$61,300 per day for the Company’s VLCCs on time charter.
|
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was $133.3 million. Net profit for the quarter was $164.5 million, equating to $1.02 per basic share. After adjusting for the $60.0 million gain on
sale of DHT Europe and DHT China and the non-cash fair value gain related to interest rate derivatives of $1.1 million, the Company had ordinary net income for the quarter of $103.4 million, equating to $0.64 per basic share.
|
| ● |
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company entered into agreements to sell DHT Europe and DHT China, each built in 2007, for an aggregate consideration of $101.6 million. DHT Europe was delivered to its new owner on January 30, 2026, and
DHT China was delivered on March 30, 2026. Following the repayment of existing debt associated with one of the vessels in the amount of $5.6 million, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $95.0 million. The Company

Current Market Pillars
The VLCC market is influenced by the following primary drivers:
| ● |
Basic Supply-Demand Fundamentals: The balance continues to support freight rates, as evidenced during the second half of 2025.
|
| ● |
Strategic Fleet Consolidation: Market structure has been strengthened by significant consolidation activity from a private aggregator during the first quarter of 2026.
|
| ● |
Geopolitical Risk Premiums: Regional hostilities involving Iran have introduced significant risk premiums on certain trade routes, resulting in substantial earnings differences between the various trading routes.
|
| ● |
Near term loss in crude oil available for transportation from the Middle East Gulf (MEG) is compensated by reduced vessel productivity through: 1) increased transportation distances as refiners source barrels from further away, and 2)
approximately 10% of the VLCC fleet being tied up either with cargo and waiting to exit the MEG or, waiting to load from Saudi Arabia’s western export facility.
|
Future Catalysts
We believe several emerging trends warrant specific attention, as they are expected to provide further longer-term tailwinds for our operations:
| ● |
Sanction Relief and Trade Normalization: Potential sanctions relief on Venezuelan and Iranian crude exports would likely shift volumes from the “shadow fleet” to compliant, independent operators, thereby expanding the addressable market
for our vessels.
|
| ● |
Fleet Modernization & Demolition: We anticipate that a shift toward compliant trade will deprive the aging, non-compliant “shadow fleet” of employment, likely accelerating the retirement of sub-standard tonnage and further tightening
global vessel supply.
|
| ● |
Energy Security & Inventory Replenishment: A heightened focus on national energy security could trigger long-term crude oil inventory building, supporting transportation demand beyond immediate consumption needs.
|
2
Strategic Positioning
| ● |
Consistent with the outlook presented in our previous reports, we observe that end-users are increasingly seeking to secure vessel capacity in response to tightening market conditions.
|
| ● |
We have strategically positioned our fleet for the first half of the year to seize on this development, capturing spot market rewards whilst selectively securing term employment to reduce volatility and enhance earnings visibility.
|
| ● |
The delivery of our four VLCC newbuildings is proving well-timed, with one vessel already commencing a long-term charter with a key customer.
|
| ● |
Our disciplined capital allocation policy remains a priority, ensuring that the positive market developments and our strategic positioning will reward shareholders through quarterly cash dividends.
|
As of March 31, 2026, DHT had a fleet of 23 VLCCs in operation, with a total dwt of 7,164,430. For more details on the fleet, please refer to the web site: https://www.dhtankers.com/fleetlist/.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:
| ● |

FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIALS
The Company reported shipping revenues for the first quarter of 2026 of $186.3 million compared to shipping revenues of $118.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase from the 2025 period to the 2026 period includes $72.8 million attributable to higher revenue per day, partially offset by $4.7 million attributable to a decrease in total revenue days resulting from a
smaller fleet size.
Other revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $0.2 million compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 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 $60.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to the sale of DHT Europe and DHT China, compared to a gain of $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 related
to the sale of DHT Scandinavia.
Voyage expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $29.1 million, compared to voyage expenses of $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to fewer vessels
operating in the spot market during the quarter, which led to a reduction in voyage expenses. Specifically, bunker expenses decreased by $10.8 million and other voyage-related costs decreased by $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase in
broker commission by $1.0 million and an increase in port expenses of $0.6 million. Voyage expenses will generally vary depending on the actual trading patterns during a quarter.
Vessel operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $19.1 million, compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly due to higher spares and consumables
expense of $1.9 million, higher repair and maintenance expense of $0.2 million, and higher insurance expense of $0.1 million, partially offset by lower crewing expenses of $0.6 million and lower other operating expenses of $0.4 million.
Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The
decrease was due to a decrease in vessel depreciation of $0.6 million and a decrease in depreciation of drydocking and exhaust gas cleaning systems of $1.0 million, due to fewer vessels in the fleet and DHT Bauhinia being classified as held for
sale as of end January 2026, partially offset by depreciation on the three newbuildings delivered during the quarter.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $5.0 million, consisting of $4.0 million cash and $1.0 million non-cash charges, compared to $5.5 million in the
first quarter of 2025, consisting of $3.8 million cash and $1.7 million non-cash charges. Non-cash G&A expense includes accruals for social security tax.
Net financial expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $3.0 million compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to a $1.1 million
non-cash gain related to interest rate derivatives and a $0.7 million reduction in interest expense resulting from lower interest rates.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net profit in the first quarter of 2026 of $164.5 million, or earnings of $1.02 per basic share and $1.02 per diluted share, compared to 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. The increase from the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026 was mainly due to a $118.8 million increase in
operating income, along with a $1.8 million decrease in net financial expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2026 was $98.7 million compared to $59.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was due to a net
profit of $164.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a net profit of $44.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by $44.4 million related to non-cash items included in net profit and a $36.6 million change in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $62.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, comprised of $160.0 million related to investment in vessels under construction, $2.8 million related to
investment in vessels and $0.2 million related to investment in other property, plant and equipment, partially offset by $101.0 million related to sale of vessels. 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.
4
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.5 million, comprised of $316.5 million related to issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by $225.0 million
related to prepayment of long-term debt, $66.0 million related to cash dividend paid, $8.9 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt and $5.6 million related to repayment of long-term debt in connection with sale of 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.
As of March 31, 2026, the cash balance was $126.2 million, compared to $79.0 million as of December 31, 2025.
The Company monitors its covenant compliance on an ongoing basis. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.

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.

Interest rate swaps
Derivatives are classified and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Fair value measurement is based on Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Such measurement is based on techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward interest rates (from
observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had eight amortizing interest rate swaps totaling $195.4 million with maturity in the fourth quarter of 2028. The average fixed interest rate is 3.32%. As of March 31, 2026, the fair

Note 5 – Vessels
A vessel’s recoverable amount is the higher of the vessel’s fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. 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. Each of the Company’s vessels have been viewed as a separate
CGU as the vessels have cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. In instances where a vessel is considered impaired, it is written down to its recoverable amount. For the quarter ending March 31, 2026, the
Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded that there were no indicators of impairment.
