^*^In Q2 2024 one vessel underwent unscheduled repairs, accounting for the predominant part of the unscheduled off hire for the quarter.
The VLCC market improved significantly in the second quarter compared to the first quarter but trailed off towards the end of the period with disappointing bookings into the third quarter. We expect higher middle eastern OPEC volumes for seaborne exports from the end of the third quarter as domestic consumption for power generation should recede.
Refining margins were supportive during the second quarter, however limited arbitrage opportunities for West to East barrels from the USA did not support long haul trades. Chinese apparent oil demand slowed during the first months of the year whilst inventories built during this period, in particular through Iranian supplies. Brazil is reported to have committed additional supply volumes to Chinese refineries which will support the VLCC trade.
2
The lowering of the price cap on Russian barrels from September, renewed attention to transshipment and camouflaging of sanctioned oil in Malaysian waters, and Venezuelan crude possibly returning to the compliant market should be positive developments. Red Sea attacks have resumed, delaying resumption of Suez transits hence continuing to redirect shipments to the West around the African continent.
There is continuous demand to renew the shadow and sanctioned fleets, which should trigger retirements at the older end of these fleets. This development supports our steadfast view that the dynamics of our market are increasingly a favorable supply story, with a rapidly aging fleet well exceeding a benign orderbook of new ships.
Key constructive triggers in the near term could be a change to the West to East arbitrage for crude oil, impacts of enforcement and increasing levels of sanctions, and calming resolutions to trade and tariff negotiations. Considering these prospective triggers and the supply construct in the light of a resilient world economy, positive Chinese GDP readings, and reasonable oil prices, we find it rational to maintain our positive outlook for our business.
As of June 30, 2025, DHT had a fleet of 22 VLCCs, with a total dwt of 6,841,209. For more details on the fleet, please refer to the web site: https://www.dhtankers.com/fleetlist/
SUBSEQUENT EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:
| ● | In July 2025, the Company entered into a $308.4 million senior secured credit facility for the post-delivery financing of the Company’s four newbuildings. The vessels are currently under construction at<br> Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean (formerly known as Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering), in South Korea, and are scheduled for delivery during the first half of 2026. The facility is co-arranged by ING Bank and<br> Nordea Bank Abp, with ING Bank as Coordinator, Facility Agent, Security Agent and ECA Agent. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus a weighted average margin of 1.32%. The maturity date of the facility in relation to each<br> vessel is 12 years from the delivery date of each vessel with a 20-year repayment profile. Other terms and conditions are broadly in line with DHT’s current credit facilities. |

SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIALS
The Company reported shipping revenues for the second quarter of 2025 of $127.9 million compared to shipping revenues of $150.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the 2024 period to the 2025 period includes $14.3 million attributable to lower time charter equivalent rates and $7.8 million attributable to a decrease in total revenue days.
Other revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $0.4 million compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 and relate to technical management services provided. The decrease is due to a reduction in the fleet size for which the Company provides third-party technical management services.
The Company recorded a gain of $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 related to the sale of DHT Lotus. There was no gain on sale of vessel in the second quarter of 2024.
Voyage expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $35.1 million, compared to voyage expenses of $46.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The change was related to a decrease in bunker expenses of $10.6 million, a decrease in broker commission of $0.5 million and a decrease in port expenses of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in other voyage-related costs of $0.3. Voyage expenses will generally vary depending on the actual trading patterns during a quarter.
Vessel operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $19.6 million compared to $20.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly related to a reduction in operating days due to less vessels in the fleet.
Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $26.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $27.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to a decrease in vessel depreciation of $1.2 million and a decrease in depreciation of drydocking and exhaust gas cleaning systems of $0.6 million, due to fewer vessels in the fleet.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $4.6 million, consisting of $3.4 million cash and $1.2 million non-cash charges, compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, consisting of $3.5 million cash and $1.0 million non-cash charges. Non-cash G&A expense includes accrual for social security tax.
Net financial expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $4.3 million compared to $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net profit in the second quarter of 2025 of $56.0 million, or earnings of $0.35 per basic share and $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a net profit in the second quarter of 2024 of $44.5 million, or earnings of $0.27 per basic share and $0.27 per diluted share. The increase from the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2025 was mainly due to a $17.5 million gain on the sale of DHT Lotus, which contributed to an overall $8.2 million increase in operating income, along with a $3.2 million decrease in net financial expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2025 was $83.6 million compared to $82.9 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 and was mainly related to proceeds from the sale of DHT Lotus of $50.9 million, partially offset by $38.7 million related to investment in vessels under construction and $1.1 million related to investment in vessels.

Non-cash G&A expense includes accrual for social security tax.
Net financial expenses for the first half of 2025 were $9.0 million, compared to $15.6 million in the first half of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to decreased interest expense of $7.4 million, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in interest income, due to a decline in interest rates.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company assesses the financial performance of its business using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are termed “non-GAAP measures” because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measures include “Adjusted Net Revenue”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted spot time charter equivalent per day”. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for its investors and, when considered together with the Company’s IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations. In addition, DHT’s management measures the financial performance of the Company, in part, by using these non-GAAP measures, along with other performance metrics. The Company does not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or as superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under IFRS.

Note 5 – Vessels
The carrying values of the vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded that there were no indicators of impairment.
