The global markets experienced volatility following the announcements of various tariffs. Without clarity on objectives and outcomes, the process causes uncertainty, hence we think it’s too early to know the true implications for global economic growth and trade.

However, we reiterate our view that the dynamics of our market is increasingly a favorable supply story, with a rapidly aging fleet exceeding a benign orderbook of new ships, and a string of sanctions making it increasingly challenging to trade ships in the “shadow fleet”. OPEC has modestly started to bring more of its oil to the markets, contributing to strengthening freight rates evidenced by new highs for the year and higher lows. We appreciate OPEC’s decision and believe it to, amongst others, be supported by continued oil demand growth, a temporarily moderating growth trajectory of Atlantic based oil production offering an opportunity to regain some market share, low inventories in China requiring refilling to support growth and new refining capacity coming on stream, and certain sanctioned oil production being at risk with the possible need for replacement.

We experience strong demand for our quality fleet and services, presenting opportunities for DHT. We have what we believe is a resilient strategy with a focus on solid customer relations offering safe and reliable services, maintaining a competitive cost structure with robust break-even levels, a solid balance sheet, and a clear capital allocation policy. The whole DHT team continues to work hard and operate with leading governance standards and a high level of integrity.

As of March 31, 2025, DHT had a fleet of 23 VLCCs, with a total dwt of 7,161,351. For more details on the fleet, please refer to the web site: https://www.dhtankers.com/fleetlist/


SUBSEQUENT EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

In April 2025, the Company entered into a seven-year time charter contract for DHT Appaloosa, built 2018, with a global energy company. The time charter contract has a fixed base rate of $41,000 per day plus an index-based profit-sharing structure calculated on the ship’s specifications. All index-based earnings in excess of $41,000 per day will be shared equally between the customer and DHT. The customer has the option to extend for two additional years. DHT Appaloosa is expected to deliver into the time charter contract in May 2025.

In April 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell DHT Lotus and DHT Peony for a combined price of $103.0 million. Both vessels were built at Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co, China, in 2011. DHT Lotus was delivered to the new owner on April 29, 2025, and DHT Peony is expected to be delivered in July 2025. After repayment of existing debt on the vessels, amounting to $15.9 million in aggregate, the transaction is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $85.0 million. The Company expects to record gains of $17.5 million and $15.5 million in the second quarter and third quarter, respectively. The vessels were acquired in 2017 as part of the acquisition of BW Group’s VLCC fleet for an aggregate price of $115.8 million.

In April 2025, the Company acquired an additional 46.8% ownership of Goodwood Ship Management Pte. Ltd., a privately owned ship management company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore, for a purchase price of $6.1 million in cash. Following the acquisition, Goodwood Ship Management Pte. Ltd. is 100% owned by DHT Holdings, Inc.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a new secured credit agreement with Nordea Bank Abp for a $30 million reducing revolving credit facility to refinance the outstanding amount under the secured term loan facility with Danish Ship Finance A/S that financed DHT Jaguar. The credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 1.75%, has a final maturity in April 2031, and is otherwise in line with the “DHT style financing”.

In April 2025, the Company published its 2024 Sustainability Report which is available on DHT’s website www.dhtankers.com/esg/.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 FINANCIALS

The Company reported shipping revenues for the first quarter of 2025 of $118.2 million compared to shipping revenues of $145.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease from the 2024 period to the 2025 period includes $26.7 million attributable to lower time charter equivalent rates and $1.0 million attributable to a decrease in total revenue days.

Other revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $0.4 million compared to $1.2 million in the first 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 technical management services.

The Company recorded a gain of $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 related to the sale of DHT Scandinavia. There was no gain on sale of vessel in the first quarter of 2024.

Voyage expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $38.8 million, compared to voyage expenses of $39.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. The change was related to a decrease in bunker expenses of $1.2 million and a decrease in broker commission of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in other voyage-related costs of $0.5 million and an increase in port expenses of $0.4 million. Voyage expenses will generally vary depending on the actual trading patterns during a quarter.

Vessel operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $17.8 million compared to $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in insurance expenses of $1.1 million, a decrease in other operating expenses of $0.9 million and a decrease in lube oil of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in spares and consumables of $0.5 million and an increase in crewing expenses of $0.3 million.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $27.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to decreased depreciation of drydocking and exhaust gas cleaning systems of $0.9 million.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.5 million, consisting of $3.8 million cash and $1.7 million non-cash charges, compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, consisting of $3.8 million cash and $0.9 million non-cash charges. The increase in non-cash G&A expense from the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025 resulted from shares vested in the first quarter of 2025. Non-cash G&A expense includes accrual for social security tax.

Net financial expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $4.8 million compared to $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to decreased interest expenses of $3.7 million, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in interest income, due to a decline in interest rates.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net profit in the first quarter of 2025 of $44.1 million, or earnings of $0.27 per basic share and $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a net profit in the first quarter of 2024 of $47.1 million, or earnings of $0.29 per basic share and $0.29 per diluted share. The decrease from the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025 was mainly due to a $6.5 million decrease in operating income, partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in net financial expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2025 was $59.2 million compared to $69.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to a $20.0 million decrease in non-cash items included in net profit, and a net profit of $44.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net profit of $47.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $12.3 million change in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 and was mainly related to $42.5 million for the sale of DHT Scandinavia, partially offset by $25.8 million related to investment in vessels under construction. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and was mainly related to investment in vessels.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2025 was $73.6 million, comprised of $42.4 million related to prepayment of long-term debt, $27.3 million related to cash dividend paid, and $13.6 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt, partially offset by $10 million related to issuance of long-term debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2024 was $67.5 million comprised of $74.0 million related to prepayment of long-term debt, $35.5 million related to cash dividend paid, and $7.6 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt, partially offset by $50.0 million related to issuance of long-term debt.

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.

*Value adjusted is defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company's vessels (as determined quarterly by a broker approved by the financial institution)

As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.


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 March 31, 2025, the Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded that there were no indicators of impairment.
