CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING 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, strategies, future events or

performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of

historical facts.

We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. This report and any other

written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which

reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and are not intended to

give any assurance as to future results. When used in this document, the words “believe,” “expect,”

“anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek”, “plan,” “target,” “project,” “potential”, “continue”, “contemplate”,

“possible”, “likely,” “may,” “might”, “will,” “would,” “could” and similar expressions, terms, or phrases may

identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations,

estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and our future financial results and readers

should not place undue reliance on them. The forward-looking statements in this report 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 our records and

other data available from third parties. Although we believe 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 our control, we cannot assure

you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to important factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this report, and in the documents

incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause our actual results and

developments to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements may include but

are not limited to:

•the strength of world economies, including the central bank policies intended to combat overall

inflation and rising interest rates, and adverse fluctuations of foreign exchange rates;

•factors affecting the duration of voyage contracts, the actual amount of downtime and our backlogs;

•general market conditions, including the markets for our vessels, significant fluctuations in charter

rates, spot charter rates, and vessel values (including residual values and steel prices);

•the state of the global financial markets which may adversely impact availability of additional financing

and refinancing at rates and on terms acceptable to us, as well as our ability to obtain such, or to

comply with the restrictive and other covenants in our financing arrangements, or to obtain hedging

instruments at reasonable costs;

•the impact of the U.S. presidential and congressional election results affecting the economy, future

laws and regulations and trade policy matters, such as increased trade protectionism, the imposition of

tariffs and other import restrictions impacting the maritime shipping industry;

•international, national or local economic, social or political conditions, including the recent hostilities

between Israel and Iran and related conflicts in the Middle East such as the Houthi attacks in the Red

Sea and the Gulf of Aden and developments in Ukraine, any of which could increase at any time and

that could adversely affect us;

•potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, environmental factors (such as severe

weather events at sea or at port locations), geopolitical events, public health threats, international

hostilities including acts by terrorists or acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels;

•general domestic and international geopolitical conditions, including trade tensions between China and

the United States, trade wars and disagreements between oil producing countries, including illicit crude

oil trades;

•Volatility in demand, increased competition or reduction in contract values;

•our business strategy, including our ability to succeed in executing our decarbonization strategy, and

other plans and objectives for growth and future operations, including planned and unplanned capital

| 4 | | --- || CMB.TECH | Financial Report HY 2025 | | --- | --- |

expenditures, or failure to execute on our strategy to procure low sulfur fuel oil at reasonable prices

and the associated commodity risk;

•Risks relating to our completed merger with Golden Ocean Group Limited, including our ability to

successfully integrate Golden Ocean's business and the risk that some of all of the expected benefits of

the merger fail to materialize or occur within the anticipated time periods;

•risks that the merger disrupts our current plans and potential difficulties in our employee retention as

a result thereof;

•the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or Golden Ocean related to the

merger;

•our ability to generate cash to meet our debt service and other obligations;

•risks related to the ability to project future cash utilization and reserves needed for contingent future

liabilities and business operations;

•our levels of operating and maintenance costs, including fuel and bunker costs, drydocking and

insurance costs;

•risks relating to delays in, or increases in the cost of, already ordered newbuild vessels and the risk of a

failure to obtain contracts for such newbuild vessels potential liability from pending or future

litigations;

•environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) expectations of investors, banks and other stakeholders

and related costs of compliance with our ESG targets and objectives, and in particular failure to meet

our targets under our decarbonization strategy, making our fleet future proof ("green”) and failure to

find and execute on related partnerships;

•our dependence on key personnel and the availability of skilled workers, including seafarers, and the

related labor costs;

•the failure to protect our information systems against security breaches, or the failure or unavailability

of these systems for a significant period of time, as a result of cyber-attacks which may disrupt our

business operations, and our inability to secure cyber-insurance at reasonable costs;

•the shift from oil towards other energy sources such as electricity, natural gas, liquefied natural gas,

hydrogen, ammonia or other fuels for which there would be no need for maritime transportation;

•technology and product risk including those associated with energy transition, fleet/systems

rejuvenation to alternative propulsion, and availability of green fuel at strategic locations;

•any non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or other applicable regulations

relating to bribery;

•volatility of interest rate benchmarks under our financial agreements (under the Secured Overnight

Financing Rate (“SOFR”));

•volatility in the price of our securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive

markets in which we plan to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws

and regulations affecting such business and changes in the combined capital structure;

•vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hire;

•the supply of and demand for vessels comparable to ours, including against the background of

possibly accelerated climate change transition worldwide which would have an accelerated negative

effect on the demand for oil and thus maritime transportation of crude oil;

•reputational risks, including related to climate change and the nature of our business, and our inability

to adapt our business model in the face of any rapid decline in oil consumption;

•compliance with governmental, tax (including carbon related), environmental (including emissions

reductions) and safety regulations and regimes and related costs;

•potential liability from future litigations related to claims raised by public-interest organizations or

activism with regard to failure to adapt to or mitigate climate impact;

•increased cost of capital or limiting access to funding due to European Union (“EU”) Taxonomy or

relevant territorial taxonomy regulations;

•any non-compliance with existing environmental regulations applicable to us;

•new environmental regulations and restrictions, whether at a global level stipulated by the

International Maritime Organization (“IMO”), and/or imposed by regional or national authorities such

as the EU or individual countries;

•our incorporation under the laws of Belgium and the different rights to relief that may be available

compared to other countries, including the United States;

•treatment of the Company as a "passive foreign investment company" by U.S. tax authorities;

•the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, and in particular our ability to

obtain indemnities from customers;

•adequacy of insurance coverage;

•changes in laws, treaties or regulations affecting us or the industries we operate in; and

•the inability of our subsidiaries to declare or pay dividends.

These factors and the other risk factors described in this annual report and other reports that we furnish

or file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC, are not necessarily all of the

important factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those

expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could

harm our results. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments

anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected

consequences to, or effects on, us. These forward looking statements are made only as of the date of this

report. These forward looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and actual

results and developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward looking statements.

Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such

forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline 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. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned

not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation, and

specifically decline 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.

Note 1 - Reporting entity

CMB.TECH NV (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Belgium. The address of the Company’s

registered office is De Gerlachekaai 20, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium. The condensed consolidated interim

financial statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2025

comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests

in associates and joint ventures.

Note 2 - Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with lAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS

annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial

statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 that have been prepared in accordance with

International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

and as adopted by the European Union, collectively "IFRS".

Changes to and new significant accounting policies are described in Note 4.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Supervisory

Board on August 25, 2025.

Note 3 - Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and

liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key

sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the consolidated last annual

financial statements with the exception of the control assessment relating to the participation in Golden

Ocean Group Limited.

On March 4, 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a share purchase agreement with Hemen

Holding Limited ("Hemen") for the acquisition of 81,363,730 shares in Golden Ocean Group Limited

("Golden ocean") representing approximately 40.8% of Golden Ocean's issued and outstanding voting

shares at a price of USD 14.49 per share. Following the closing of the Share Purchase on March 12, 2025,

CMB.TECH holds 40.8% of Golden Ocean's outstanding common shares. As the remaining shareholdings

are widely dispersed and no contractual agreements are in place with other shareholders regarding

preferred voting rights, the shareholding of 40.8% is considered a majority shareholding. Based on voting

patterns at the three most recent shareholder meetings, it can be concluded that, following completion of

the share purchase on March 12, 2025, CMB.TECH holds significantly more voting rights than any other

shareholder or organized group of shareholders, resulting in de facto power through voting rights. The

Company has assessed that control has been obtained in accordance with IFRS 10 as of that date,

Consequently, Golden Ocean was fully integrated as a subsidiary within CMB.TECH's consolidated

accounts.

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for

both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This

includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value

measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the CFO.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third

party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the

| 17 | | --- || CMB.TECH | Financial Report HY 2025 | | --- | --- |

valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such

valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such

valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit and Risk

Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as

possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used

in the valuation techniques as follows.

•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

•Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable

inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels

of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level

of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting

period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values are included in the following

notes:

•Note 8 - Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations and

•Note 18 - Financial Instruments

•Note 24 - Business Combination

•Note 25 - Investments

Note 4 - Changes in significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial

statements are consistent with those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and

for the year ended December 31, 2024, that have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

During the current financial period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and

Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International

Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB as adopted by the European Union and

effective for the accounting year starting on January 1, 2025. The Group has not applied any new IFRS

requirements that are not yet effective as per June 30, 2025.

The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments issued by the IASB and the IFRIC as

adopted by the European Union are effective for the financial period:

•Lack of exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates)

On August 15, 2023, the IASB issued Lack of Exchangeability which amended IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in

Foreign Exchange Rates (the Amendments). The Amendments arose as a result of a submission received by

the IFRS Interpretations Committee about the determination of the exchange rate when there is a long-

term lack of exchangeability. IAS 21, prior to the Amendments, did not include explicit requirements for

the determination of the exchange rate when a currency is not exchangeable into another currency, which

led to diversity in practice.

The Committee recommended that the IASB develop narrow-scope amendments to IAS 21 to address this

issue. After further deliberations, the IASB issued an exposure draft of the proposed amendments to IAS

21 in April 2021 and the final amendments were issued in August 2023. The Amendments introduce

requirements to assess when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it is not. The

Amendments require an entity to estimate the spot exchange rate when it concludes that a currency is not

exchangeable into another currency.

| 18 | | --- || CMB.TECH | Financial Report HY 2025 | | --- | --- |

The adoption of these new standards and amendments has not led to major changes in the Group’s

accounting policies.

Note 5 - Changes in consolidation scope

On February 26, 2025, the entity CMB.TECH Bermuda Ltd. was established and 100% incorporated.

On March 4, 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a share purchase agreement with Hemen

Holding Limited ("Hemen") for the acquisition of 81,363,730 shares in Golden Ocean Group Limited

("Golden Ocean") representing 40.8% of Golden Ocean’s issued and outstanding voting shares at a price of

$14.49 per share. On March 12, 2025, CMB.TECH NV, through its subsidiary, purchased from Hemen the

81,363,730 shares in Golden Ocean. This acquisition is in line with CMB.TECH’s strategic objective of

diversification and investing in a modern dry bulk fleet.

The Company applied acquisition accounting in accordance with IFRS 3. The total purchase price was

$1.2 billion. After identifying and measuring the identifiable assets and liabilities, a revaluation of the net

assets of $639 million was recognized. Based on the share in the net assets at fair value, a goodwill of

$172 million was recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position (see Note 24).

Management has strong belief in the dry bulk market and expects significant growth in the business.

On June 30, 2025, CMB.TECH NV owned an aggregate of 98,400,204 shares in Golden Ocean after the

Note 7 - Segment reporting

The Group distinguishes three divisions: the Marine division, the H2 Infra division and the H2 Industry

division. These three divisions operate in different markets and eight operating segments are identified.

•Marine: the Marine division is the largest division in the Group. It builds, owns, operates and designs a

wide range of low and zero-carbon ships and features a fleet with hydrogen-powered vessels such as

Crew Transfer Vessels, ferries, Commissioning Service Operations Vessels, and tugboats, alongside

ammonia-powered large bulk carriers, container ships, chemical and crude oil tankers. The Marine

division consists of 6 operating segments: Euronav, Bocimar, Delphis, Bochem, Windcat, and Port

vessels.

•H2 Infra: the H2 Infra division is developing and securing the green molecule supply. The Company

integrates and manages key technology and infrastructure for the production and distribution of green

hydrogen and ammonia.

•H2 Industry: H2 Industry is a provider of scalable dual fuel industrial applications. Its proven

combustion technology enables the company to develop heavy-duty hydrogen-powered applications.

Although not all operating segments meet the definition of a reportable segment in IFRS 8, the Group

voluntarily discloses the related information since reported in this way to the CODM.

The segment profit or loss figures and key assets as set out below are presented to the Chief Operating

Decision Maker (CODM) and the Management Board on at least a quarterly basis to help the key decision

makers in evaluating the respective segments. Following the acquisition of CMB.TECH Enterprises in

February 2024, the markets in which the Group operates have expanded. Consequently, the Group has

decided to update its segment reporting in 2024 to reflect these changes. Additionally, please note that

the Floating Storage Units (FSOs) have been incorporated into the Euronav segment under the Euronav

brand name.

Following the acquisition of Golden Ocean in 2025, Golden Ocean has been incorporated ino the Bocimar

segment. Even though Golden Ocean has material business activities and is currently reporting separately,

management reviews performance at the combined dry bulk level as the activities, risks, customers, and

economic characteristics are identical. Presenting both under Bocimar therefore provides the most

accurate and consistent view of the Group's dry bulk activities.

combined carrying value of $31.7 million and generated a net gain of $51.9 million recognized in the

second half of 2024. With respect to VLCC Ingrid, there has been no immediate interested buyers for an

extended period. Accordingly, Management has determined that it is no longer appropriate to maintain

the vessel’s classification as an ‘Asset Held for Sale’ under IFRS 5. The vessel has therefore been

reclassified as an ‘Owned Vessel,’ and depreciation has been recognized retroactively for the period from

June 27, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

On April 16, 2025, the Company sold the VLCCs Hakone (2010 - 302,624 dwt) and Hakata (2010 - 302,550

dwt). Both vessels are accounted for as an asset held for sale as at June 30, 2025 and have a combined

carrying value of $74.2 million. The net gain on the vessels amounts to $39.3 million and will be recognized

upon delivery to its new owners during the third quarter of 2025.

Discontinued operations

As of June 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024 the Group had no operations that met the criteria of

discontinued operations.

Other income 35,774 1,130 263 754 37,921 362 841 (879) 38,245

The increase in total revenue for the period is primarily attributable to higher spot market revenue, driven by an increase in the number of vessels in the fleet. This

expansion is mainly the result of the acquisition of Golden Ocean, which became effective as of March 12, 2025. In addition, 10 newbuild drybulk vessels were

delivered and added to the fleet since June 30, 2024. The increase in the number of dry bulk vessels fully offsets the decline in spot revenue from the tanker division,

which was primarily attributable to a reduced number of tanker vessels in the fleet.

Spot revenue growth was partially offset by a decrease in pool revenue, primarily due to a reduction in the number of tanker vessels active in the pool.

Time charter revenue increased compared to the same period in the prior year, mainly due to the higher number of vessels employed on time charter, including

those acquired through the Golden Ocean transaction.

Other operating income comprises revenues related to the day-to-day commercial operation of the fleet that are not directly attributable to specific voyages. The

decrease in other operating income during the first half of 2025 is mainly the result of non-recurring items recognized in the first half of 2024. These included the gain

on the sale of Euronav Ship Management Hellas, liquidated damages received in connection with the sale of the N-class vessels (Noble, Nectar, and Newton), and

claim settlements.

Note 10 - Expenses for shipping activities

Voyage expenses and commissions

For the six month period ended
(in thousands of USD) June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024
Commissions paid (10,975) (9,158)
Bunkers (79,970) (59,270)
Other voyage related expenses (32,797) (17,475)
Total voyage expenses and commissions (123,742) (85,903)

The voyage expenses and commissions increased in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same

period in 2024 mainly due to an increase in bunker costs and other voyage related expenses.

The increase in bunker cost and commissions paid in the first semester of 2025 is mainly due to the

integration of the Golden Ocean vessels as of March 12, 2025 and thus more vessels operating on the

spot. For vessels operated on the spot market, voyage expenses are paid by the shipowner while voyage

expenses for vessels under a time charter contract, are paid by the charterer. Voyage expenses for vessels

operated in a Pool, are paid by the Pool.

The majority of other voyage expenses are port costs and agency fees which are owner's expenses on

voyage charters. Port costs vary depending on the number of spot voyages performed and the number

and type of ports. This also increases significantly due to the acquisition of the Golden Ocean fleet as per

March 12, 2025.

Vessel operating expenses

For the six month period ended
(in thousands of USD) June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024
Operating expenses (159,276) (92,813)
Insurance (16,197) (7,200)
Total vessel operating expenses (175,473) (100,013)

The operating expenses relate mainly to the crewing, technical and other costs to operate vessels. Crewing

costs are related to crew wages, travel and victualling costs. Technical costs relate mainly to maintenance,

spare parts and forwarding costs. Other costs are mainly port cost and costs for certifications and

inspections. The increase in operating expenses is  mainly related to the increase of number of vessels in

the fleet during the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. This is primarily attributable due to the acquisition

of Golden Ocean Group Ltd as per March 12, 2025 and newbuild drybulk vessels delivered during the year.

All values are in US Dollars.

The general and administrative expenses which include amongst others: shore staff wages, director fees,

consulting and audit fees and tonnage tax, increased in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same

period in 2024.

The increase compared to 2024 was related to both an increase in administrative expenses and an

increase in employee benefits mainly due to the integration of Golden Ocean as per March 12, 2025 (see

Note 24) and CMB.TECH Enterprises for the full semester.

Note 11 - Net finance expenses

For the six month period ended
(in thousands of USD) June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024
Interest income 6,866 13,292
Foreign exchange gains 18,841 10,124
Finance income 25,707 23,416
Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost (159,839) (53,869)

Fair value adjustment on interest rate swaps (420)
Other financial charges (4,297) (5,111)
Foreign exchange losses (41,076) (10,218)
Finance expense (208,147) (69,396)
Net finance expenses (182,440) (45,980)

Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost increased in the first six months of

2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was related to an increase in interest expenses

on bank loans due to a higher average outstanding debt in 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Interest leasing is the interest on lease liabilities.

The increase in foreign exchange losses is primarily attributable to the decline in the EUR/USD exchange

rate, which had a negative impact on the outstanding loan balances under the Group’s EUR-denominated

facilities.

Impairment

Marine

Based on the impairment indicator analysis conducted for the period ending June 30, 2025, the Group has

not identified any impairment triggers within its Marine division that require further impairment testing.

Both internal and external impairment indicators, including asset performance, market valuations, and

macroeconomic conditions, have been thoroughly assessed. The review is supported by independent

broker valuations which indicate that the fair market value of the fleet exceeds its carrying value. The

same analysis was conducted for the year ending December 31, 2024 and for the year ending December

31, 2023.

However, it was noted that the Golden Zhoushan (2011 - 175,853 dwt) was sold pursuant to a

Memorandum of Agreement signed on July 3, 2025, for a sale price of $22.1 million, less a 1% commission.

The vessel’s carrying amount at the time of sale was $26.5 million, resulting in a capital loss of $4.5 million.

As of June 30, 2025, an impairment charge was recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Accordingly, as of the reporting date, no further impairment adjustments are required for the Group’s

assets within the Marine division. The Management Board, under supervision of the Supervisory Board,

will continue to evaluate potential impairment risks on an ongoing basis, ensuring timely responses to any

significant changes in market conditions or operational performance.

Security

All vessels financed with bank loans are subject to a mortgage to secure bank loans (see Note 16).

Capital commitment

As at June 30, 2025 the Group's total capital commitment amounts to $1.9 billion (December 31, 2024:

In connection with the acquisition in 2022 of the remaining 50% in TI Asia and TI Africa, a part of the price

paid was related to an intangible asset (customer contracts with NOC for the service part, i.e. recharge of

opex, maintenance and crew). Management estimated the fair value of the intangible asset related to the

service component of the NOC contract, resulting in a value of $16.6 million at May 31, 2022. This amount

will be depreciated till the end of the contractual service, or until July 21, 2032 and September 21, 2032

respectively.

The goodwill recognized relates to the acquisition of Golden Ocean Group Ltd. (see Note 24). The

recognition of goodwill reflects management’s strong confidence in the long-term prospects of the dry

bulk market and the expected growth of the business segment. The resulting goodwill is recognized on the

statement of financial position and will be subject to annual impairment testing in accordance with

applicable accounting standards. As of June 30, 2025, the assessment did not identify any impairment

indicators.

value of $109.4 million. These IRSs are used to hedge the risk related to the fluctuation of the SOFR rate

and qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS 9. These instruments

have been measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value have been recognized in OCI and

the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. These IRSs are matching the repayment

profile of the facility and mature on March 31, 2030. The notional value of these instruments at June 30,

Other borrowings

On June 6, 2017, the Group signed an agreement with BNP to act as dealer for a Treasury Notes Program

with a maximum outstanding amount of 50 million Euro. On October 1, 2018, KBC was appointed as an

additional dealer in the agreement and the maximum amount was increased from 50 million Euro to

150 million Euro. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding amount was $35.2 million or 30.1 million Euro

(December 31, 2024: $63.0 million or 60.6 million Euro). The Treasury Notes are issued on an as needed

basis with different durations and initial pricing is set to 60 bps over Euribor. The Company enters into FX

forward contracts to manage the transaction risks related to these instruments issued in Euro compared

to the USD Group currency. The FX contracts have a same nominal amount and duration as the issued

Treasury Notes and they are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the

consolidated statement of profit or loss. On June 30, 2025, the fair value of these forward contracts

amounted to $0.1 million.

Due to the acquisition and consolidation of Golden Ocean Group as per March, 2025, $300.0 million of

sale and leaseback arrangements were entered into the Group. The sale and leaseback financing

agreements have a term of between 7 and 10 years, from the delivery of the respective vessels, in the case

of newbuilds. They carry an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.85% to 2.00%. At the end of the bareboat contract,

the Company has a purchase option or a purchase obligation. As at June 2025, the outstanding balance

under these facilities was $292.2 million. In relation to the sale and leaseback arrangements, the total

outstanding balance as at June 30, 2025 was $1,266.4 million.

Golden Ocean receives services from Front Ocean in relation to sales and purchase activities, bunker

procurement and administrative services in relation to the corporate headquarter. Costs are allocated

based on a cost plus mark-up model. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding amount was $4.5 million.

The future capital payments for these leaseback agreements are as follows:

The increase in trade payables is primarily attributable to the acquisition of GOGL and the delivery of

additional newbuild vessels within CMB.TECH Enterprises during the first half year of 2025 which caused

an increase in bunker payables.

The increase in deferred income is mainly attributable to the acquisition of the GOGL fleet and primarily

relates to deferred revenue from vessels operating under time charter contracts.

Measurement of fair values

Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

Level 1 fair value was determined based on the actual trading of the unsecured notes, due in 2026, and the trading price on June 30, 2024. The following tables show

the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3

There were no transfers between these levels in 2024 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far

as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable

losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The sources of financing are diversified and the bulk of the loans are irrevocable, long-term and maturities are

spread over different years.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

The Group has secured bank loans that contain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Group to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the

above table. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Group was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the debt agreements.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may change as

market interest rates change. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the table above (the maturity analysis) could occur significantly earlier, or at

significantly different amounts than stated above.

Note 19 - Deferred tax assets and liabilities

CMB.TECH NV and its subsidiaries had available combined cumulative tax losses and other tax credits

carried forward of $194.5 million and $160.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

respectively. Under current local tax laws, these loss carry forwards have an indefinite life and may be

used to offset future taxable income of CMB.TECH NV and its subsidiaries.

The Company did not recognize deferred tax assets of $50.3 million and $39.7 million as of June 30, 2025

and December 31, 2024, respectively, that can be carried forward against future taxable income, because

it is not considered more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be utilized in the foreseeable

future.

and to joint ventures within the Windcat group of companies, i.e. TSM Windcat and FRS Windcat Offshore

Logistics.

The cash guarantees and deposits as of June 30, 2025 relates to a cash security of $45.7 million lodged

with the High Court of Malaysia in January, 2024. The cash security equals the claimed amount and was

required to lift the arrest on the vessel Oceania which was subsequently sold and delivered to her new

owners.

Note 21 - Inventory

The bunker inventory mainly relates to the bunker fuel stored on board of the vessels. As of June 30, 2025

the carrying amount of the bunker inventory on board of the vessels amounted to $50.3 million (2024:

$17.3 million). The increase is mainly due to the acquisition of the Golden Ocean Fleet as per March 12,

2025.

Bunkers delivered to vessels operating in the TI Pool or Stolt pool, are sold to the Pool and bunkers on

board of these pooled vessels are no longer shown as bunker inventory but as trade and other

receivables.

The inventory on board of our vessels is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. No write down is

needed as long as the freight market remains robust offsetting potential higher weighted average

consumption costs of the bunker oil consumed from that inventory.

Bunker expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon consumption.

The other inventory amounts to $8.1 million and relates to trucks purchased to be converted into

hydrotrucks for resale and spare parts used for the conversion of regular engines to hydrogen powered

engines.

Note 22 - Trade and other receivables

The increase in receivables from contracts with customers is primarily attributable to the acquisition of

Golden Ocean Group Ltd as of March 12, 2025.

The receivables from contracts with customers - TI Pool relates to income to be received by the Group

from the Tankers International Pool. These amounts decreased in the first six months of 2025 mainly due

to a decreased number of vessels in the pool.

The increase in deferred charges is mainly due to the acquisition and consolidation of GOGL as per March

12, 2025 and to deferred arrangement fees of $28.4 million related to the undrawn amount of the

$2.0 billion loan facility.

The increase in other receivables is due to the acquisition of GOGL and mainly relates to bunker

receivables on time charter-out contracts.

The Group is currently involved in a litigation with RMK Maritime (RMK). RMK have commenced legal

proceedings in the London High Court against CMB.TECH seeking $13.0 million in damages in relation to

unpaid advisory services provided by RMK to CMB.TECH concerning its merger with Gener8 in 2016 and

  1. Based on an external legal advice, management believes that it has strong arguments that the risk

of an outflow is less than probable and therefore no provision is recognized. Our witness statements were

taken in the course of 2024 and in May 2025. The case was pleaded in June, and a verdict is expected by

the end of September. The Group is also involved in a claim from Fourworld. Fourworld has filed a claim

against CMB NV and an identical claim to CMB.TECH NV as well as all parties concerned in the deal with

Frontline. They want to overturn the following 3 decisions; (1) the sale of 24 vessels from CMB.TECH to

Frontline, (2) the termination of the arbitration between CMB.TECH and Frontline and (3) the acquisition of

CMB.TECH Enterprises by the Company. Hearings will take place in May 2026. Management believes that

Fourworld has no strong arguments and evidence and that the risk for CMB.TECH is low and therefore no

provision is recognised.

Additionally, the Group is still involved in a litigation concerning the Oceania. A cash security of

$45.7 million has been lodged with the High Court of Malaysia in January, 2024 (see Note 20). On May 7,

2025, the Group received an arbitration award in our favour in the London arbitration proceedings. The

tribunal held that the cargo is indeed deemed to be sanctioned, wherefore Silk Straits are to indemnify

CMBT and pay our claim of $1.8 million to be increased with costs. The case remains pending before the

Malaysian court, with hearings postponed to 2026. CMB.TECH is currently in discussion with Silk Straits

regarding a potential assignment of their rights vis-à-vis Black Swan. Such an assignment would enable

CMB.TECH to evaluate the possibility of initiating legal proceedings against Black Swan in Singapore, with

the objective of countering the ongoing Malaysian proceedings. An additional claim has been initiated by

Black Swan, alleging hedging losses arising from the loss of the cargo. The potential additional exposure

amounts to $13.6 million. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and external as well as

internal advice from counsel, management is of the opinion that it is not more likely than not that an

outflow of recources will be required to settle any obligation and that consequently no provision needs to

be accounted for at the moment.

Note 24 - Business Combination

On March 4, 2025, CMB.TECH NV, through its subsidiary CMB.TECH Bermuda Ltd., entered into a share

purchase agreement with Hemen Holdings Limited (Hemen) to purchase all of Hemen's 81,363,730 of the

common shares of Golden Ocean Group Limited at a purchase price of $14.49 per common share.

Following the closing of the Share Purchase on March 12, 2025, CMB.TECH holds 40.8% of Golden Ocean's

outstanding common shares. The combination of CMB.TECH and Golden Ocean is accounted for as a

business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of IFRS 3,

"Business combinations", with CMB.TECH as the accounting acquirer under this guidance.

As the remaining shareholdings are widely dispersed and no contractual agreements are in place with

other shareholders regarding preferred voting rights, the shareholding of 40.8% is considered a majority

shareholding. As mentioned in the Bye-laws, any question proposed for consideration at any general

meeting shall be decided on by a simple majority of votes cast. Based on voting patterns at the three most

recent shareholder meetings, it can be concluded that, following completion of the share purchase,

| 51 | | --- || CMB.TECH | Financial Report HY 2025 | | --- | --- |

CMB.TECH holds significantly more voting rights than any other shareholder or organized group of

shareholders, resulting in de facto power through voting rights. The Company has assessed that control

has been obtained in accordance with IFRS 10 as of that date. Consequently, Golden Ocean was fully

integrated as a subsidiary within CMB.TECH's consolidated accounts.

Between March 24, 2025, and April 3, 2025, CMB.TECH acquired an additional 17,036,474 Golden Ocean

common shares in the open market. As of June 30, 2025, CMB.TECH, indirectly through CMB.TECH

Bermuda Ltd. owned an aggregate of 98,400,204 Golden Ocean common shares, representing 49.4% of

Golden Ocean’s outstanding voting shares.

On April 22, 2025, CMB.TECH and Golden Ocean announced they signed the Term Sheet for a stock-for-

stock merger and subsequently on May 28, 2025, signed the Merger Agreement. CMB.TECH will be the

surviving entity of the Merger. On August 19, 2025, the stock-for-stock merger of Golden Ocean with and

into CMB.TECH Bermuda Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMB.TECH with CMB.TECH Bermuda Ltd. as

the surviving company, and with CMB.TECH as the issuer of the merger consideration shares, has been

approved. On August 20, 2025, the merger was completed and each Golden Ocean common share was

canceled, and such shares (other than shares that Golden Ocean, CMB.TECH, CMB.TECH Bermuda or any

of their respective subsidiaries own) were automatically converted into the right to receive 0.95 CMB.TECH

ordinary shares (subject to adjustment, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement).

The subsequent acquisitions of Golden Ocean shares as well as the merger will be accounted for as a step

acquisition of the non-controlling interest to equity on the basis of IFRS 10.B96.

Golden Ocean Group, is an international dry bulk shipping group. The merger creates one of the largest

diversified listed maritime groups in the world with a combined fleet of more than 250 vessels. Following

the merger, the free float of CMB.TECH increased, which is beneficial for the liquidity of the CMB.TECH

ordinary shares.

Details of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, purchase consideration and goodwill

are as follows (note that fair value was not used as the measurement basis for assets and liabilities that

require a different basis, which includes the office leases, contingent liabilities, income taxes and defined

benefit pension plans):

Following the initial acquisition, 40.80% of the revalued net assets is attributed to minority interests. Based

on the figures of March 12, 2025, this amounts to $1,460,354 thousand.

Current assets are comprised of trade debtors, inventory and deferred charges. Current liabilities are

primarily constituted by short-term loans and borrowings, trade debts and accrued costs and deferred

income related to the shipping activities.

Management has strong belief in the dry bulk market and expects significant growth in the business.

CMB.TECH recognized the resulting goodwill on the statement of financial position. This goodwill will

subsequently be assessed for impairment annually.

Contribution to revenue and profit/loss

Since their acquisition by the Group, the acquired companies contributed revenue of $198.8 million and a

loss of $37.5 million to the Group's consolidated results for the period ended June 30, 2025. If the

acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2025, management estimates that the Group's consolidated

revenue for the period ended June 30, 2025, would have been $306.2 million and consolidated loss for the

period ended June 30, 2025, would have been $66.1 million.

| 53 | | --- || CMB.TECH | Financial Report HY 2025 | | --- | --- |

Acquisition related costs

The Group incurred at June 30, 2025 approximately $2.0 million of legal fees, mainly related to due

diligence costs, advisory fees and audit fees. These acquisition-related costs for the business combination

were expensed as incurred and are included in 'General and administrative expenses'.

Business combinations completed in prior periods

On December 22, 2023 CMB.TECH and CMB NV entered into a share purchase agreement for the

acquisition of 100% of the shares in CMB.TECH Enterprises NV for a purchase price of $1.15 billion in cash.

The transaction was approved by an Extraordinary General Meeting on February 7, 2024 and has been

completed on February 8, 2024. The transaction has been considered as a transaction under common

control and therefore IFRS 3 does not apply. Hence book value accounting was applied which resulted in

the recognition of an adjustment of $797.0 million in retained earnings to reflect the difference between

the consideration paid and the identifiable net assets acquired.

Note 25 - Investments

At fair value through profit or loss

The investment in other companies of $45.0 million relates to the purchase of 10% of the shares of Anglo-

Eastern Univan Group Limited and to a stake held in SwissMarine by Golden Ocean Group Ltd of

$44.8 million. The investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised through

profit or loss. The Company received a dividend of $3.7 million from Anglo-Eastern Univan Group Limited

during the first six months of 2025.
