1 | Flex LNG Ltd. Second Quarter Results 2026 | ||||
Marius Foss, CEO, commented:
“In the second quarter of 2026, we generated revenues of $106.8 million, or $102.7 million excluding EU Allowances, our highest quarterly revenue since the fourth quarter of 2021. Fleet-wide Time Charter Equivalent earnings were $86,119 per day, compared with $65,729 per day in the first quarter. Adjusted net income was $42.5 million, resulting in adjusted earnings per share of $0.79, an increase of 155% from the first quarter.
Energy markets have experienced significant volatility in recent months, as hostilities in the Middle East disrupted the broader energy complex. The resulting volatility and trading inefficiencies created attractive opportunities for our two spot-exposed vessels, Flex Volunteer and Flex Artemis. We secured employment for both vessels covering the second and third quarters, and each contributed to the increase in revenues. Both vessels are currently being marketed for spot and term employment from the end of the third quarter of 2026, leaving us with approximately 89% firm contract coverage for the remainder of the year.
In addition, Flex Aurora commenced her two-year firm charter with a supermajor in late March 2026. The charter runs until 2028 and includes three successive two-year extension options. We therefore benefited from a full quarter of earnings from the vessel during the second quarter. Likewise, Flex Constellation completed her first full quarter under her new 15-year charter. These two vessels made a solid contribution to both revenues and earnings.
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, we expect the freight market to remain volatile. On the supply side, around 55 vessels were delivered during the first seven months of the year, and shipbrokers expect a further 40 to 45 vessels to enter the fleet before year-end, hence, fleet growth is expected to remain high. At the same time, several demand-side factors could provide support to the market. European gas storage levels are currently at multi-year lows of around 61% as of mid August, while the shortfall in Qatari export volumes is contributing to the redirection of U.S. export volumes toward Asian importers. Despite the reduction in Qatari volumes, global LNG exports are flat year-on-year, supported by solid growth in U.S. export volumes and strong growth from West African exporters. Against this backdrop, we are entering an interesting and potentially volatile period for the LNG shipping market, with the balance between continued fleet growth and competition on LNG volumes between Europe and Asia.
However, we maintain our full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $345 - $370 million, excluding EUAs. We also maintain expected fleet-wide TCE earnings of $73,000 - $78,000 per day. Our guidance range for adjusted EBITDA is $255 - $280 million.
Supported by a strong earnings outlook for 2026, substantial contract backlog and a robust balance sheet, including $397 million of cash and no debt maturities before 2029, the Board is pleased to declare another quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share, equivalent to an aggregate distribution of approximately $41 million, marking our twentieth consecutive ordinary quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share. Including special dividends, we will have returned approximately $850 million to shareholders since 2021.”

Quarterly dividends
On August 18, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash distribution for the second quarter 2026 of $0.75 per share. The distribution will be made from the Company’s Contributed Surplus account, which consists of previously paid in share premium transferred from the Company’s Additional Paid In Capital account. The dividend is expected to be paid on or around September 17, 2026. The record date and ex-dividend date on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") are expected to be September 3, 2026.
Any dividends declared will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depend upon our financial condition, earnings and other factors. We can give no assurance that dividends will be declared and paid in the future.
Results for the three months ended June 30, 2026
The Company recorded vessel operating revenues of $106.8 million1 for the second quarter 2026, compared to $80.5 million in the first quarter 2026. Revenue for the quarter increased due to higher charter revenues generated by Flex Volunteer and Flex Artemis from operating in the spot market, and by Flex Constellation and Flex Aurora following the commencement of new charters during the first quarter 2026. Revenue was also positively impacted by the increased number of onhire days due to the drydocking of only one vessel, Flex Vigilant, in the second quarter 2026, compared to two vessels in the first quarter 2026. The TCE rate2 was $86,119 per day for the second quarter 2026, compared to $65,729 per day for the first quarter 2026.
Voyage expenses were $6.4 million in the second quarter 2026, compared to $5.8 million in the first quarter 2026. The increase was driven by higher costs for EUAs under the EU ETS, where an equivalent amount has been recorded within Vessel operating revenues. This increase has been partially offset by lower bunkers and repositioning costs when compared with the first quarter 2026.
Vessel operating expenses were $19.2 million in the second quarter 2026, compared to $18.7 million in the first quarter 2026. Operating Expenses ("Opex") per day2 was $16,260 for the second quarter 2026, compared to $15,953 for the first quarter 2026. The increase in vessel operating expenses was primarily driven by higher crew travel costs, due to disruptions affecting air travel through the Middle East, as well as the timing of expenses between quarters.
The Company recorded a net gain on derivatives of $4.7 million in the second quarter 2026, which includes a net unrealized gain of $2.4 million and a net realized gain of $2.3 million from interest rate swap settlements during the period.
1 $102.7 million excluding EUAs.
2 TCE rate, Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic earnings per share and Opex per day are non-GAAP measures as defined under SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is included at the end of this earnings report.
3 | Flex LNG Ltd. Second Quarter Results 2026 | ||||
Net income for the second quarter 2026 was $44.9 million, with basic earnings per share of $0.83, compared with net income of $19.5 million and basic earnings per share of $0.36 for the first quarter 2026. Adjusted net income2 was $42.5 million, with adjusted basic earnings per share of $0.79 for the second quarter 2026, compared to $16.9 million for the first quarter 2026 and adjusted basic earnings per share of $0.31.
As of June 30, 2026, the book value of vessels was $2,077.1 million, compared to $2,091.9 million as at March 31, 2026. The movement primarily reflects depreciation of $19.8 million, partially offset by $5.0 million of capitalized expenditures related to vessel drydockings.
As of June 30, 2026, total long-term debt was $1,793.7 million, compared to $1,821.0 million as at March 31, 2026, with the decrease attributable to scheduled debt repayments made during the second quarter 2026.
Cash and cash equivalents were $397.4 million, which includes fully drawn revolving tranches under the $270 Million Facility, $290 Million Facility and the Flex Enterprise $150 Million Facility.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter 2026 was $76.8 million, compared to $9.7 million in the first quarter 2026. This increase primarily reflects the rise in vessel operating revenues and the timing of advanced charter hire receipts.
Total equity was $702.5 million, compared to $698.2 million as at March 31, 2026. This increase in equity primarily reflects net income of $44.9 million for the period, partially offset by distributions of $40.6 million.
Business Update and Fleet Overview
Flex Artemis and Flex Volunteer operated in the spot market while being marketed for long-term charters. Both vessels are being marketed for new employment from the end of the third quarter 2026. The vessels are expected to continue trading in the short-term market until suitable long-term employment is secured.
Flex Vigilant successfully completed her scheduled drydocking in June 2026. With the previously completed drydockings of Flex Volunteer and Flex Freedom in January and March respectively, we have now completed all three scheduled drydockings for 2026 at an average cost of $6.0 million per vessel and an average offhire period of 17 days.
At the date of this report, the firm contract coverage is approximately 89% for the remainder of 2026, and the aggregate firm contract backlog for the fleet is 51 years, which may increase to 78 years if all extension options are exercised by charterers.
4 | Flex LNG Ltd. Second Quarter Results 2026 | ||||
We achieved 100% technical uptime, excluding offhire related to drydockings, on our vessels in the second quarter 2026.
The vessels generated a FuelEU Maritime1 compliance surplus related to the 2025 compliance period, reflecting the lower greenhouse gas intensity of our modern, fuel-efficient vessels compared with the applicable regulatory requirement for voyages within EU waters. No financial asset has been recognized as of June 30, 2026, as recognition remains subject to commercial negotiations with charterers and the related accounting assessment of any agreements reached.

LNG Market Update
The second quarter of 2026 was characterized by elevated geopolitical uncertainty, shifting LNG trade flows and considerable volatility in market sentiment. A temporary rally in Asian LNG prices briefly reopened the West–East arbitrage, encouraging cargo redirections, eastbound vessel repositioning and longer sailing distances. The resulting increase in tonne-mile demand supported freight rates, although an approximately $15,000 per day increase in Atlantic rates quickly eroded the arbitrage economics. Towards quarter-end, ceasefire developments in the U.S.–Israel war with Iran triggered a correction and headline spot rates declined. Despite renewed hostilities between Iran and the U.S. in late July, Atlantic rates have remained under pressure as increased available vessels compete for limited demand. Rates East of Suez have proved more resilient, with the Pacific basin now trading at a premium to the Atlantic for the first time this year. Shipbrokers are currently quoting spot rates for modern tonnage at $50,000–$70,000 per day.
The term market moved into inversion, reflecting the near-term geopolitical risk premium, with charterers willing to pay up for coverage during the disruption while expecting rates to moderate thereafter. Charterers also continued to secure structural cover, underpinned by expectations of a tighter shipping market from 2028. Shipbrokers are currently quoting five and ten-year term rates at approximately $75,000 and $80,000 per day respectively.
The LNG carrier newbuild orderbook stands at approximately 285 vessels, equivalent to around 37% of the fleet on the water. Around 55 vessels were delivered during the first seven months of 2026, with a further 40–45 expected during the remainder of the year, followed by approximately 95 vessels in 2027 and 80 in 2028. Ordering activity also accelerated, with approximately 60 vessels contracted during the first seven months of 2026 compared with 35 during the whole of 2025. Newbuild prices at Korean yards are quoted at around $250 million for 2029 delivery, while Chinese yards continue to offer a discount of approximately $20 million per vessel.
Global LNG exports during the first seven months of 2026 amounted to approximately 241 million tonnes, down 1.3 million tonnes year-on-year. The U.S. further strengthened its position as the world’s largest LNG exporter, with volumes increasing by 23%, or approximately 13 million tonnes, supported by the continued ramp-up of Plaquemines and Corpus Christi and the first cargoes from Golden Pass in April. LNG Canada approached full capacity, while stronger exports from West Africa further supported Atlantic Basin supply. Nigerian exports increased by approximately 29%, or 2.5 million tonnes year-on-year, with additional volumes from the GTA FLNG project offshore Mauritania, Senegal and Angola. Industry sources report that global export capacity ran at 96% utilization in July, excluding Qatar and the U.A.E., compared with 90% last year and a five-year average of around 86%.
These gains were more than offset by disruption at Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex, where loadings declined by approximately 30 million tonnes year-to-date compared with 2025. Although loadings resumed tentatively in late June following the so-called Islamabad MoU, continued uncertainty around transit through the Strait of Hormuz and renewed hostilities in July delayed the normalization of trade flows.
On the demand side, growth remained highly uneven. Egypt more than doubled its LNG imports to approximately 8 million tonnes during the first seven months of the year as domestic gas production declined and pipeline supply
6 | Flex LNG Ltd. Second Quarter Results 2026 | ||||
tightened. Germany imported approximately 4.8 million tonnes and the UK 5.4 million tonnes, while other European buyers also increased purchases amid relatively low storage inventories and continued displacement of Russian gas. However, total European LNG imports declined by approximately 4% year-on-year, while European gas storage stood at around 61% in mid-August.
North Asian demand weakened as higher JKM prices and prolonged disruption to Gulf supply reduced buying appetite. Chinese LNG imports declined by approximately 8% to 33 million tonnes during the first seven months of the year, the lowest level since the COVID period, while imports into Japan and South Korea fell by approximately 4% and 3%, respectively. China continued to act as the region’s swing buyer, relying on domestic gas production, pipeline imports, inventories and cargo resales rather than competing for higher-priced marginal LNG supply.
Final Investment Decision (FID) activity accelerated during the quarter, although newly sanctioned projects will not materially ease the near-term supply balance. Commonwealth LNG reached FID in May for its 9.5 MTPA project, while Delfin LNG sanctioned the first 4.4 MTPA vessel of its offshore FLNG development in June, marking the first U.S. floating liquefaction project to reach FID. Both support the longer-term expansion of U.S. LNG exports, although meaningful volumes are not expected before the end of the decade.
Finance update
To mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, the Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions, whereby floating rate has been swapped to a fixed rate of interest. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has fixed interest rates on an aggregate notional principal amount of $775.0 million. The interest rate swaps have a fixed rate of interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.46% and a weighted average duration of 2.3 years.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release 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, that are other than statements of historical facts.

(E) Share-based compensation
In June 2026, the Company issued 234,974 synthetic share options to members of top management and key personnel. The synthetic share options have a five-year term from June 24, 2026, with a three-year vesting period, whereby: 33% will vest after one year; 33% will vest after two years; and the remaining balance will vest after three years. The options have a strike price of $30.00 per share. The strike price will be adjusted for any distribution of dividends made before the relevant options expire. The synthetic options granted to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are subject to a cap on maximum annual gain equal to two times the annual base salary at the time of exercise of the synthetic options. The synthetic options will be settled in cash based on the difference between the market price of the Company’s shares and the strike price on the date of exercise, and as such, have been classified as a liability.
As at June 30, 2026, the Company had 356,843 outstanding non-vested synthetic share options and 59,037 outstanding vested synthetic share options (December 31, 2025: 182,805 non-vested options and nil vested options), with a weighted average-adjusted strike price2 of $26.84 per share for the non-vested options and $20.75 per share for the vested options (December 31, 2025: $22.25 per share for the non-vested options).
APPENDIX B - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
In this appendix we present additional information and measures intended to supplement investors’ understanding of our operating performance, by providing information regarding our ongoing performance that exclude items we believe do not directly affect our core operations and enhancing the comparability of our ongoing performance across periods. These measures are not items recognized by U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or used as alternatives to our operating performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management considers these measures to be useful to investors, because such performance measures provide information regarding the profitability of our core operations and facilitate comparison of our operating performance to that of our peers. Additionally, management uses these measures when reviewing the Company’s operating performance. While we believe these measures are useful to investors, the definitions used by us may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
(A) Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)
EBITDA is defined as net income plus net interest expense, write-off of debt issuance costs, income tax expense / (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude the items set forth in the table below, which represent items that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing performance of our core operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by analysts in the shipping industry as common performance measures to compare results across peers.
2 Adjusted strike price refers to the fact that the strike price of each option is adjusted for dividends paid since the grant date of the option in line with the Company's synthetic share option scheme.

(B) Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted net income represents earnings before write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan fees, fees in relation to the extinguishment of long-term debt, foreign exchange gains/losses and change in assets/liabilities of derivative instruments. Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") represents earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company adjusted for the above items, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EPS assist our management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to purchase and/or to continue to hold our common shares.

(C) Reconciliation of Total Operating Revenues to Time Charter Equivalent Income and Time Charter Equivalent Rate
Time charter equivalent rate ("TCE rate") represents the weighted average daily TCE income of our entire operating fleet. TCE rate is a measure of the average daily income performance. Our method of calculating TCE rate is determined by dividing TCE income by onhire days during a reporting period. We define TCE income as vessel operating revenues less voyage expenses. Onhire days are calculated on a vessel by vessel basis and represent the net of available days and offhire days for each vessel (owned or chartered in) in our possession during a reporting period. Available days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel (owned or chartered in) is in our possession during the period. Offhire days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel is in our possession during the period but is not operational as a result of unscheduled repairs, scheduled drydockings or special or intermediate surveys and lay-ups, if any.
The table below reconciles Vessel operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Time Charter Equivalent income.

(D) Reconciliation of Vessel operating expenses to Operating Expenses per day
Operating Expenses ("Opex") per day represents the weighted average daily vessel operating expenses of our entire operating fleet. Opex per day is a measure of the average daily operating performance. Our method of calculating Opex per day is determined by dividing vessel operating expenses by the available days during a reporting period. Available days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel (owned or chartered in) is in our possession during the period. Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use Opex per day as a measure to compare the relative performance of the Company's technical performance with other industry peers.
