FRONTLINE PLC







SECOND QUARTER 2025

29 August 2025





FRONTLINE PLC REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

Frontline plc (the “Company”, “Frontline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), today reported unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Highlights


Profit of $77.5 million, or $0.35 per share for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted profit of $80.4 million, or $0.36 per share for the second quarter of 2025.

Declared a cash dividend of $0.36 per share for the second quarter of 2025.

Reported revenues of $480.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Achieved average daily spot time charter equivalent earnings ("TCEs")1 for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2/Aframax tankers in the second quarter of $43,100, $38,900 and $29,300 per day, respectively.

Entered into a senior secured term loan facility in April 2025 in an amount of up to $1,286.5 million to refinance the outstanding debt on 24 VLCCs approximately three and a half years prior to maturity to reduce the margin.

Entered into an agreement to sell its oldest Suezmax tanker built in 2011, for a net sales price of $36.4 million. After repayment of existing debt, the transaction is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $23.7 million in the third quarter of 2025.



Lars H. Barstad, Chief Executive Officer of Frontline Management AS, commented:

“The second quarter of 2025 proved to be volatile, with growing unrest in the Middle East affecting tanker trade and freight. Although OPEC continued their strategy of reducing voluntary production cuts, these reversals have so far only yielded modest increases in exports. The summer is a period of high domestic demand for large oil producers, and it is expected that we will see more volume come into the market as we approach fall in the northern hemisphere. The US, G7 and the EU continue to widen the scope of sanctions, especially for Russia, causing increased oil trade inefficiencies. We have seen a gradual increase in utilization for the compliant tanker trade during the first half of the year, and with Frontline’s efficient spot-exposed fleet, we are excited as we approach the seasonal high demand period.”

We expect the spot TCEs for the full third quarter of 2025 to be lower than the spot TCEs currently contracted, due to the impact of ballast days during the third quarter of 2025. See Appendix 1 for further details.

Second Quarter 2025 Results

The Company reported profit of $77.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared with profit of $33.3 million in the previous quarter. The adjusted profit2 was $80.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared with adjusted profit of $40.4 million in the previous quarter. The adjustments in the second quarter of 2025 consist of a $3.6 million unrealized loss on derivatives, $2.5 million in dividends received, a $1.7 million synthetic option revaluation loss, $0.3 million of debt extinguishment losses, $0.2 million share of results of associated companies and a $0.1 million gain on marketable securities. The increase in adjusted profit from the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in our TCE earnings from $241.1 million in the previous quarter to $283.0 million in the second quarter as a result of higher TCE rates, partially offset by fluctuations in other income and expenses.

Tanker Market Update

According to the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), global oil consumption averaged 103.7 million barrels per day ("mbpd") in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 1.0 mbpd compared to the same period last year. Consumption is expected to grow further, reaching 104.5 mbpd in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 1.3 mbpd compared to the fourth quarter last year.

Global oil supply accelerated in the second quarter of 2025, averaging 105.1 mbpd, up 1.5 mbpd compared to the previous quarter and 2.0 mbpd compared to the same period last year.  Inventories have increased on average by 1.4 mbpd in the first half of 2025. Global supply is expected to continue outpacing demand in the second half of the year and reach 106.6 mbpd in the fourth quarter.

Geopolitical tensions once again set the tone for the tanker market. Sanctions enforcement, changing trade patterns, and OPEC+ production policies will remain key drivers of fleet utilization and earnings. Mid-June saw tensions escalate sharply following Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities. The turmoil drove owners to be more cautious and led to a short-lived spike in freight rates, at least on paper. However, the conflict had little impact on fundamental market drivers and few deals materialized. Sanctions enforcement continued to tighten, particularly against Russia’s shadow fleet. The EU expanded its blacklists to include nearly 190 additional vessels, putting further pressure on sanctioned oil flows. 135 VLCCs, 112 Suezmax tankers and 314 LR2/Aframax tankers are now sanctioned by either OFAC, UK or EU, representing 21% of the fleet. US threats of secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian crude have put further pressure on importers, especially India, Russia’s largest customer. While uncertainty persists, the announcement has already prompted some Indian refiners to increase their share of compliant barrels from the Atlantic basin and the Middle East, lending support to compliant tonnage. Crude exports from the US dipped significantly during July on the back of tight domestic supply and less favorable arbitrage economics to Europe and Asia. However, market participants anticipate a rebound in the fourth quarter of 2025 as rising Middle Eastern output improves west-east price spreads which might support utilization on the larger vessels. The second half of 2025 is likely to be defined by the development in crude supply growth and the market’s capacity to absorb it. Strong expected seasonal demand supported by healthy refinery margins, and further tightness in compliant tonnage will likely support freight rates.

The overall tanker order book for the asset classes that Frontline owns is now 19.1% of the existing global fleet, with 110, 101, and 169 vessels on order for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2 tankers, respectively. According to industry sources, four VLCCs are expected to be delivered in the remainder of 2025. The growth in the order books is predominantly for deliveries scheduled in 2026 and 2027 and is not expected to affect the overall outlook of the tanker fleet in the near term due to the general age profile of the existing fleet.

We continue to observe the aging of the tanker fleet as new deliveries have slowed with muted recycling activity. According to industry sources, 16.7% of the VLCC fleet, 19.8% of the Suezmax tanker fleet and 20.1% of the combined LR2 and Aframax tanker fleet are now above 20 years of age. However, for a product carrying vessel the 15-year age mark is equally interesting with 31.8% of the LR2 tanker fleet currently above this threshold.

The Fleet

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s fleet consisted of 81 vessels owned by the Company (41 VLCCs, 22 Suezmax tankers, 18 LR2/Aframax tankers), with an aggregate capacity of approximately 17.8 million DWT. As of June 30, 2025, all but one vessel in the Company's fleet were ECO vessels3 and 45 were scrubber-fitted vessels with a total average age of 7.1 years, making it one of the youngest and most energy-efficient fleets in the industry.



3 The Company defines an ECO vessel as a vessel with certain specifications that improve fuel consumption performance as compared to the previous generation of vessels. Typically built from 2015 onwards, ECO vessels have improved hull and engine designs to maximize operational performance according to today’s operational profiles. The Company also designates vessels as ECO if they have undergone retrofits such as de-rating to improve specific fuel consumption at today’s market speeds, installing propulsion improvement devices, or upgrading engine and equipment to bring the consumption performance of older vessels into line with those constructed from 2015 onwards. All ECO-vessels meet EEXI certification requirements.






As of June 30, 2025, four of the Company’s vessels (one VLCC, one Suezmax tanker, two LR2/Aframax tankers) were on time charter-out contracts with initial periods in excess of 12 months. The time charter-out contracts for the two LR2/Aframax tankers have initial periods ending in the third quarter of 2025, whereas the initial periods for the Suezmax tanker and the VLCC time-charters end in the second and third quarter of 2027, respectively.

In August 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its oldest Suezmax tanker, built in 2011, for a net sale price of $36.4 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the new owner during the third quarter of 2025. After repayment of existing debt on the vessel, the transaction is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $23.7 million, and the Company expects to record a gain of approximately $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Corporate Update

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.36 per share for the second quarter of 2025. The record date for the dividend will be September 12, 2025, the ex-dividend date is expected to be September 12, 2025, for shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange and September 11, 2025, for shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, and the dividend is scheduled to be paid on or about September 24, 2025.

The Company had 222,622,889 ordinary shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025 was 222,622,889.

Financing Update

In February 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility in an amount of up to $119.7 million with ING and First Citizens to refinance outstanding debt on two VLCCs and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in an amount of up to $51.6 million. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 165 basis points and has an amortization profile of 18 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

In February 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility in an amount of up to $72.3 million with Crédit Agricole to refinance outstanding debt on one VLCC and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in an amount of up to $25.4 million. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 170 basis points and has an amortization profile of 18 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

In February 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility in an amount of up to $47.0 million with SEB to refinance outstanding debt on one Suezmax tanker and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in an amount of up to $14.9 million. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 170 basis points and has an amortization profile of 20 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.





In April 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility in an amount of up to $1,286.5 million with a group of our relationship banks to refinance the outstanding debt on 24 VLCCs under the existing $1,410.0 million senior secured term loan facility approximately three and a half years prior to maturity to reduce the margin. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 170 basis points and has an amortization profile of 20 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

APPENDIX I - Non-GAAP measures

Reconciliation of Adjusted profit

This press release describes adjusted profit and related per share amounts, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS (“non-GAAP”). We believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a means of analyzing and understanding the Company's ongoing operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

(2) The three-year vesting period for the synthetic options granted to employees and board members in the fourth quarter of 2021 ended during the fourth quarter of 2024. As there are no ongoing service requirements, adjusted profit for the fourth quarter of 2024 and subsequent quarters exclude the gains and losses due to the revaluation of the synthetic option liability in the periods. Adjusted profit will exclude any gains/losses due to the revaluation of the liability for the remaining exercisable options until the expiration of the options in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Reconciliation of Total operating revenues to Time Charter Equivalent and Time Charter Equivalent per day

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use TCE as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. We define TCE as operating revenues less voyage expenses and commission, administrative income, finance lease interest income and other non-vessel related income. Under time charter agreements, voyage costs, such as bunker fuel, canal and port charges and commissions are borne and paid by the charterer whereas under voyage charter agreements, voyage costs are borne and paid by the owner. TCE is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Time charter equivalent, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance, regardless of whether a vessel has been employed on a time charter or a voyage charter.

Time charter equivalent per day

The Company recognizes revenues over time, ratably from commencement of cargo loading until completion of discharge of cargo (the "load-to-discharge basis").

Time charter equivalent per day ("TCE rate" or "TCE per day") represents the weighted average daily TCE income of vessels of different sizes in our fleet.

TCE per day is a measure of the average daily income performance. Our method of calculating TCE per day is determined by dividing TCE by on hire days during a reporting period. On hire days are calculated on a vessel by vessel basis and represent the net of available days and off hire days for each vessel (owned or chartered in) in our possession during a reporting period. Available days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the






vessel (owned or chartered in) is in our possession during the period. By definition, available days for an owned vessel equal the calendar days during a reporting period, unless the vessel is delivered by the yard during the relevant period whereas available days for a chartered-in vessel equal the tenure in days of the underlying time charter agreement, pro-rated to the relevant reporting period if such tenure overlaps more than one reporting period. Off hire days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel is in our possession during the period but is not operational as a result of unscheduled repairs, scheduled dry docking or special or intermediate surveys and lay-ups, if any.

Estimated average daily cash breakeven rates

The estimated average daily cash breakeven rates are the daily TCE rates our vessels must earn to cover operating expenses including dry docks, repayments of loans, net interest expense, bareboat hire, time charter hire and net general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.

Spot TCE currently contracted

Spot TCE currently contracted are provided on a load-to-discharge basis, whereby the Company recognizes revenues over time ratably from commencement of cargo loading until completion of discharge of cargo. The rates reported are for all contracted days so far in the third quarter and therefore may not be reflective of rates to be earned for the full third quarter. The percentage of the period covered reflects the number of days each vessel is currently contracted for the third quarter as compared to the total available days in the third quarter. The actual rates to be earned in the third quarter will depend on the number of additional contracted days the Company is able to achieve and when each vessel commences loading of its cargo. On a load-to-discharge basis, the Company is unable to recognize revenues on ballast days, which are days when a vessel is sailing without cargo. The number of contracted ballast days at the end of the second quarter of 2025 was 779 days for VLCCs, 349 days for Suezmax tankers and 214 days for LR2/Aframax tankers.
