmore owns and operates a fleet of Medium Range (“MR”) product and chemical tankers ranging from 25,000 to 50,200 deadweight tonnes (“dwt”). We provide through our modern, fuel-efficient fleet of mid-size tankers, seaborne transportation of petroleum products and chemicals worldwide to oil majors, national oil companies, oil and chemical traders, and chemical companies. As of September 30, 2025, we had in operation 27 vessels (including two chartered-in vessels), consisting of 21 MR tankers (19 Eco-Design and two Eco-Mod) ranging in size from 45,000 dwt to 50,200 dwt and six Eco-Design (IMO 2 product / chemical tankers) ranging in size from 25,000 dwt to 37,800 dwt.

We are strategically focused on modern, fuel-efficient, mid-size product and chemical tankers. We actively pursue opportunities to exploit the overlap we believe exists between the clean petroleum product (“CPP”) and chemical sectors in order to enhance earnings, and also seek to engage in more complex CPP trades, such as multi-grade and multi-port loading and discharging operations, where our knowledge of chemical operations is beneficial to our CPP customers.

Our fuel-efficient operations are designed to enhance our operating performance and provide value-added service to our customers. We believe we are at the forefront of fuel efficiency and emissions reduction trends and are well positioned to capitalize on these developments with our fleet of Eco-design and Eco-mod vessels. Our acquisition strategy includes continuing to build our fleet with Eco-design newbuildings or Eco-design second-hand vessels and with modern second-hand vessels that can be upgraded to Eco-mod.

We believe that the global energy transition will have a profound impact on the shipping industry, including the product and chemical tanker segments. While this transition will unfold over years, the impact is already being felt through anticipated Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index and Carbon Intensity Indicator regulations and constraints on newbuilding ordering activity. We view energy transition as less of a compliance challenge and more of an opportunity, which we have set out in our Energy Transition Plan (“ETP”), which is posted to our website. The information in our ETP or in our website is not incorporated by reference into this Report.

We are an integrated shipping company. All of our 25 owned vessels are technically managed by Anglo Ardmore Ship Management Limited, a joint venture entity that is 50% owned by us. We have a resolute focus on both high-quality service and efficient operations, and we believe that our expenses are very competitive with those of our peers.

We are commercially independent, as we have no blanket employment arrangements with third-party or related-party commercial managers. Through our in-house chartering and commercial team, we market our services directly to a broad range of customers, including oil majors, national oil companies, oil and chemical traders and chemical companies. We monitor the tanker markets to understand how to best utilize our vessels and may change our chartering strategy to take advantage of changing market conditions.

As of September 30, 2025, our fleet consisted of the following 25 owned vessels, excluding two chartered-in vessels.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS

Preferred Stock

On October 31, 2025, we fully redeemed all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, for $30.6 million, which represents the stipulated redemption price of 102% of the liquidation preference per share.

Fleet

During the quarter ended September 30, 3025, we took delivery of the previously announced acquisition of three modern, high-quality, Korean-built MR tankers, totaling $103.9 million. The vessel acquisitions were financed by cash on hand and bank debt, maintaining a modest leverage level and lowering average fleet age.

While primarily trading its fleet in the spot market, we recently committed one of our 2014-built MRs on a two-year time charter at $21,250 per day to a top-tier oil major.

Financing

In July 2025, we closed a $350 million revolving credit facility on favorable terms, secured by 20 of our owned vessels. The facility is priced at SOFR plus a margin of 1.80% and matures in 2031. The bank group in the revolving credit facility is comprised of Nordea Bank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), ABN AMRO Bank, and Danske Bank A/S.

Capital Allocation Policy, Including Dividends

Consistent with our variable dividend policy of paying out dividends on our shares of common stock equal to one-third of Adjusted earnings, as calculated for dividends, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on November 5, 2025, of $0.10 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The dividend will be paid on December 12, 2025, to all shareholders of record on November 28, 2025.

Geopolitical Conflicts

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has disrupted energy supply chains, caused instability and significant volatility in the global economy and resulted in economic sanctions by several nations. This conflict has contributed to increases in spot tanker rates.

Geopolitical tensions have increased since commencement of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023. Since mid-December 2023, Houthi rebels in Yemen have carried out numerous attacks on vessels in the Red Sea area. As a result of these attacks, many shipping companies have routed their vessels away from the Red Sea, which has affected trading patterns, rates, and expenses. Continuing instability or any further escalation or expansion of hostilities in the Middle East or elsewhere could continue to affect the price of crude oil and the oil industry, the tanker industry and demand for our services.

Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty

In recent months, governments have taken actions to implement new or increased tariffs on foreign imports and port fees. These activities have resulted in tariffs being levied on various goods and commodities, which may trigger an escalation of trade wars. These actions have been disruptive to global markets, resulting in significant volatility in stock and commodity prices and an increase in general global economic uncertainty, including the risk of economic recessions. As a result of this rapidly changing and unpredictable geopolitical climate, the shipping industry is experiencing uncertainty as to future vessel demand, trade routes, rates and operating costs.

Please see “Item 3. Key Information--Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for information about risks to us and our business relating to political instability, terrorist or other attacks, war or international hostilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Factors You Should Consider When Evaluating Our Results

There are a number of factors that should be considered when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects. We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing our results of operations. Please read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we report gross revenues in our condensed statements of operations and report voyage expenses separately. Ship-owners base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon actual and anticipated time charter equivalent, or TCE rates (which represent net revenues divided by revenue days) and industry analysts typically measure rates in terms of TCE rates. This is because under time charters the customer typically pays the voyage expenses, while under voyage charters, also known as spot market charters, the shipowner usually pays the voyage expenses. Accordingly, the discussion of revenue below focuses on TCE rates where applicable, as TCE provides meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it allows Ardmore to evaluate its revenue on a consistent basis, regardless of whether Ardmore chooses to employ its vessels on voyage charters or time charters. Our calculation of TCE may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Net revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents revenues less voyage expenses. Voyage expenses are all expenses related to a particular voyage, which include, among other things, bunkers and port/canal costs. Net revenue utilized to calculate TCE is determined on a discharge-to-discharge basis, which is different from how we record revenue under U.S. GAAP.

Under discharge to discharge, revenue is recognized beginning from the discharge of cargo from the prior voyage to the anticipated discharge of cargo in the current voyage, and voyage expenses are recognized as incurred.

Statements of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024

The following table presents our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $81.2 million, a decrease of $14.9 million from $96.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our average number of operating vessels was 26.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a slight increase from 26.0 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

We had 1,938 spot revenue days for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 2,279 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. We had 22 vessels employed directly in the spot market as of September 30, 2025, as compared to 25 vessels as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in spot revenue days resulted in a decrease in revenue of $14.0 million, while decreases in spot rates resulted in a decrease in revenue of $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

We had four product tankers and one chemical tanker employed under time charters as of September 30, 2025, compared to one product tanker as of September 30, 2024. We had 378 revenue days derived from time charters for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 92 revenue days for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenue days for time-chartered vessels resulted in an increase in revenue of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses were $28.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $6.1 million from $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in bunker costs.

TCE Rate. The average TCE rate for our fleet was $23,475 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $3,153 per day from $26,628 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2024. TCE rates represent net revenues (a non-GAAP measure representing revenue less voyage expenses) divided by revenue days. Net revenue utilized to calculate TCE is determined on a discharge-to-discharge basis, which is different from how we record revenue under U.S. GAAP.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses were $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.5 million from $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase reflects the timing of vessel operating expenses between quarters and is also partly attributable to the addition of three vessels to the Ardmore fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Vessel operating expenses, by their nature, can be prone to fluctuations between periods.

Charter Hire Costs. Total charter hire expenses were $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million from $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is a result of two chartered-in vessels redelivered at the end of their charter periods during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Total charter hire expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were comprised of an operating expense component of $2.4 million and a vessel lease expense component of $2.2 million (September 30, 2024: $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively).

Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $8.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million from $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to the previously announced addition of three vessels to the Ardmore fleet during the third quarter of 2025.

Amortization of Deferred Drydock Expenditures. Amortization of deferred drydock expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.6 million, an increase of $0.6 million from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to increased drydocking activity compared to the previous period. The deferred costs of drydockings for a given vessel are amortized on a straight-line basis to the next scheduled drydocking of the vessel.

General and Administrative Expenses: Corporate. Corporate-related general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $5.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily the result of one-time expenses related to the Company’s leadership transition during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses: Commercial and Chartering. Commercial and chartering expenses are the expenses attributable to our chartering and commercial operations departments in connection with our spot trading activities. Commercial and chartering expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $1.1 million, generally consistent with $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Interest Expense and Finance Costs. Interest expense and finance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $1.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to drawdowns made on our revolving credit facilities to finance the purchase of three MR tankers during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Amortization of deferred finance fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.2 million, generally consistent with $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the partial write-off of deferred finance fees associated with our previous revolving credit facility. We recorded no gain or loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $227.3 million, a decrease of $96.5 million from $323.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our average number of operating vessels was 26.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a slight increase from 26.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We had 5,908 spot revenue days for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 6,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We had 22 vessels employed directly in the spot market as of September 30, 2025, as compared with 25 vessels as of September 30, 2024. Decreases in spot rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 resulted in a decrease in revenue of $67.9 million and the decrease in spot revenue days resulted in a decrease in revenue of $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We had four product tankers and one chemical tanker employed under time charters as of September 30, 2025 compared to one product tanker as of September 30, 2024. We had 686 revenue days derived from time charters for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 307 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenue days for time-chartered vessels was partially offset by a decrease in time-charter rates, which resulted in a net increase in revenue of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses were $84.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $15.2 million from $99.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease included a $15.9 million reduction in bunker costs, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in port and agency costs.

TCE Rate. The average TCE rate for our fleet was $22,219 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $10,602 per day from $32,821 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. TCE rates represent net revenues (or revenue less voyage expenses) divided by revenue days. Net revenue utilized to calculate TCE is determined on a discharge-to-discharge basis, which is different from how we record revenue under U.S. GAAP.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses were $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.9 million from $45.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase reflects the timing of vessel operating expenses between quarters and is also partly attributable to the addition of three vessels to the Ardmore fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Vessel operating expenses, by their nature, are prone to fluctuations between periods.

Charter Hire Costs. Total charter hire expenses were $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million from $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is a result of two chartered-in vessels redelivered at the end of their charter periods during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Total charter hire expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were comprised of an operating expense component of $8.4 million and a vessel lease expense component of $7.7 million (September 30, 2024: $8.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively).

Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $24.3 million, an increase of $1.9 million from $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to the previously announced addition of three vessels to the Ardmore fleet during the third quarter of 2025 and the installation of energy saving devices and other upgrades on several vessels during their most recent drydocking cycles in 2025.

Amortization of Deferred Drydock Expenditures. Amortization of deferred drydock expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $3.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million from $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to increased drydocking activity compared to the previous period. The deferred costs of drydockings for a given vessel are amortized on a straight-line basis to the next scheduled drydocking of the vessel.

General and Administrative Expenses: Corporate. Corporate-related general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $15.0 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease primarily reflects one-time expenses related to the Company’s leadership transition during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses: Commercial and Chartering. Commercial and chartering expenses are the expenses attributable to our chartering and commercial operations departments in connection with our spot trading activities. Commercial and chartering expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $3.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Gain on Vessel Sold. We did not sell any vessels during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a gain of $12.3 million relating to the sale of the Ardmore Seafarer in April 2024.

Interest Expense and Finance Costs. Interest expense and finance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $3.7 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to prepayment of the finance leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 which resulted in lower interest expense and finance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Amortization of deferred finance fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.8 million, generally consistent with $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Loss Gain on Extinguishment of Debt. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the partial write-off of deferred finance fees associated with our previous revolving credit facility. We recorded no gain or loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Gain on Extinguishment of Finance Leases. We did not record a gain or loss on extinguishment of finance leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of finance leases of $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was related to the early prepayment of the finance lease related to the exercises of vessel purchase options for the Ardmore Seawolf and Ardmore Seahawk in June 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by our operations, our undrawn credit facilities, and capital raised through financing transactions. As of September 30, 2025, we had $296.0 million in liquidity available, including cash and cash equivalents of $47.1 million (December 31, 2024: $47.0 million) and amounts available and undrawn under our revolving credit facilities of $248.9 million (December 31, 2024: $196.4 million).

We believe that our working capital, together with expected cash flows from operations, will be sufficient for our present requirements.

Our short-term liquidity requirements include the payment of operating expenses (including voyage expenses and bunkers from spot chartering our vessels), drydocking expenditures, debt servicing costs, operating lease payments, quarterly common stock cash dividends, as well as funding our other working capital requirements. Prior to the redemption of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock on October 31, 2025, these requirements also included cash dividends on such shares.

Our short-term and spot charters contribute to the volatility of our net operating cash flows, and thus our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity. In addition, tanker spot markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker spot markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend to disrupt vessel scheduling.

Time charters provide contracted revenue that may reduce the volatility (as rates can fluctuate within months) and seasonality from revenue generated by vessels that operate in the spot market. Spot charters preserve flexibility to take advantage of increasing rate environments, but also expose the ship-owner to decreasing rate environments. Variability in our net operating cash flow also reflects changes in interest rates, fluctuations in working capital balances, the timing and the amount of drydocking expenditures, repairs and maintenance activities and the average number of vessels in service. The number of vessel dry dockings tends to vary each period depending on the vessel's maintenance schedule and required maintenance.

Generally, we expect that our long-term sources of funds will be cash balances, long-term bank borrowings, and other debt or equity financings. We expect that we will rely upon internal and external financing sources, including, cash balances, bank borrowings, finance leases, and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund vessel acquisitions or newbuildings and capital expenditures.

Our credit facilities are described in Notes 4 (“Debt”) to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. Our financing facilities contain covenants and other restrictions we believe are typical of debt financing collateralized by vessels, including those that restrict the relevant subsidiaries from incurring or guaranteeing additional indebtedness, granting certain liens, and selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets. Our financing facilities do not impose a restriction on dividends, distributions, or returns of capital unless a default is continuing or will result from such payment. The majority of our financing facilities require us to maintain various financial covenants.

Should we not meet these financial covenants or other covenants, the lenders may declare our obligations under the applicable agreements immediately due and payable, and terminate any further loan commitments, which would significantly affect our short-term liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to our financing facilities.

Our debt facilities require us to make interest payments based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to repay debt. We regularly monitor interest rate exposure and may enter into swap arrangements to hedge exposure when we consider it economically advantageous to do so. We currently do not have any interest rate swaps in place.

Payments of cash dividends on our shares of common stock were $37.5 million and dividend payments on shares of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock were $2.6 million.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Drydock

The drydocking schedule for our vessels as of September 30, 2025 is as follows:


	For the Years Ending December 31,
	2025⁽¹⁾	2026	2027	2028
Number of scheduled vessels in drydock (excluding in-water surveys)	2	—	3	7

We aim to continue staggering drydockings across the fleet. As our fleet matures, our drydocking expenses are likely to increase. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations and society classification surveys are a component of our vessel operating expenses.

(1) Three-month period ending December 31, 2025

Scrubber System Installation

The installation schedule for scrubber systems on our vessels as of September 30, 2025 is as follows:


	For the Years Ending December 31,
	2025	2026	2027	2028
Number of scheduled scrubber system installations	1	—	—	—

Scrubber system installations are timed to coincide with the drydocking schedule.

As of September 30, 2025, we had scrubber systems on 12 of our owned vessels, with one additional installation scheduled during the three-month period ending December 31, 2025. No additional scrubber installations are contemplated after 2025.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. Accounting estimates and assumptions that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties are discussed in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these estimates and assumptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In addition to the risks set forth below, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, regarding risks which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Operational Risk

We are exposed to operating costs arising from various vessel operations. Key areas of operating risk include drydocking, repair costs, insurance, piracy and fuel prices. Our risk management includes various strategies for technical management of drydocking and repairs coordinated with a focus on measuring cost and quality. Our modern fleet helps to minimize the risk. Given the potential for accidents and other incidents that may occur in vessel operations, the fleet is insured against various types of risk. We have established a set of countermeasures in order to minimize the risk of piracy attacks during voyages, particularly through regions which the Joint War Committee or our insurers consider high risk, or which they recommend monitoring, to make the navigation safer for sea staff and to protect our assets We also periodically consider and monitor the need for fuel hedging to manage the risk associated with the unpredictable and fluctuating nature of the price and supply of fuel.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The majority of our transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. Dollars, our functional currency. We incur certain general and operating expenses in other currencies (primarily the Euro and Singapore Dollar) and, as a result, there is a transactional risk to us that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on the value of our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. We did not enter into any derivative contracts to manage foreign exchange risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, primarily through borrowings that require us to make interest payments based on the SOFR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to repay debt. We regularly monitor interest rate exposure and may enter into swap arrangements to hedge exposure when we consider it economically advantageous to do so.

Liquidity Risk

Our principal objective in relation to liquidity is to ensure that we have access at minimum cost to sufficient and suitable liquidity to enable us to meet our obligations as they come due and to provide adequately for contingencies. Our policy is to manage our liquidity by forecasting cash flows arising from and expenses relating to spot voyage revenue, time charter revenue, pool revenue, vessel operating expenses, general and administrative overhead, and the servicing of debt.

Credit Risk

There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents to the extent that substantially all of the amounts are held in ABN AMRO and Nordea, and in short-term funds (with a credit risk rating of at least AA) managed by BlackRock, State Street Global Advisors, and JPMorgan Asset Management. While we believe this risk of loss is low, we intend to review and revise our policy for managing cash and cash equivalents if considered prudent to do so.

We limit our credit risk with trade accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. We generally do not require collateral for our trade accounts receivable.

We may be exposed to a credit risk in relation to vessel employment and at times may have multiple vessels employed by one charterer. We consider and evaluate concentration of credit risk regularly and perform evaluations of these charterers for credit risk, including credit concentration risk. As of September 30, 2025, our 27 vessels in operation (including two chartered-in vessels) were employed with 19 different charterers.

Inflation

In recent years, inflation has been a significant factor in the global economy, and inflationary pressures have resulted in increased operating, voyage (including bunkers) and general and administrative costs. Inflationary pressures could adversely affect our operating results to the extent our spot charter rates do not adequately cover the cost of any increases in bunker costs.

Although inflation has been moderating, inflationary pressures may continue or increase as a result of global macroeconomic conditions, which may be impacted by geopolitical factors beyond our control. For example, the recent imposition of new or increased tariffs on foreign imports, some of which activities have resulted in retaliatory tariffs being levied on goods and commodities, may trigger an escalation of trade wars and could cause inflation to increase. Please see “Significant Developments - Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty” in this Report for information about risks to us and our business relating to tariffs.

Geopolitical Factors

Please see “Significant Developments - Geopolitical Conflict” in this Report for information about risks to us and our business relating to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict and geopolitical and economic uncertainty, including tariffs and port fees.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for shares and as otherwise stated)

1. General information and significant accounting policies

1.1. Background

Ardmore Shipping Corporation (NYSE: ASC) (“ASC”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), provides seaborne transportation of petroleum products and chemicals worldwide to oil majors, national oil companies, oil and chemical traders, and chemical companies, with its modern, fuel-efficient fleet of mid-size product and chemical tankers and the Company operates its business in one operating segment, the transportation of refined petroleum products and chemicals. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had 25 owned vessels and two chartered-in vessels in operation. The average age of the Company’s owned fleet as of September 30, 2025 was 10.6 years.

1.2. Management and organizational structure

ASC was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on May 14, 2013. ASC commenced business operations through its predecessor company, Ardmore Shipping LLC, on April 15, 2010.

As of September 30, 2025, ASC had (a) 78 wholly owned subsidiaries, the majority of which represent single ship-owning companies for ASC’s fleet, (b) one 50%-owned joint venture, Anglo Ardmore Ship Management Limited (“AASML”), which provides technical management services to a majority of the ASC fleet, and (c) a 10% equity stake in Element 1 Corp (“E1”).

Ardmore Maritime Services (Asia) Pte, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Singapore, carries out the Company’s management services and associated functions. Ardmore Shipping Services (Ireland) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ireland, provides the Company’s corporate, accounting, fleet administration and operations services. Each of Ardmore Shipping (Asia) Pte. Limited and Ardmore Shipping (Americas) LLC, wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore and Delaware, respectively, performs commercial management and chartering services for the Company.

1.3. Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that apply to interim condensed financial statements.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for shares and as otherwise stated)

1.4. Significant accounting policies

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2. Business and Segment Reporting

The Company primarily engages in the ocean transportation of petroleum and chemical products internationally through its fleet of tankers. These tankers are not bound to specific ports or schedules, allowing them to respond to market opportunities by moving between trade lanes and geographical areas. The Company charters its vessels to its customers through a combination of spot and time-charter arrangements, with the majority of its revenue generated from spot voyages, which typically last less than three months.

The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews overall operating results on a fleet-wide basis using time charter equivalent rates (“TCE”) and consolidated expenses. When the Company charters-out a vessel, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide (subject to certain sanctions-related restrictions and certain operational-related constraints), making the disclosure of geographic information impracticable. The Company operates under one reportable segment for its vessel operations, based on how internally reported financial information is reviewed by the CODM to analyze performance, make decisions and allocate resources.

The accounting policies of the vessel operations segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the vessel operations segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

The Company’s CODM, is the senior management team that includes the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, senior vice president of commercial, and the senior director of corporate services.

The CODM uses consolidated net income to analyze income generated by the Company’s assets and how to allocate the corresponding cash flow according to the Company’s capital and resources focusing on maintaining the Company’s fleet, deleveraging, pursuing accretive growth opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders.

The CODM monitors budget versus actual results and the results of publicly reported competitors to assess the performance of the segment and establish a basis for management’s discretionary compensation.

3. Equity Investments

Element 1 Corp. - On June 17, 2021, the Company purchased a 10% equity stake in Element 1 Corp (“E1”), a developer of advanced hydrogen generation systems used to power fuel cells. The Company’s 10% equity stake consists of 581,795 shares of E1’s common stock. The Company holds one board seat out of five, resulting in 20% voting rights at the board level and thus an ability to exercise significant influence in E1.

ASC and its subsidiary Ardmore Shipping LLC have provided guarantees in respect of the loan facilities and ASC has granted a guarantee over its trade receivables in respect of its $15 million Working Capital Facility (as defined below). These guarantees can be called upon following a payment default. The outstanding principal balances on each loan facility as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Former ABN/CACIB Revolving Credit Facility

On August 5, 2022, seven of ASC’s subsidiaries entered into a $108 million sustainability-linked long-term loan facility with ABN and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“CACIB”) (the “ABN/CACIB Joint Bank Facility”), the proceeds of which were used to finance seven vessels, including three vessels financed under lease arrangements. Interest was calculated at SOFR plus 2.5%. Principal repayments on the term loans were made on a quarterly basis, with a balloon payment payable with the final installment. On June 15, 2023, the credit facility was amended to convert 50% of the outstanding balance under the facility into a revolving credit facility with the remaining 50% of the outstanding balance, or $49.2 million, continuing as a term loan facility. On March 14, 2024, the credit facility was further amended to convert the entire term loan outstanding balance under the facility into the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was prepaid on July 23, 2025 and refinanced with the $350 million Revolving Credit Facility described above, which was accounted for as a modification.

Former Nordea/SEB Revolving Facility

On August 5, 2022, 12 of ASC’s subsidiaries entered into a $185 million sustainability-linked revolving credit facility with Nordea and SEB (the “Nordea / SEB Revolving Facility”), the proceeds of which were used to refinance 12 vessels, including six vessels financed under lease arrangements. Interest was calculated at a rate of SOFR plus 2.5%. The revolving facility could be drawn down or repaid with five days’ notice. On July 23, 2025, the majority of this revolving credit facility was prepaid and refinanced through the $350 million Revolving Credit Facility. The refinancing was accounted for as a modification. At the date of refinancing, the outstanding balance of $10 million was transferred to the $350 million Revolving Credit Facility.

$15 million Working Capital Facility

5. Leases

CMBFL / Shandong

On June 25, 2021, two of ASC’s subsidiaries entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback (under a finance lease arrangement) of the Ardmore Seawolf and Ardmore Seahawk with CMB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd (“CMBFL”) / Shandong, resulting in gross proceeds of $49.0 million less fees of $1.0 million. The facility was drawn down in June 2021. Principal repayments on the leases were made on a monthly basis. The finance leases were scheduled to expire in 2026, with options to extend up to 2029. On February 14, 2024, the Company gave notice to exercise its purchase options, for both the Ardmore Seawolf and Ardmore Seahawk, which were under sale-leaseback arrangements. The vessel purchases concluded on June 25, 2024, with the Company repaying its remaining finance lease facility associated with those two vessels.

Long Term Operating Leases

The Company sold the Ardmore Sealeader, the Ardmore Sealifter and the Ardmore Sealancer on June 5, 2022, July 16, 2022 and July 31, 2022, respectively and subsequently chartered the vessels back from the buyer for a period of 24 months. On March 8, 2024, the Company exercised its option to extend the charter-in period for the Hansa Sealeader by an additional 12 months, starting from July 5, 2024. In April 2024, the Company exercised its options to extend the charter-in period for the Hansa Sealifter and Hansa Sealancer by an additional 12 months, starting from August 17, 2024 and September 1, 2024 respectively.

The Company redelivered the Hansa Sealeader and Hansa Sealifter during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The Hansa Sealancer was redelivered on October 24, 2025.

Chartered-in vessels include both lease and non-lease components. The lease component relates to the cost to a lessee to control the use of the vessel and the non-lease components relate to the cost to the lessees for the lessor to operate the vessel. For time charters-in, the Company has elected to separate lease and non-lease components.

5. Leases (continued)

Operating leases are included in operating lease, right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, current portion of operating lease obligations, and non-current portion of operating lease obligations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Short Term Lease

The Company entered into a short term lease agreement in March 2025 to charter-in a vessel for a period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further three months. The Company elected the practical expedient of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 842- Leases (“ASC 842”), which allows for leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less to be excluded from the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company recognizes the lease costs for all vessel-related operating leases as charter hire expenses, split between lease and non-lease components, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For office operating leases, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

7. Preferred Stock

On June 17, 2021 and on December 3, 2021, ASC issued 25,000 shares and 15,000 shares, respectively of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to an affiliate of Maritime Partners LLC. On December 10, 2024, the Company completed the redemption of 10,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. On October 31, 2025, the Company fully redeemed all outstanding preferred shares. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock was $1,000.00 per share. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock accrued cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, at an initial annual rate of 8.5% per $1,000.00 of liquidation preference per share, which rate could change based on certain matters. Dividends were payable on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing July 30, 2021. So long as any share of the Series A Preferred Stock remained outstanding, no cash dividend could be declared or paid on ASC’s common stock unless, among other things, all accrued and unpaid dividends had been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company could redeem, in whole or in part, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, at a cash redemption price equal to (a) 103% of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends on or after the third anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series A Preferred Stock and prior to the fourth anniversary, (b) 102% of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends after such fourth anniversary and prior to the fifth anniversary and (c) 100% of the liquidated preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends after such fifth anniversary.

The Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable, in whole or in part, upon the election of the Company or the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, including if a person or group became the beneficial owner of a majority of ASC’s total voting power. As it was possible, regardless of the probability of such occurrence, that a person or group could acquire beneficial ownership of a majority of the voting power of ASC’s outstanding common stock without Company approval and thereby trigger a “change of control,” the Series A Preferred Stock was classified as temporary equity for accounting purposes. The Company’s obligations to the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interest in E1. The Series A Preferred Stock is presented in the Company’s financial statements net of the related stock issuance costs.

7. Preferred Stock (continued)

As part of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to Maritime Partners, the Company granted to Maritime Partners a profits interest of 20% of all cash or in-kind distributions and proceeds received in respect of the E1 investment which profits interest distributions could only be made after the Company received a return of its initial investment of $9.3 million. As the agreement included a mandatory redemption date for the profits interest that was the tenth anniversary of the date of the agreement, it rendered the profits interest as a liability which required it to be marked to fair value each period with changes in the fair value recorded directly in earnings. The Company recorded a liability of $0.3 million, which is included in non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.

On October 1, 2025, the Company delivered a notice of full redemption for all outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, for $30.6 million, which represents the stipulated redemption price of 102% of the liquidation preference per share. The redemption was completed on October 31, 2025.

8. Subsequent Events

Consistent with the Company’s variable dividend policy, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on November 5, 2025, of $0.10 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The cash dividend of approximately $4.2 million will be paid on December 12, 2025, to all shareholders of record on November 28, 2025.
