CBLInternational Limited Announces Share Repurchase Program

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - June 3, 2025 - CBL International Limited (NASDAQ: BANL) (the “Company” or “CBL”), the listing vehicle of Banle Group (“Banle” or “the Group”), today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to the lesser of $5 million of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) or 5 million Ordinary Shares.

Repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made in the open market, with the actual timing and amount of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. The share repurchase program will expire on April 15, 2028.

Dr. Teck Lim Chia, Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The Board believes that the current market price of our shares does not fully reflect the underlying strength and long-term potential of our business. This share repurchase program underscores our confidence in the Company’s future and our commitment to delivering sustained value to our stockholders. “

FY2024Financial Performance

The Company reported consolidated revenue of $592.52 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, marking a 35.9% increase from $435.90 million in 2023. This growth was primarily driven by a 38.1% increase in sales volume, supported by the addition of new customers during the year, the expansion of our supply network to cover more ports, and a broader customer base that now includes bulk carriers and oil and gas tankers in addition to container liner operators.

Looking ahead, CBL remains focused on expanding its market presence, particularly in biofuels, and enhancing its global supply network. The Company is committed to driving operational efficiency and delivering sustainable growth.

The Company’s strategic expansion of ports, diversification of its client base, and commitment to sustainable initiatives are designed to position it for growth when market conditions improve. By investing in new ports and expanding relationships with key industry players, CBL aims to secure long-term partnerships that will strengthen its market position as global trade stabilizes and profitability improves.
