MONACO, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE:STNG) (“Scorpio Tankers,” or the “Company”) announced today an update on its first quarter and second quarter of 2026 average daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rates, and its liquidity and outstanding debt.
First and Second Quarters 2026 TCE Rate Update
Below is a summary of the average daily TCE revenue and duration of contracted voyages and time charters for the Company’s vessels (both in the pools and outside of the pools) thus far in the first and second quarters of 2026 as of the date hereof:
First Quarter of 2026
| Pool and Spot Market | Time Charters Out of the Pool | Bareboat Charter Out of the Pool | |||||||||||

Second Quarter of 2026

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average Daily TCE Revenue (1) | Expected Revenue Days (2) | % of Days | Average Daily TCE Revenue (1) | Expected Revenue Days (2) | Average Daily Revenue | Expected Revenue Days (2) | % of Days | ||||||

(1)Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period.
(2)Expected Revenue Days are the total number of calendar days in the quarter for each vessel, less the total number of estimated off-hire days during the period associated with repairs or drydockings. Consequently, Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in revenue days. The Company uses revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.
The above rates and coverage percentages are subject to change as the pool results, which include, but are not limited to, estimated results of voyages currently in progress, are finalized.

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. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation.
