HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardmore Shipping Corporation (NYSE: ASC) ("Ardmore", the "Company" or "we") today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Highlights and Recent Activity

• Reported Adjusted earnings and net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, or $0.22 earnings per basic and diluted share, compared to Adjusted earnings of $47.6 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $61.8 million, or $1.14 Adjusted earnings per basic share and $1.13 Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2024. (See reconciliation of net income to Adjusted earnings in the Non-GAAP Measures section. The major driver of the variance between Adjusted earnings and net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was a $12.3 million gain from the sale of the Ardmore Seafarer in April 2024)
  
  
• Reported Adjusted earnings and net income attributable to common stockholders of $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, or $0.36 earnings per basic and diluted share, compared to Adjusted earnings of $86.0 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $100.2 million, or $2.07 Adjusted earnings per basic share and $2.05 Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2024. (See reconciliation of net income to Adjusted earnings in the Non-GAAP Measures section. The major driver of the variance between Adjusted earnings and net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was a $12.3 million gain from the sale of the Ardmore Seafarer in April 2024)
  
  
• Consistent with the Company's variable dividend policy of paying out dividends on its shares of common stock equal to one-third of Adjusted earnings, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on July 30, 2025, of $0.07 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The dividend will be paid on September 12, 2025, to all shareholders of record on August 29, 2025.
  
  
• MR Eco-Design tankers earned an average spot TCE rate of $23,441 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Chemical tankers earned an average spot TCE rate of $20,409 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Based on approximately 50% of total revenue days currently fixed for the third quarter of 2025, the average spot TCE rate is approximately $25,450 per day for MR Eco-Design tankers; based on approximately 65% of revenue days fixed for the third quarter of 2025, the average spot TCE rate for chemical tankers is approximately $21,650 per day.
  
  
• The Company agreed to acquire three modern, high-quality, Korean-built MR tankers in two separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $103.9 million; one 2020-built scrubber-installed vessel for $38.3 million and two 2017-built vessels for $32.8 million each. Deliveries of these vessels are expected to be completed during the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and will be financed by cash on hand and revolving credit facilities, maintaining a modest leverage level while lowering average fleet age.
  
  
• The Company closed a $350 million revolving credit facility with top-tier banks and secured by 20 of Ardmore's owned vessels. The facility has a margin of 1.8% and matures in 2031.
  
  
• While predominately trading its tankers in the spot market, the Company committed one of its 25,000-ton chemical tankers to a three-year time-charter-out contract at $19,250 per day to a top-tier chemical producer. Furthermore, the Company executed two tactical MR charters out, thereby increasing MR fixed rate coverage to four vessels at an average rate of $22,500 per day with varying听durations between six to 12 months.

Gernot Ruppelt, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Earnings have continued to strengthen through the first half of 2025 and into the third quarter. Ardmore has executed a series of well-timed transactions and initiatives that further enhance our strong performance and earnings power. We agreed to acquire three modern, high-quality Korean-built MR tankers with near-term delivery, and we refinanced our bank debt at favorable terms with top-tier lenders. In addition, we selectively locked in quality time charter-out contracts for a portion of our existing fleet, thereby securing attractive near-term and multi-year returns. Furthermore, our previously announced tank coating upgrades have now been completed on the majority of our chemical tankers, delivering early wins by accessing an even wider cargo slate. This has resulted in premium returns for our chemical fleet, and it matches our focused strategy to interchangeably leverage product and chemical markets.听

Guided by Ardmore's strong governance and consistent approach to capital allocation, enabled by our high-performing organization and our robust balance sheet, Ardmore continues to decisively deliver on its strategy to create long-term value through market cycles."

Below is a summary of the average daily Chemical Tanker TCE rates earned during the second quarter of 2025 and thus far in the third quarter of 2025, together with the corresponding percentage of currently fixed total revenue days for the third quarter:

Drydocking

The Company had 194 drydocking days in the second quarter of 2025. The Company is currently scheduled to have approximately 110 drydocking days in the third quarter of 2025.

Fleet

The Company agreed to acquire three modern, high-quality, Korean-built MR tankers in two separate transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $103.9 million; one 2020-built scrubber-installed vessel for $38.3 million and two 2017-built vessels for $32.8 million each. Deliveries of these vessels are expected to be completed during the quarter ending September 30, 2025, and will be financed by cash on hand and revolving credit facilities, maintaining a modest leverage level while lowering average fleet age.

While predominately trading its tankers in the spot market, the Company committed one of its 25,000-ton chemical tankers to a three-year time-charter-out contract at $19,250 per day to a top-tier chemical producer. Furthermore, the Company executed two tactical MR charters out, thereby increasing MR fixed rate coverage to four vessels at an average rate of $22,500 per day, with varying听durations between six to 12 months.

Financing

In July 2025, the Company closed a $350 million revolving credit facility with top-tier banks, secured by 20 of its owned vessels. The facility is priced at SOFR plus a margin of 1.80% and matures in 2031. The revolving credit facility comprises Nordea Bank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), ABN AMRO Bank, and Danske Bank A/S.

Dividend on Common Shares

Consistent with the Company's variable dividend policy of paying out dividends on its shares of common stock equal to one-third of Adjusted earnings, as calculated for dividends (see Adjusted earnings (for purposes of dividend calculations) in the Non-GAAP Measures section), the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on July 30, 2025 of $0.07 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The dividend will be paid on September 12, 2025, to all shareholders of record on August 29, 2025.

Geopolitical Conflicts

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has disrupted energy supply chains, caused instability and significant volatility in the global economy and resulted in economic sanctions by several nations. This conflict has contributed to increases in spot tanker rates.

Geopolitical tensions have increased since commencement of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023. Since mid-December 2023, Houthi rebels in Yemen have carried out numerous attacks on vessels in the Red Sea area. As a result of these attacks, many shipping companies have routed their vessels away from the Red Sea, which has affected trading patterns, rates and expenses. Although these vessel attacks generally decreased in the first half of 2025, they have recently increased, and the situation remains volatile. Military and other intervention intended to reduce or stop the attacks, including airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels has not resolved hostilities in the region. Further escalation or expansion of hostilities in the Middle East or elsewhere could continue to affect the price of crude oil and the oil industry, the tanker industry and demand for the Company's services.

Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty

In recent months, governments have taken actions to implement new or increased tariffs on foreign imports. These activities have resulted in tariffs being levied on various goods and commodities, which may trigger an escalation of trade wars. These actions have been disruptive to global markets, resulting in significant volatility in stock and commodity prices and an increase in general global economic uncertainty, including the risk of economic recessions. As a result of this rapidly changing and unpredictable geopolitical climate, the shipping industry is experiencing uncertainty as to future vessel demand, trade routes, rates and operating costs.听

Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

The Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, or $0.22 earnings per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $61.8 million, or $1.48 earnings per basic share and $1.47 earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

The Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, or $0.36 earnings per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $100.2 million, or $2.41 earnings per basic share and $2.39 earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $72.0 million, a decrease of $49.3 million from $121.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company's average number of operating vessels was 26.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, consistent with 26.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.听

The Company had 1,975 spot revenue days for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 2,093 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company had 23 vessels employed directly in the spot market as of June 30, 2025, as compared to 24 vessels as of June 30, 2024. Decreases in spot rates during the three months ended June 30, 2025 resulted in a decrease in revenue of $40.0 million, while the decrease in spot revenue days resulted in a decrease in revenue of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company had three product tankers employed under time charter as of June 30, 2025, as compared to two as of June 30, 2024. There were 218 revenue days derived from time charters for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 186 revenue days for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenue days for time-chartered vessels was offset by a decrease in time-charter rates, which resulted in a net decrease in revenue of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses were $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $9.5 million from $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a $6.6 million reduction in bunker costs and a $2.9 million decrease in port, agency and broker commission costs.

TCE Rate. The average TCE rate for the Company's fleet was $22,468 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $15,294 per day from $37,762 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2024. TCE rates represent net revenues (a non-GAAP measure representing revenue less voyage expenses) divided by revenue days. Net revenue utilized to calculate TCE is determined on a discharge-to-discharge basis, which is different from how the Company records revenue under U.S. GAAP.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses were $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million from $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease reflects the timing of vessel operating expenses between quarters. Vessel operating expenses, by their nature, can be prone to fluctuations between periods.

Charter Hire Costs.听Total charter hire expense was $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, generally consistent with $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Total charter hire expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was comprised of an operating expense component of $3.0 million and a vessel lease expense component of $2.7 million (June 30, 2024: $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively).

Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $7.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million from $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to the installation of energy saving devices and other upgrades on several vessels during their most recent drydocking cycles in the second quarter of 2025.

Amortization of Deferred Drydock Expenditures. Amortization of deferred drydock expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.3 million, an increase of $0.4 million from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Deferred drydocking costs for a given vessel are amortized on a straight-line basis to the next scheduled drydocking of the vessel.

General and Administrative Expenses: Corporate. Corporate-related general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $4.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in costs reflects savings versus the prior period one-time expenses related to the Company's leadership transition.

General and Administrative Expenses: Commercial and Chartering. Commercial and chartering expenses are the expenses attributable to Ardmore's chartering and commercial operations departments in connection with its spot trading activities. Commercial and chartering expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $1.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The cost increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to one-time related costs.

Gain on Vessel Sold. The Company did not sell any vessels during the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $12.3 million relating to the gain on the sale of the Ardmore Seafarer in April 2024.

Interest Expense and Finance Costs. Interest expense and finance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $1.0 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in costs was due to the reduction of the Company's average outstanding debt balance as a result of the conversion of its term loan into a fully revolving facility in March 2024 as well as the repayment of its last remaining finance lease facility in June 2024.

The current flexibility of the Company's revolving facilities, with only $25.0 million drawn down as of June 30, 2025, has minimized the impact on the Company of the interest rate environment. Amortization of deferred finance fees for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.3 million, consistent with $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Gain on Extinguishment of Finance Leases. The Company recorded no gain or loss on extinguishment of finance leases during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gain on extinguishment of finance leases for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.4 million and related to the early prepayment of the finance lease related to the exercises by the Company of the vessel purchase options for the Ardmore Seawolf and Ardmore Seahawk in June 2024.听

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $243.3 million in liquidity available, with cash and cash equivalents of $49.5 million (December 31, 2024: $47.0 million) and amounts available and undrawn under its revolving credit facilities of $193.8 million (December 31, 2024: $196.4 million).

CO₂ Emissions Reporting⁽¹⁾

In April 2018, the International Maritime Organization's ("IMO") Marine Environment Protection Committee ("MEPC") adopted an initial strategy for the reduction of greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions from ships, setting out a vision to reduce GHG emissions from international shipping and phase them out as soon as possible. Ardmore is committed to transparency and contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions in the Company's industry. Ardmore's reporting methodology is in line with the framework set out within the IMO's Data Collection System ("DCS") initiated in 2019.听

On January 1, 2023, the BIMCO CII Operations Clause for Time Charter Parties came into force. This clause outlines that the charterer should take responsibility for a ship's emissions. On this basis, Ardmore's GHG emissions analysis has been updated to exclude the impact of ships time-chartered out and to include the impact of ships time-chartered in. Previously all vessels were included in Ardmore's analysis from the fleet except for vessels commercially managed by Ardmore.

Ardmore Performance

It should be noted that results vary quarter to quarter depending on ship activity, ballast / laden ratio, cargo carried, weather, waiting time, time in port, and vessel speed. However, analysis is also presented on a trailing 12-month basis to provide a more accurate assessment of Ardmore's progress over a longer period and to mitigate seasonality. From a weather perspective rougher weather (based on Beaufort Scale wind force rating being greater than 4 BF) will generally have a mitigating impact on the ability to optimize fuel consumption, while idle time will impact ships metrics as they will still require power to run but will not be moving. Overall Ardmore Shipping's carbon emissions for the trailing 12-month period decreased by 7.1% from 424,690 metric tons to 394,356 metric tons of CO2, due to a decrease in distance travelled. Fleet EEOI for the period increased from 12.40 g / ctm to 12.53 g / ctm, primarily due to a decrease in ton-miles and an increase in idle time, while AER increased from 6.07g / tm to 6.13 g / tm due to an increase in shorter voyages. Ardmore seeks to achieve continued improvements through a combination of technological advancements and operational optimization.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA + vessel lease expense component (i.e., EBITDAR) and Adjusted EBITDAR

EBITDAR is defined as EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest, unrealized gains/(losses) on interest rate derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization) plus the vessel lease expense component of total charter hire expense for chartered-in vessels. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as EBITDAR before certain items that Ardmore believes are not representative of its operating performance, including gain or loss on sale of vessels.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized total charter hire expense of $5.7 million in respect of time charter-in vessels under operating leases. The total expense includes (i) $2.7 million in respect of the right to use the leased assets (i.e., vessel lease expense component), and (ii) $3.0 million in respect of the costs of operating the vessels (i.e. operating expense component). Under U.S. GAAP, the expense related to the right to use the leased assets (i.e. capital component) is treated as an operating item on our consolidated statement of operations, and is not added back in our calculation of EBITDA. The treatment of operating lease expenses differs under U.S. GAAP as compared to international financial reporting standards ("IFRS"). Under IFRS, the expense of an operating lease is presented in depreciation and interest expense.听

Many companies in our industry report under IFRS; we therefore use EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR as tools to compare our valuation with the valuation of these other companies in our industry. We do not use EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR as measures of performance or liquidity. We present below听reconciliations of net income / (loss) attributable to common stockholders to EBITDAR (which includes an adjustment for vessel lease operating expenses) and Adjusted EBITDAR.

EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR, as presented, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. In addition, EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as measures of overall performance since they exclude vessel rent, which is a normal, recurring cash operating expense related to our in-chartering of vessels that is necessary to operate our business. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings (for purposes of dividend calculations)

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings are not measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are defined and reconciled below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before certain items that Ardmore believes are not representative of its operating performance, including gain or loss on sale of vessels, gain on extinguishment, unrealized gains/(losses) on derivatives and profit/(loss) on equity method investments. Adjusted earnings excludes certain items from net income attributable to common stockholders, including gain or loss on sale of vessels and write-off of deferred finance fees (i.e., loss on extinguishment) because they are considered to not be representative of the Company's operating performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings are presented in this press release as the Company believes that they provide investors with a means of evaluating and understanding how Ardmore's management evaluates operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA increase the comparability of the Company's fundamental performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of interest expense, taxes, depreciation or amortization, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. The Company believes that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings as financial and operating measures assists investors in making investment decisions regarding the Company and its common stock.

For purposes solely of the quarterly common dividend calculation, Adjusted earnings represents the Company's Adjusted earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, but excluding the impact of unrealized gains / (losses) and certain non-recurring items.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
