Exhibit 99.1
Dorian LPG Ltd. Declares Irregular Cash Dividend of $0.70 Per Share, Provides Market and Financial Update and Announces Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call Date
STAMFORD, Conn., January 30, 2026 -- Dorian LPG Ltd. (NYSE: LPG) (the "Company" or "Dorian LPG"), a leading owner and operator of modern and ECO very large gas carriers (“VLGCs”), today announced that its Board of Directors has declared an irregular cash dividend of $0.70 per share of the Company’s common stock, returning approximately $29.9 million of capital to shareholders and will issue a news release on Thursday, February 5, 2026 prior to the market open, announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025. The dividend is payable on or about February 24, 2026 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2026.
The Company-provided forward booking estimate on its last earnings call reflected its bookings through that date. Market rates during November for December loadings were lower than the previous two months. In addition, fog in the Houston Ship channel contributed to unexpected waiting time, further reducing realized rates. Some quarterly TCE revenue estimates in the investment community do not reflect subsequent market conditions.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company anticipates an additional general and administrative expense of approximately $1.8 million, corresponding to an increase in accrual under the Company’s Annual Cash Incentive plan.
The estimated expenses included in this press release are preliminary, unaudited and subject to change. Such estimate is based on management’s current expectations and available information and remain incomplete due to the ongoing financial closing procedures for the applicable period. Actual results may differ.
