Dorian LPG Ltd. (“Dorian”) was incorporated on July 1, 2013 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and is headquartered in the United States and is engaged in the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) worldwide through the ownership and operation of LPG tankers. Dorian LPG Ltd. and its subsidiaries (together “we”, “us”, “our”, “DLPG” or the “Company”) is primarily focused on owning and operating very large gas carriers (“VLGCs”), each with a cargo carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm. Following the delivery of the Continental, an ECO-design VLGC, on July 23, 2015, our fleet consists of eleven LPG carriers, including seven fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs, three 82,000 cbm VLGCs and one pressurized 5,000 cbm vessel. In addition, we have newbuilding contracts for the construction of twelve new fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“Hyundai” or “HHI”), and Daewoo  Shipping and Marine Engineering Ltd. (“Daewoo”), both of which are based in South Korea, with scheduled deliveries between August 2015 and February 2016. We refer to these contracts along with the VLGCs that were delivered between July 2014 and July 2015 as our VLGC Newbuilding Program.

 

On April 1, 2015, Dorian LPG Ltd. and Phoenix Tankers Pte. Ltd. (“Phoenix”) established Helios LPG Pool LLC, or the Helios Pool, which is a pool of VLGC vessels. We believe that the operation of certain of our VLGCs in this pool will allow us to achieve better market coverage and utilization. Vessels entered into the Helios Pool are commercially managed by Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Phoenix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd. The members of the Helios Pool share in the net pool income generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, weighted according to certain technical vessel characteristics, and net pool income (see Note 2) is distributed as time charter hire to each participant. The vessels entered into the Helios Pool may operate either in the spot market, contracts of affreightment, or on time charters of two years’ duration or less.

 

On May 13, 2014, we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and our shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “LPG”.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows have been included in the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended March 31, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 4, 2015.

 

Our quarterly results are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations, and the operating results for any quarter are therefore not necessarily indicative of results that may be otherwise expected for the entire year.

 

Our subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015, which are all wholly-owned and are incorporated in Republic of the Marshall Islands (unless otherwise noted), are listed below.
