Summary of Third 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 fourth 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 | Bareboat Charter Out of the Pool | |||||||||||||
Average Daily | Expected Revenue Days(1) | % of Days | Average Daily | Expected Revenue Days(1) | Average | Expected Revenue Days(1) | % of Days | ||||||||

(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 third quarter of 2025:

The outstanding debt of $5.1 million was repaid on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility in September 2025, with a corresponding $10.2 million reduction in the undrawn revolving portion of the facility. This sale is expected to close within the fourth quarter of 2025.
In September 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell two 2019 built scrubber-fitted LR2 product tankers, STI Lobelia and STI Lavender, for $61.2 million per vessel.

Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2024
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded net income of $84.5 million compared to net income of $158.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:
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 September 30, 2025, and 2024:
For the three months ended September 30, | ||||||||
In thousands of U.S. dollars | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||
Vessel revenue | $ | 241,361 | $ | 267,986 | ||||
Voyage expenses | (8,440 | ) | (9,785 | ) | ||||
TCE revenue | $ | 232,921 | $ | 258,201 | ||||
TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $25.3 million to $232.9 million, from $258.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Overall, the average daily TCE revenue decreased to $26,231 per vessel during the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $28,488 per vessel during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The average number of vessels was 99.0 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 104.8 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 declined as compared to the same period in the previous year. Both periods were characterized by strong demand driven by growing underlying consumption of refined petroleum products and robust export volumes. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the product tanker market was also impacted by inflated freight rates as much of the global shipping fleet avoided the Southern Red Sea due to attacks on commercial vessels in that region. By 2025, while the situation in the Southern Red Sea remained unresolved, trade patterns and supply chains for refined petroleum products adjusted, and the spike in daily spot TCE rates caused by the initial disruption normalized. This led to a reduction in TCE revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Vessel operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $6.6 million to $74.3 million, from $80.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in vessel operating costs was primarily driven by a decrease in the average number of vessels as a result of the sales of 12 vessels throughout 2024. Additionally, average daily vessel operating costs decreased slightly to $8,162 per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $8,395 per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This improvement was driven by small improvements spread across several different expense categories.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $0.8 million to $46.4 million, from $45.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased depreciation stemming from the completed drydocks during 2024 and the first nine months of 2025. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation resulting from six vessels either being sold or classified as held for sale since the third quarter of 2024.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $0.4 million to $29.6 million, from $30.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to decreases in cash compensation, administrative services costs and professional fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the amortization of restricted stock.
Financial expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $0.9 million to $20.0 million, from $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 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 $910.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $980.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally:
The Company recorded a $0.9 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and write-offs of deferred financing fees during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a nominal amount during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Dividend income and fair value gain on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net includes $2.1 million of dividends received from the Company's investment in DHT during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a fair value gain of $12.7 million in the value of this investment as of September 30, 2025.

(1) | See Non-IFRS Measures section below. |
(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 Third Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Compared to the Third 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, 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, including without limitation the potential expenses incurred under the recently implemented port fee regimes in the United States and China that may be applicable to certain of our vessels, the impact of the current and future sanctions that may impact the transportation of petroleum products, 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 continued uncertainty related to the conflict between Israel and Hamas and hostilities between Israel and Iran, which have and may continue to disrupt certain global shipping routes, vessel 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.
