Strong Quarterly and Full-Year EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of $152,000,000 in Q4 2025 and $568,000,000 for the full year 2025, demonstrating sustained profitability and cash generation.
Net Income and Debt Reduction
IFRS net income of $344,000,000 for 2025 and a reduction in net debt from ~$3.1 billion (end of 2021) to a net cash position of approximately $308,000,000 as of the call, reflecting roughly a $3.0 billion deleveraging since 2021.
Substantial Liquidity and Improved Balance Sheet
Total available liquidity of ~$1.7 billion (cash $937,000,000 plus $767,000,000 revolver availability); $450,000,000 of debt repaid in 2025 including a $154,600,000 prepayment in Q4; no principal debt maturities until 2028 (after final lease settlement).
Dividend Increase
Quarterly dividend raised to $0.45 per share, a 12.5% year-over-year increase, supported by structural cash generation and a low cash breakeven.
Very Low Cash Breakeven and Cash Generation Scenarios
Company cash breakeven approximately $11,000 per day per vessel (lowest in company history). At illustrative TCEs the company can generate up to $292M/year at $20,000/day, $617M/year at $30,000/day, and $942M/year at $40,000/day.
Fleet Renewal and Operational Discipline
Sold 10 older vessels at attractive valuations and signed contracts to purchase 10 modern newbuildings (total forward outlay slightly over $700,000,000). Fleet is younger and more efficient, improving earnings power and financing attractiveness.
Market Fundamentals and Strong Spot Rates
Five consecutive quarters of rate improvement with current spot rates cited at approximately $46,000/day for LR2s and $38,000/day for MRs; structural drivers highlighted include expanding ton-mile demand (+~20% since 2019) and higher seaborne refined product exports (~22.1M bpd in January, ~+1.0M bpd YoY).
Successful Asset Monetization
Exit from DHT generated an approximately $30,000,000 cash gain, representing about a 24% return on the investment when including dividends received.
Capital Structure Optionality
$200,000,000 five-year senior unsecured notes issued in Jan 2025 trading ~103% of par; $240,000,000 of secured borrowings are revolver-drawn, preserving future liquidity flexibility; management noted ability to pay for newbuildings in cash if desired.
