Mikael Skov, CEO of Hafnia, commented:

The positive momentum of Hafnia’s second quarter in 2025 has continued into the third quarter, with continued growth in trade volumes and tonne-miles. This has been driven by strong underlying global demand and improved refining margins, which has boosted the spot market.

I am pleased to announce that Hafnia reported strong earnings, with a net profit of USD 75.3 million in Q2 2025, with our commercially managed pool and bunker procurement business contributing USD 7.9 million¹ of the total result. Our Q2 performance was affected by several vessels undergoing scheduled drydocking, leading to approximately 630 off-hire days during the quarter, and we anticipate another 510 off-hire days in Q3.

At the end of the second quarter, our net asset value (NAV²) stood at approximately USD 3.3 billion, translating to an NAV per share of about USD 6.55 (~NOK 66.07). Our net Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio remained unchanged from the first quarter at 24.1%, balancing a decrease in our vessel market values and a further reduction in our debt.

I am pleased to announce a payout ratio of 80% for the second quarter. We will distribute a total of USD 60.3 million or USD 0.1210 per share in dividends.

In May, we took delivery of the Ecomar Guyenne, the second vessel in the dual-fuel methanol MR (IMO II) newbuild fleet, together with our partner Socatra. In July, we took delivery of the Ecomar Garonne, the third vessel in the joint venture. Seascale Energy - our bunker joint venture with Cargill commenced operations in mid-May, where the joint venture will be accounted for using the equity method.

In July, we concluded a USD 715 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of 11 banks. This facility has since been partially used to refinance existing debt. A competitive margin and attractive structure enabled us to lower our overall funding cost and cash flow breakeven levels, strengthening our liquidity position and providing flexibility for future growth.

We expect Hafnia’s strong performance to continue into the third quarter, influenced by our current bookings and solid market conditions, with OPEC’s production boosting refinery throughput, generating positive momentum for product tanker demand. On a macro level, geopolitical conflicts, sanctions, trade policies, and tariffs continue to shape trade flows, and we continue to closely monitor these developments. With limited newbuild contracts in 2025, the orderbook-to-fleet ratio remains around 20%, and incoming deliveries could impact the market unless offset via meaningful scrapping. This has yet to materialize, despite many vessels built in the 2000s are now reaching secondary trading or scrapping age. Simultaneously, a significant number of LR2s have moved to trading in the crude space, limiting product supply growth.

As of 15 August 2025, 75% of the Q3 earning days are covered at an average of USD 25,395 per day, and 48% of the earning days for the remainder of the year are covered at USD 25,158 per day.

As we conclude the first half of 2025, we are encouraged by the ongoing strength of the product tanker market, driven by strong demand and solid fundamentals. I believe Hafnia is well-positioned for the future. Our young, modern fleet and recent refinancing give us a strong stance amid market fluctuations, as well as the flexibility to pursue new opportunities.

Fleet

At the end of the quarter, Hafnia’s fleet consisted of 117 owned vessels¹ and 9 chartered-in vessels. The Group’s total fleet includes 10 LR2s, 32 LR1s (including three bareboat-chartered in and two time-chartered in), 60 MRs of which 11 are IMO II (including seven time-chartered in), and 24 Handy vessels of which 18 are IMO II (including six bareboat-chartered in).

The average estimated broker value of the owned fleet¹ was USD 3,748 million, of which USD 3,358 million relates to Hafnia’s 100% owned fleet, and USD 390 million relates to Hafnia’s 50% share in the joint venture fleet.

Including Hafnia’s 50% share in the joint venture fleet, the LR2 vessels had a broker value of USD 542 million², the LR1 fleet had a broker value of USD 976 million², the MR fleet had a broker value of USD 1,529 million³ and the Handy vessels had a broker value of USD 701 million⁴. The unencumbered vessels had a broker value of USD 1,024 million. The chartered-in fleet had a right-of-use asset book value of USD 23.6 million with a corresponding lease liability of USD 24.3 million.

Market Review & Outlook

Strong product demand, low global inventories, improving refining margins, and high export volumes have gradually supported the second quarter product tanker market and have continued into the third quarter. Refined product volumes on water have steadily increased, and daily loadings of refined products have grown even more in the third quarter, signalling further strength in the market as we approach the peak earning season.

Underlying demand remains strong, with the IEA forecasting a 0.7 million barrel per day increase in global oil demand in 2025 to 103.7 million barrels per day. OPEC+ plans to boost production by 0.5 million barrels per day in September, supporting near-term crude tanker rates and benefiting the product tanker market through higher refinery throughput and exports.

Global product inventories have fallen below historical averages, with continued drawdowns in both Europe and the US. The ongoing closure of refineries in these regions is expected to further tighten diesel and jet fuel supply, with replacement barrels likely supplied from the Middle East Gulf, adding to product tonne-miles. Refining margins are trending higher, with low refinery maintenance activity expected in the third quarter; these indicators point toward sustained strong oil demand.

The outlook for the product tanker supply remains positive, with limited newbuild activity planned for 2025. As of August 2025, the product tanker orderbook-to-fleet ratio is about 20%, but vessel scrapping has started, supported by an aging fleet, as many vessels built in the early 2000s are now reaching scrapping age. Additionally, vessels built in the latter part of the 2000s are nearing the end of their primary trading life. Furthermore, the capacity from newbuild deliveries has been absorbed by a large number of LR2s and LR1s entering the dirty trade.

The recent EU sanction package on Russia has further tightened the tanker supply effectively, by potentially pushing more vessels into the shadow fleet. By Q3 2025, a total of approximately 800 tankers have been sanctioned. The ban on products refined from Russian crude oil would also contribute to market inefficiencies, expand trade routes, and increase tonne-miles.

Looking ahead to the rest of 2025, we believe the product market is well-positioned for a strong winter season. However, several key factors could influence market dynamics, such as trade policy developments, changes in oil trade routes, sanctions, and ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Non-IFRS Measures

Throughout this press release, we provide a number of key performance indicators used by our management and often used by competitors in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS financial measure and as used herein represents earnings before financial income and expenses, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA additionally includes adjustments for gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels and/or subsidiaries, share of profit and loss from equity accounted investments, interest income and interest expense, capitalised financing fees written off and other finance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as lenders, to assess our operating performance as well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in our financing agreements.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors by increasing comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects of interest, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. These are items that could be affected by various changing financing methods and capital structure which may significantly affect profit/(loss) between periods. Including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure benefits investors in selecting between investment alternatives.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of our financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect profit/(loss) and these measures may vary among other companies. Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit/(loss) for the financial period, the most comparable IFRS financial measure, for the periods ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024.

Time charter equivalent (or “TCE”)

TCE (or TCE income) is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We define TCE income as income from time charters and voyage charters (including income from Pools, as described above) for our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels less voyage expenses (including fuel oil, port costs, brokers’ commissions and other voyage expenses).

We present TCE income per operating day¹, a non-IFRS measure, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE income may not be comparable to that reported by other shipping companies.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures

The following table reconciles our revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, to TCE income per operating day.

Revenue, voyage expenses and pool distributions in relation to External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools nets to zero, and therefore the calculation of TCE income is unaffected by these items:

‘TCE income’ as used by management is therefore only illustrative of the performance of the Hafnia Vessels and the TC Vessels; not the External Vessels in our Pools.

For the avoidance of doubt, in all instances where we use the term “TCE income” and it is not succeeded by “(voyage charter)”, we are referring to TCE income from revenue and voyage expenses related to both voyage charter and time charter.
