The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. This document includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking statements." We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. This report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forwardlooking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and the differences can be material. When used in this document, the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "seek," "plan," "potential," "continue," "contemplate," "possible," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "might," "would," "could" and similar expressions, terms, or phrases may identify forwardlooking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and our future financial results and readers should not place undue reliance on them. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to important factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this report, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause our actual results and developments to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include:
reputational risks;
availability of skilled workers and the related labor costs and related costs;
This management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition may contain assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as forward-looking statements. The Company may also from time to time make forward-looking statements in other documents and reports that are filed with or submitted to the SEC, in other information sent to the Company's security holders, and in other written materials. The Company also cautions that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and the differences can be material. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forwardlooking statement contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
The following presentation of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto which are included herein, the discussion included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 21, 2025 and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. We have a fiscal year end of December 31. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, or IAS 34. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated. Any amounts converted from another non-U.S. currency to U.S. Dollars in this report are at the rate applicable at the relevant date or the average rate during the applicable period or to the extent it relates to the balance sheet at the balance sheet date.
As used herein, "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" all refer to Scorpio Tankers Inc. and its subsidiaries. The term "Scorpio Pools" refers to the spot market-oriented pools of similarly sized vessels which are operated by companies affiliated with us.
We are a provider of marine transportation of petroleum products worldwide. As of August 28, 2025, we owned or lease financed 99 product tankers (38 LR2, 47 MR and 14 Handymax) that have a weighted average age of 9.4 years, which we refer to collectively as our Operating Fleet.

On July 29, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend \$0.40 per common share, which is to be paid on August 29, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of August 13, 2025.
In August 2025, we entered into an agreement to bareboat charter-out the MR product tanker, STI Bosphorus, at a bareboat rate of \$13,150 per day. The vessel will be chartered to a third-party joint venture which will re-flag the vessel to the United States in order for it to participate in the U.S. Government's Tanker Security Program ("TSP"). The contract will remain in effect until the vessel reaches 20 years of age, which will occur in 2037, subject to annual renewal within the National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA"). The charter commenced in August 2025.
As a condition to entering into this bareboat charter agreement, we repaid the debt outstanding relating to this vessel of \$12.65 million on the 2023 \$1.0 Billion Credit Facility in July 2025. This prepayment consisted of \$3.45 million on the term portion of the loan and \$9.2 million on the drawn revolving portion, which cannot be redrawn.
In July 2025, we submitted notice to exercise the purchase option on the LR2 product tanker, STI Symphony, that is financed under this arrangement. This vessel is scheduled to be purchased in February 2026 when the remaining lease liability is scheduled to be \$18.9 million.
We generate revenues by charging customers for the transportation of their refined oil and other petroleum products using our vessels. Historically, these services generally have been provided under the following basic types of contractual relationships:
For all types of vessels in contractual relationships, we are responsible for crewing and other vessel operating costs for our owned, lease financed or bareboat chartered-in vessels and for the charterhire expense for vessels that we time or bareboat charter-in.
The table below illustrates the primary distinctions among these different employment arrangements:

Please see our fleet list for a description of the employment arrangement for each of our vessels.
Our vessels are commercially managed by SCM and technically managed by SSM pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth under a revised master agreement which was effective as of January 1, 2024 (the "2024 Revised Master Agreement"). The 2024 Revised Master Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 24 months' notice, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the 2024 Revised Master Agreement. In the event of the sale of one or more vessels, a notice period of three months and a payment equal to three months of management fees will apply, provided that the termination does not amount to a change in control, including a sale of all or substantially all of our vessels, in which case a payment equal to 24 months of management fees will apply. SCM and SSM are related parties of ours. We expect that additional vessels that we may acquire in the future will also be managed under the 2024 Revised Master Agreement or on substantially similar terms.
SCM's services include securing employment, in the spot market and on time charters, for our vessels. SCM also manages the Scorpio Pools. Under the 2018 Revised Master Agreement, during the period from January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024, when our vessels were operating in one of the Scorpio Pools, SCM, the pool manager, charged fees of \$250 per vessel per day with respect to our LR2 vessels, and \$325 per vessel per day with respect to each of our Handymax and MR vessels, plus a 1.50% commission on gross revenues per charter fixture. Under the 2024 Revised Master Agreement, effective July 1, 2024, commercial management fees on vessels operating in one of the Scorpio Pools increased to \$285 per vessel per day with respect to our LR2 vessels, and \$360 per vessel per day with respect to each of our Handymax and MR vessels. These were the same fees that SCM charged other vessel owners in these pools, including third-party owned vessels. For commercial management of our vessels that were not operating in any of the Scorpio Pools we pay SCM a fee of \$285 per vessel per day for each LR1 and LR2 vessel and \$335 per vessel per day for each Handymax and MR vessel, plus 1.25% commission on gross revenues per charter fixture.
SSM's services include day-to-day vessel operations, performing general maintenance, monitoring regulatory and classification society compliance, customer vetting procedures, supervising the maintenance and general efficiency of vessels, arranging the hiring of qualified officers and crew, arranging and supervising drydocking and repairs, purchasing supplies, spare parts and new equipment for vessels, appointing supervisors and technical consultants and providing technical support.
Under the 2024 Revised Master Agreement we pay SSM an annual fee of \$187,500 plus additional amounts for certain itemized services per vessel to provide technical management services for each of our owned or bareboat chartered vessels.
We have an Amended Administrative Services Agreement ("ASA") with Scorpio Services Holding Limited ("SSH", or our "Administrator"), for the provision of administrative staff and office space, and administrative services, including accounting, legal compliance, financial and information technology services. SSH is a related party to us. We reimburse our Administrator for the reasonable direct or indirect expenses it incurs in providing us with the administrative services described above. The services provided to us by our Administrator may be sub-contracted to other entities within the Scorpio group of companies.
Further, pursuant to our ASA, our Administrator, on behalf of itself and other entities within the Scorpio group of companies, has agreed that it will not directly own product or crude tankers ranging in size from 35,000 dwt to 200,000 dwt.
Our ASA may be terminated by us upon two years' notice.
We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts including the following:
Vessel revenues. Vessel revenues primarily include revenues from time and bareboat charters, pool revenues and voyage charters (in the spot market). Vessel revenues are affected by pool, spot and time charter rates and the number of days a vessel operates. Vessel revenues are also affected by the mix of business between vessels on time charter, vessels in pools, and vessels operating on voyage charter. Revenues from vessels in pools and on voyage charter are more volatile, as they are typically tied to prevailing market rates.
Voyage charters. Voyage charters or spot voyages are charters under which the customer pays a transportation charge for the movement of a specific cargo between two or more specified ports. We pay all of the voyage expenses for these types of charters.
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses primarily include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, cargo handling operations and brokerage commissions paid by us under voyage charters. These expenses are subtracted from voyage charter revenues to calculate TCE revenues.
Vessel operating costs. For our owned, lease financed or bareboat chartered-in vessels, where applicable, we are responsible for vessel operating costs, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils, communication expenses, and technical management fees. The two largest components of our vessel operating costs are crew costs, and repairs and maintenance. Expenses for repairs and maintenance tend to fluctuate from period to period because most repairs and maintenance typically occur during periodic drydockings. Please read "Drydocking" below. We expect these expenses to increase as our fleet matures and to the extent that it expands.
Additionally, these costs include technical management fees that we paid to SSM, a related party which is controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family. Pursuant to our Master Agreement, SSM provides us with technical services, and we provide them with the ability to subcontract technical management of our vessels.
Charterhire. Charterhire is the amount we pay the owner for time or bareboat chartered-in vessels. The amount is usually for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on inflation, interest rates, or current market rates. Time or bareboat chartered-in vessels are accounted for pursuant to IFRS 16 - Leases.
The responsibility for vessel operating expenses for the different types of charter agreements are as follows:
Drydocking. We periodically drydock each of our owned or lease financed vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, each vessel is drydocked every 30 to 60 months. We capitalize a substantial portion of the costs incurred during drydocking and amortize those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. We
immediately expense costs for routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets. The number of drydockings undertaken in a given period and the nature of the work performed determine the level of drydocking expenditures.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense typically consists of:
TCE revenue or rates. We report TCE revenue, a non-IFRS measure, because (i) we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues and voyage expenses, the most directly comparable IFRS measures, (ii) it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance, (iii) it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods, and (iv) we believe that it presents useful information to investors. TCE revenue is vessel revenue less voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges. The TCE rate achieved on a given voyage is expressed in U.S. dollars per day and is generally calculated by taking TCE revenue and dividing that figure by the number of revenue days in the period.
The following table reflects our daily TCE, vessel operating expenses and drydock expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. For a reconciliation of TCE revenue, deduct voyage expenses from revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. See the section below entitled "Results of Operations" for the reconciliation of these amounts.

Revenue days. Revenue days are the total number of calendar days our vessels were in our possession during a period, less the total number of off-hire days during the period associated with major repairs or drydockings. Consequently, revenue days represent the total number of days available for the vessel to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in revenue days. We use revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.
Average number of vessels. Historical average number of owned or lease financed vessels consists of the average number of vessels that were in our possession during a period. We use average number of vessels primarily to highlight changes in vessel operating costs and depreciation and amortization.

A contract of affreightment, or COA, relates to the carriage of specific quantities of cargo with multiple voyages over the same route and over a specific period of time which usually spans a number of years. A COA does not designate the specific vessels or voyage schedules that will transport the cargo, thereby providing both the charterer and shipowner greater operating flexibility than with voyage charters alone. The charterer has the flexibility to determine the individual voyage scheduling at a future date while the shipowner may use different vessels to perform these individual voyages. As a result, COAs are mostly entered into by large fleet operators, such as pools or shipowners with large fleets of the same vessel type. We pay the voyage expenses while the freight rate normally is agreed on a per cargo ton basis.
Commercial pools. To increase vessel utilization and revenues, we participate in commercial pools with other shipowners and operators of similar modern, well-maintained vessels. By operating a large number of vessels as an integrated transportation system, commercial pools offer customers greater flexibility and a higher level of service while achieving scheduling efficiencies. Pools employ experienced commercial charterers and operators who have close working relationships with customers and brokers, while technical management is performed by each shipowner. Pools negotiate charters with customers primarily in the spot market but may also arrange time charter agreements. The size and scope of these pools are intended to enable them to enhance utilization rates for pool vessels by securing backhaul voyages and COAs, thus generating higher effective TCE revenue than otherwise might be obtainable in the spot market while providing a higher level of service offerings to customers.
Operating days. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to the owned, lease financed, or bareboat chartered-in vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to our owned, lease financed or bareboat chartered-in vessels, not our time charteredin vessels.
You should consider the following factors when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects:
Our vessel revenues are affected by cyclicality in the tanker markets. The cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases or decreases in the revenue we earn from our vessels, particularly those vessels we trade in the spot market or spot market-oriented pools. We employ a chartering strategy to capture upside opportunities in the spot market while using fixed-rate time charters to reduce downside risks, depending on our outlook for freight rates, oil tanker market conditions and global economic conditions. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability due to changes in the supply of, and demand for, tanker capacity. The supply of tanker capacity is influenced by the number and size of
new vessels built, vessels scrapped, converted and lost, the number of vessels that are out of service, and regulations that may effectively cause early obsolescence of tonnage. The demand for tanker capacity is influenced by, among other factors:
Tanker rates also fluctuate based on seasonal variations in demand. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere but weaker in the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and refinery maintenance that is typically conducted in the summer months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months in the northern hemisphere tend to disrupt vessel routing and scheduling. The oil price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result, revenues generated by our vessels have historically been weaker during the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger during the quarters ended March 31 and December 31.
Our expenses are affected by the fees we pay SCM, SSM, and SSH for commercial management, technical management and administrative services, respectively. SCM, SSM and SSH, companies controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family of which our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President are members, provide commercial, technical and administrative management services to us, respectively. We pay fees under our 2024 Revised Master Agreement with SCM and SSM for our vessels that operate both within and outside of the Scorpio Pools. When our vessels are operating in one of the Scorpio Pools effective July 1, 2024, SCM, the pool manager, charges fees of \$285 per vessel per day with respect to our LR2 vessels (\$250 per vessel per day prior to July 1, 2024), and \$360 per vessel per day with respect to each of our Handymax and MR vessels (\$335 per vessel per day prior to July 1, 2024), plus 1.50% commission on gross revenues per charter fixture. For commercial management of our vessels that are not operating in any of the Scorpio Pools, effective January 1, 2024, we pay SCM a fee of \$285 per vessel per day for each LR2 vessel and \$335 per vessel per day for each Handymax and MR vessel, plus 1.25% commission on gross revenues per charter fixture.
Pursuant to the 2024 Revised Master Agreement, the fixed annual technical management fee that we pay to SSM was increased from \$175,000 per vessel to \$187,500, effective January 1, 2024 plus additional costs for certain itemized services.
We also reimburse SSH for direct or indirect expenses it incurs in providing us with the administrative services described above.

Net income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$131.7 million, a decrease of \$309.8 million, or 70%, from net income of \$441.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The differences between the two periods are discussed below.
Vessel revenue. Vessel revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$444.2 million, a decrease of \$327.8 million, or 42%, from \$772.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Consolidated TCE revenue per day decreased to \$24,779 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$39,241 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average number of vessels was 99.0 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 109.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 declined as compared to the same period in the previous year. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, market conditions were favorable as underlying consumption of refined petroleum products was growing and export volumes were robust. These favorable conditions were amplified by elevated freight rates, as security threats in the Southern Red Sea prompted much of the global fleet to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, increasing demand for longer-haul voyages. This disruption primarily benefited our LR2 vessels operating on long-haul routes, with MR and Handymax vessels also gaining from broader market dislocation. While the situation in the Southern Red Sea remains unresolved, as of the date of this report, supply chains for refined petroleum products have adjusted to the change in trading patterns, and the resultant spikes in daily spot TCE rates caused by the initial disruption normalized. This has led to a reduction in TCE revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Daily TCE revenue by operating segment is discussed below.

(1) We report TCE revenues (as defined above, in the section entitled Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts), a non-IFRS measure, because (i) we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues and voyage expenses, the most directly comparable IFRS measures, (ii) it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance, (iii) it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods, and (iv) we believe that it presents useful information to investors. To arrive at daily TCE, we deduct voyage expenses from vessel revenue for each operating segment and then divide that figure by the number of revenue days in each period.
MR pool and spot market revenue. MR pool and spot market revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$151.4 million, a decrease of \$177.2 million, or 54% from \$328.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a decrease in pool and spot market revenue days to 7,237 days from 9,102 days for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This decrease resulted from the sale of 6 MR vessels since July 1, 2024. While low global inventories and increased seaborne exports supported strong MR rates during the six months ended June 30, 2025, reduced spill-over impacts from the Red Sea disruption and softer refining margins resulted in lower rates compared to the same period last year. As a result, daily pool and spot market TCE revenue decreased to \$20,447 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$35,996 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
LR2 pool and spot market revenue. LR2 pool and spot market revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$157.6 million, a decrease of \$130.6 million, or 45%, from \$288.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the LR2 product tanker market experienced elevated freight rates and stronger demand for long-haul voyages, as widespread rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope disrupted traditional trade lanes following security threats in the Red Sea. While these conditions initially triggered a spike in spot TCE rates, by the six months ended June 30, 2025, trade flows and refined product supply chains had largely adjusted. Despite the continued instability in the region, market conditions normalized and daily pool and spot market TCE revenue decreased significantly to \$31,674 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$55,041 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
There was also a decrease in LR2 pool and spot market revenue days to 4,738 days from 5,201 days during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to the sale of one LR2 vessel and our drydocking schedule.
Handymax pool and spot market revenue. Handymax pool and spot market revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$52.9 million, a decrease of \$25.3 million, or 32%, from \$78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the average daily pool and spot market TCE revenue for our Handymax vessels decreased to \$20,382 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$30,245 per day during the during the six months ended June 30, 2024. These vessels also benefited from a spill-over effect due to the conditions in the Red Sea during the six months ended June 30, 2024 which have since normalized leading to a decline in daily pool and spot market TCE revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
This decrease was also partially due to a reduction in revenue days to 2,408 days from 2,512 revenue days during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was the result of STI Battersea entering a time charter-out agreement in April 2025.
Time charter-out revenue. Time charter-out revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$82.2 million, an increase of \$5.3 million, or 7%, from \$76.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our vessels were time chartered out for a total of 2,855 days compared to 2,636 days during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The terms of our vessels that are on time charter-out arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2025 are summarized as follows:
| Vessel | Vessel class | Term | Rate (\$ / day) | Commencement date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STI Gratitude (1) | LR2 | Three years | \$31,000 | May 2022 |

Vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were \$139.3 million, a decrease of \$18.1 million, or 11%, from \$157.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a decrease in operating days to 17,919 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 19,977 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in vessel operating costs was driven by a decrease in the average number of vessels as a result of the sales of 12 vessels throughout 2024. On a per day basis, vessel operating costs decreased to \$7,776 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$7,879 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This improvement was driven by lower costs for repairs and maintenance and spares and stores. Vessel operating expenses, by operating segment, are discussed below.

MR vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for MR vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were \$62.9 million, a decrease of \$13.9 million, or 18%, from \$76.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of the reduction in the average number of MR product tankers in our fleet as a result of the sales of six MR vessels since July 1, 2024. Daily vessel operating costs decreased slightly to \$7,396 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$7,430 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This improvement was driven by lower costs for repairs and maintenance and spares and stores.
LR2 vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for LR2 vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were \$58.2 million, a decrease of \$4.0 million, or 6%, from \$62.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. On a per day basis operating costs decreased to \$8,465 per day from \$8,768 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This improvement was driven by lower costs for repairs and maintenance and spares and stores.
Handymax vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for Handymax vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were \$18.2 million, a slight decrease of \$0.2 million, or 1%, from \$18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Daily operating costs for our Handymax vessels remained flat at \$7,181 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and \$7,216 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses were \$17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of \$8.5 million, or 97%, from \$8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily driven by our compliance with the European Emissions Trading System ("EU ETS") which was expanded to the maritime industry as of January 1, 2024. Under the EU ETS requirements, we acquire EU allowances ("EUAs") related to greenhouse gas emissions from our vessels that trade to, from, and within the EU and European Economic Area. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred \$9.6 million of expense related to the acquisition of EUAs as compared to \$5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was the result of more calls on European ports during the period.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, voyage expenses also included bunker consumption of \$2.4 million, commission expenses of \$2.0 million, port and agency expenses of \$0.7 million, and other voyage related expenses of \$2.5 million. Voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of bunker consumption of \$0.4 million, commission expenses of \$1.8 million, port and agency expenses of \$0.1 million, and other voyage related expenses of \$1.3 million. The increase in bunker consumption is attributable to an increase in the number of vessels trading in the spot market during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Depreciation - owned or sale leaseback vessels. Depreciation expense on owned or sale leaseback vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was \$90.0 million, a decrease of \$4.6 million, or 5%, from \$94.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was due to a reduction in the average number of vessels in our fleet as a result of the sales of six vessels since July 1, 2024, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense resulting from recently completed drydocks.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were \$58.1 million, a decrease of \$9.1 million, or 13% from \$67.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in both cash and non-cash compensation expenses.
Gain on sales of vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we closed on the sales of three MR vessels resulting in aggregate gains of \$54.7 million.
Financial expenses. Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were \$40.9 million, a decrease of \$29.4 million, or 42%, from \$70.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was attributable to the overall reduction in interest expense on our secured debt and sale leaseback arrangements resulting from our focus on deleveraging during these periods. Our average debt decreased to \$962.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from \$1.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of interest expense of \$35.2 million, write-offs of deferred financing fees and debt extinguishment costs of \$2.1 million, and amortization of deferred financing fees of \$3.6 million.
Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of interest expense of \$56.5 million, write-offs of deferred financing fees and debt extinguishment costs of \$8.1 million, and amortization of deferred financing fees of \$5.7 million.
Dividend income and fair value gain on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net includes \$3.6 million of dividends received and a gain of \$17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the investment in DHT Holdings Inc. ("DHT"). During the year ended December 31, 2024, we invested \$89.1 million for a passive, minority interest in DHT, a publicly traded crude tanker shipping company. We purchased 7,982,480 common shares in DHT in the open market at an average price of \$11.17 per share during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased an additional 4,295,218 common shares of DHT at an average price of \$10.67 per share and sold 3,445,218 common shares of DHT at an average price of \$12.05 per share. This carrying value of this investment is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period and anytime a sale occurs. Therefore, the fair value gain recognized during the six months reflects the gains realized upon the sales and the unrealized gain recorded at the end of the period for the remaining shares that are held for trading.
We began purchasing shares in DHT in the second half of 2024 and therefore, there were no dividends or gains in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Our revenues are earned via the seaborne transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the international shipping markets. We have benefited from a cyclical uptrend in the product tanker market over the past few years. The cash flows generated during these years have enabled us to accumulate liquidity, repay debt and deleverage our balance sheet.
Our primary source of funds for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs will be the cash flows generated from our vessels, which primarily operate in the Scorpio Pools, in the spot market, or on time charter, in addition to cash on hand. The Scorpio Pools generally reduce volatility because (i) they aggregate the revenues and expenses of all pool participants and distribute net earnings to the participants based on an agreed upon formula and (ii) some of the vessels in the pool are on time charter. Furthermore, spot charters provide flexibility and allow us to fix vessels at prevailing rates.
We currently project that we will have adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet our financial commitments (including but not limited to debt service obligations and obligations under sale and leaseback arrangements) for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.
At June 30, 2025, our cash balance was \$471.1 million, an increase of \$138.5 million from our cash balance of \$332.6 million as of December 31, 2024. We also had \$838.2 million of undrawn revolving credit capacity at that date. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we executed the 2025 \$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility, which remains undrawn, and placed \$200.0 million of new senior unsecured bonds in the Nordic bond market (the "Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030"). We also (i) redeemed the \$70.6 million outstanding under our Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025 in March 2025, (ii) prepaid \$50.0 million on our 2023 \$225.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility (we have the ability to re-borrow the prepayment at amounts reducing by \$4.5 million per quarter starting in July 2025) and (iii) submitted notice to exercise the purchase options on three vessels that are currently financed through sale and leaseback arrangements. Two of the vessels, STI Guard and STI Gallantry, are scheduled to be purchased in December 2025 and the third vessel, STI Symphony, is scheduled to be purchased in February 2026.
We do not have any other debt or lease financing arrangements that are scheduled to mature or expire within twelve months from the date of this report.
We continuously evaluate potential transactions that we believe would be accretive to earnings, enhance shareholder value, or that would be in the best interests of the Company, which may include the pursuit of business combinations, the acquisition of vessels or related businesses, the sale of vessels, the expansion of our operations, repayment of existing debt, share repurchases, short-term investments or other uses. In connection with any transaction, we may enter into additional financing arrangements, refinance existing arrangements or raise capital through public or private debt or equity offerings of our securities. Any funds raised by us may be used for any corporate purpose. There is no guarantee that we will grow the size of our fleet or enter into transactions that are accretive to our shareholders.
Our long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2025 primarily consisted of our debt repayment obligations for our secured credit facilities, sale and leaseback arrangements and unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030.

The change in working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable which was due to strong market conditions leading to an increase in accounts receivable at June 30, 2024. Accounts receivable due from the Scorpio Pools are generally driven by market conditions in the months preceding the end of the period, since all revenues, except time charters, are paid in arrears.

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into agreements to sell nine MR product tankers. The sales of three of these vessels closed during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The remaining sales closed in the third quarter of 2024.
(2) During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased 4,295,218 common shares of DHT at an average price of \$10.67 per share and sold 3,445,218 common shares of DHT at an average price of \$12.05 per share. We received dividends of \$3.6 million from this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
(3) In August 2021, we acquired a minority interest in a portfolio of nine product tankers, consisting of five dual-fuel MR methanol tankers (built between 2016 and 2021) which, in addition to traditional petroleum products, are designed to both carry methanol as a cargo and to consume it as a fuel, along with four ice class 1A LR1 product tankers (three of which were subsequently sold). During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made an additional contribution of \$1.9 million to the joint venture to increase the joint venture's ownership interest in an additional vessel.
The joint venture issued cash distributions of \$1.8 million and \$1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(4) Drydock and BWTS payments represent the cash paid for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for the drydocking of our vessels, and payments made as part of the agreements to purchase and install BWTS (during 2024). See the below section entitled "Capital Expenditures," for further discussion on vessels that were drydocked during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

We refer to Note 11 and Note 20 of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 6-K for further details on our secured credit facilities, sale and leaseback liabilities and unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025.
Our secured credit facilities may be secured by, among other things:
Our debt and lease financing agreements may require us to comply with a number of covenants, including financial covenants related to liquidity, consolidated net worth, maximum leverage ratios, loan to value ratios and collateral maintenance, informational requirements, including the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and annual projections, and restrictive covenants, including maintenance of adequate insurances; compliance with laws (including environmental); compliance with the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act; maintenance of flag and class of the vessels; restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets; approvals on changes in the manager of the vessels; limitations on liens; limitations on additional indebtedness; prohibitions on paying dividends if a covenant breach or an event of default has occurred or would occur as a result of payment of a dividend; prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and other customary covenants. Furthermore, our debt and lease financing agreements contain cross-default provisions, as well as subjective acceleration clauses under which the debt could become due and payable in the event of a material adverse change in the Company's business.
We were in compliance with all covenants relating to our borrowings as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes our outstanding indebtedness as of June 30, 2025 and August 28, 2025. The balances set forth below reflect the principal amounts due under each facility or lease financing arrangement as of each date and do not reflect any: (i) unamortized deferred financing fees and (ii) discounts / premiums attributable to the debt, either assumed in a business combination that was recorded as part of the purchase price allocation or as part of the market issuance of a security.

(2) Drydocks completed in 2025 includes 44 off-hire days from drydocks which commenced in 2024. Cost includes additional amounts and adjustments to amounts accrued for drydocks completed in prior periods.
As our fleet ages, our drydock expenses will likely increase. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations and society classification survey costs are a component of our vessel operating costs. We are not currently aware of any regulatory changes or environmental liabilities that we anticipate will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

(1) Represents principal payments due on our secured credit facilities and sale and leaseback arrangements, as described above in the Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements section of this report. These payments are based on our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2025, and do not include financing activity that occurred subsequent to this date, as described above in the section entitled Recent Developments.
(2) Represents estimated interest payments on our secured credit facilities and sale and leaseback arrangements and commitment fees on our undrawn facilities. These payments were estimated by taking into consideration: (i) the margin on each credit facility; (ii) the forward interest rate curve calculated from interest swap rates, as published by a third party, as of June 30, 2025; and (iii) commitment fees on available revolving credit.
The forward curve was calculated as follows as of June 30, 2025:
| Year 1 | 3.87 % |
|---|---|
| Year 2 | 3.17 % |
| Year 3 | 3.22 % |
| Year 4 | 3.48 % (A) |
| Year 5 | 3.51 % |
| Year 6 | 3.74 % (A) |
| Year 7 | 3.84 % |
| Year 8 | 3.97 % (A) |
| Year 9 | 4.08 % (A) |
| Year 10 | 4.19 % |
(A) Third party published interest swap rates were unavailable. As such, we interpolated these rates using the averages of the years in which swap rates were published.
Interest was estimated using the rates mentioned above multiplied by the amounts outstanding under our various credit facilities using the balance as of June 30, 2025 and taking into consideration the scheduled amortization of such facilities going forward until their respective maturities. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted-average margin on our variable rate financing was (i) 1.92% on our secured credit facilities, and (ii) 4.68% on our sale and leaseback liabilities.
These fees are subject to a notice period of three months and a payment equal to three months of management fees which would be due and payable upon the sale of a vessel, so long as such termination does not amount to a change of control of the Company, including a sale of all or substantially all vessels, in which case, a payment equal to 24 months of management fees will apply.
As of June 30, 2025, we have no material off balance sheet arrangements.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our unhedged variable-rate borrowings and leases. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service our debt. From time to time, we will use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our variable-rate debt and are not for speculative or trading purposes.
Based on the floating rate debt at June 30, 2025, a one-percentage point increase in the floating interest rate would increase interest expense by \$7.2 million per year. The following table presents the due dates for the principal payments on our fixed and floating rate debt:

The cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases or decreases in the revenue that we earn from our vessels, particularly those vessels that operate in the spot market or participate in pools that are concentrated in the spot market such as the Scorpio Pools. We currently have 17 vessels employed on time charter contracts with initial terms of two years or greater. Additionally, we have the ability to remove our vessels from the Scorpio Pools on relatively short notice if attractive time charter opportunities arise. A \$1,000 per day increase or decrease in spot rates for all of our vessel classes would have increased or decreased our operating income by \$14.4 million and \$16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our primary economic environment is the international shipping market. This market utilizes the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Consequently, virtually all of our revenues and the majority of our operating expenses are in U.S. dollars. However, we incur some of our combined expenses in other currencies, particularly the Euro. The amount and frequency of some of these expenses (such as vessel repairs, supplies and stores) may fluctuate from period to period. Depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies will increase the U.S. dollar cost of us paying such expenses. The portion of our business conducted in other currencies could increase in the future, which could expand our exposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations.
There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on our cash flows. We have not entered into any hedging contracts to protect against currency fluctuations. However, we have some ability to shift the purchase of goods and services from one country to another and, thus, from one currency to another, on relatively short notice. We may seek to hedge this currency fluctuation risk in the future.
Our operating results are affected by movement in the price of fuel oil consumed by our vessels – known in the industry as bunkers. The price and supply of fuel is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by OPEC and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns. Further, fuel may become much more expensive in the future, which may reduce profitability. We do not hedge our exposure to bunker price risk.
High inflation in the United States and in many of the global economies where our vessels operate has impacted vessel operating costs, which include crew, travel, equipment, spares and drydocking costs, and voyage expenses, which includes the cost of fuel (i.e. bunkers). For the vessels that are time chartered-out, fuel is paid by the charterer. There is a risk that inflation will have a negative effect on our future operating costs should these trends persist.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. For a description of all of our material accounting policies, see Note 1, under the section entitled "Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty," to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, which was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025. Also see Note 1, under the section entitled "Adoption of new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations" to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any changes or updates to our critical accounting policies for the current period.

Scorpio Tankers Inc. and its subsidiaries (together "we", "our" or the "Company") are engaged in the seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products in the international shipping markets. Scorpio Tankers Inc. was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on July 1, 2009. On April 6, 2010, we closed on our initial public offering, and our common stock currently trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol STNG.
Our fleet as of June 30, 2025 consisted of 99 owned or sale and leaseback product tankers (38 LR2, 47 MR and 14 Handymax).
Our vessels are commercially managed by Scorpio Commercial Management S.A.M., or SCM, which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family of which Mr. Emanuele Lauro, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Filippo Lauro, our Vice President, are members. SCM's services include securing employment for our vessels in pools, in the spot market, and on time charters.
Our vessels are technically managed by Scorpio Ship Management S.A.M., or SSM, which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family. SSM facilitates vessel support such as crew, provisions, deck and engine stores, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and other services necessary to operate the vessels such as drydocks and vetting/inspection under a technical management agreement.
We also have an administrative services agreement with Scorpio Services Holding Limited, or SSH, which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family. The administrative services provided under this agreement primarily include accounting, legal compliance, financial, information technology services, and the provision of administrative staff and office space, which are contracted to subsidiaries of SSH. We pay our managers fees for these services and reimburse them for direct or indirect expenses that they incur in providing these services.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars ("USD" or "\$"), which is the functional currency of Scorpio Tankers Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, or IAS 34, Interim Financial Statements, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, using the same accounting policies as adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards or IFRS.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern basis of accounting as described further in the "Liquidity risk" section of Note 20.
Amendments to IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability - The amendments clarified how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking, as well as required the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. The effective date was for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
The adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
European Union Allowance ("EUA") relate to our compliance with the European Emissions Trading System ("EU ETS") which was expanded to the maritime industry as of January 1, 2024. The EU ETS sets a cap on the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that can be emitted by covered entities, and these entities are required to purchase permits (allowances) for their emissions. Under the EU ETS requirements, EUAs must be obtained (either purchased in the open market, or remitted by the customer) to offset the greenhouse gas emissions from our vessels that trade to, from, and within the European Union and European Economic Area and submit these allowances to regulators as proof of compliance. These allowances must be obtained for all of our vessels, regardless of the type of employment (time charter, pool, or spot voyage). We are required to surrender EUAs through each vessel's Maritime Operating Holding account in September of the year following the end of the reporting period to cover each vessels' emissions during each annual reporting period. While the costs are generally passed along to the customer, they are accounted for as separate components:
• The costs of EUAs are recognized as incurred and are recorded as part of voyage expenses.
• Costs that are rebilled to the customer in accordance with the contractual provisions of the charter party agreement are recognized as part of revenue as the obligation to surrender EUAs is the responsibility of the vessel owner, not the charterer.
• Sometimes the customer remits the allowances directly to our Maritime Operating Holding account and other times the customer will pay in cash, the proceeds of which are used to purchase the requisite number of EUAs in the spot market.
• EUAs that have either been remitted by the customer or purchased in the open market are recorded as part inventory on the balance sheet. This inventory is measured at cost. A corresponding liability is recorded within accounts payable expenses on the balance sheet.
• The inventory is utilized, and the liability is relieved when the EUAs are surrendered to cover each vessels' emissions during each annual reporting period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased 4,295,218 common shares of DHT Holdings Inc. ("DHT") at an average price of \$10.67 per share and sold 3,445,218 common shares of DHT at an average price of \$12.05 per share. We received dividends of \$3.6 million from this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our business model is to hold these shares for trading. As of June 30, 2025, we owned 8,832,480 common shares of DHT, or 5.5% of the outstanding shares. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we held common stock of DHT at its fair value of \$95.5 million and \$74.2 million, respectively.

Scorpio MR Pool Limited, Scorpio LR2 Pool Limited, Scorpio Handymax Tanker Pool Limited and Mercury Pool Limited (collectively referred to as the "Scorpio Pools") are related parties, as described in Note 13. Amounts due from the Scorpio Pools relate to income receivables and receivables for working capital contributions, which are expected to be collected within one year. For all owned and lease financed vessels, we assume that these contributions will not be repaid within 12 months and are therefore considered as non-current within Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Spot voyage and time charter receivables represent amounts collectible from customers for our vessels operating on time charter or in the spot market.
Insurance receivables primarily represent amounts collectible on our insurance policies in relation to vessel repairs.
We consider that the carrying amount of accounts receivable approximates their fair value due to the relative short maturity thereof. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. Our accounts receivable mostly consist of accounts receivable from the Scorpio Pools or from vessels in the spot market or on time charter. Almost all of the accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 relates to amounts due from the Scorpio Pools, or from vessels in the spot market or on time charter. We have never experienced a historical credit loss of amounts due from the Scorpio Pools and all amounts are considered current. Accordingly, there is no reserve for expected credit losses as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

(1) Additions during the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily relate to the drydock costs incurred for our vessels that underwent special surveys during the period.
(2) Represents the write-offs of fully depreciated drydock costs on certain of our vessels.
At each balance sheet date, we review the carrying amounts of our goodwill, vessels and related drydock costs to determine if there is any indication that these amounts have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the vessels and related drydock costs is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. As part of this evaluation, we consider both internal and external indicators of potential impairment, in accordance with IAS 36. Indicators of possible impairment may include, but are not limited to, comparing the carrying amount of net assets to market capitalization, changes in interest rates, changes in the technological, market, economic, or legal environments in which we operate, changes in forecasted charter rates, and movements in external broker valuations. We also assess whether any evidence suggests the obsolescence or physical damage of our assets, whether we have any plans to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life, and whether any evidence suggests that the economic performance of an asset was, or may become, worse than expected.
At June 30, 2025, we performed an assessment to determine if any indicators of impairment exist, considering both internal and external factors as part of this assessment. We reviewed the carrying amount of our vessels to determine if there was an indication that these assets had suffered an impairment. First, we assessed the fair value less the estimated cost to sell of our vessels, taking into consideration vessel valuations from independent ship brokers. We then compared the fair value less selling costs to each vessel's carrying value and, if the carrying value exceeded the vessel's fair value less estimated selling costs, an indicator of impairment existed.
At June 30, 2025, our operating fleet consisted of 99 owned or sale and leaseback vessels. All of the vessels in our operating fleet had fair values less estimated selling costs greater than their carrying amount at this date. We also considered other internal and external factors as part of this assessment to determine if any indicators of impairment exist, as the markets in which we operate continued to experience strength during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This strength is evidenced by, among other things:
It is on this basis that we determined that there were no indications of impairment on any of our vessels as of June 30, 2025.
Goodwill arising from a previous acquisition has been allocated to the cash generating units within each of the respective operating segments that were expected to benefit from the synergies of this transaction (LR2s). The carrying value of the goodwill allocated to the LR2 segment was \$8.2 million at June 30, 2025. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested annually (or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise) by comparing the aggregate carrying amount of the cash generating units in each respective operating segment, plus the allocated goodwill, to their recoverable amounts. We determined there were no indications of goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2025 after considering both internal and external factors. This determination was made on the basis of the strength we continue to see in our markets through second-hand vessel values (as compared to the carrying values of our vessels), the operating cash flows that we generated during the period, and the time charter market.

Under the EU ETS requirements, we obtain EU allowances to offset the greenhouse gas emissions from our vessels that trade to, from, and within the European Union and European Economic Area and submit these allowances to regulators as proof of compliance annually by the due date of September 30th of each year following the year of compliance. The liability for allowances that have been incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and are not due until September 30, 2026 are classified as non-current, within Other long-term liabilities, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Other than the EUA payables, which are due September 2025, the majority of accounts payable are settled with a cash payment within 90 days. No interest is charged on accounts payable. We consider that the carrying amount of accounts payable approximates fair value.

Interest expense on all of our borrowings that has been incurred and is unpaid as of June 30, 2025 is accrued within Accrued Expenses (see Note 10).
We were in compliance with all of the financial covenants set forth on the above borrowing arrangements as of June 30, 2025. There has been no change to the covenants during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
In July 2024, we executed an agreement with the lenders on the 2023 \$225.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility (formerly, the "2023 \$225.0 Million Credit Facility") to convert this credit facility from a term loan to a revolving credit facility. This amendment gives us the flexibility to make unscheduled repayments on this facility that can be re-drawn in the future. Under the amendment, the outstanding and/or availability of the revolving credit facility will continue to amortize quarterly as scheduled.
In April 2025, we made a prepayment of \$50.0 million representing the remaining 11 remaining quarterly installment payments due under this facility, with the exception of the balloon payment due at maturity. Under the amended terms, we have the ability to reborrow the prepayment at amounts reducing by \$4.5 million per quarter starting in July 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, the amount available under the revolving credit facility was \$50.0 million.
As of June 30, 2025, the amount available under the revolving credit facility was \$288.2 million.
In February 2025, we executed a revolving credit facility of up to \$500.0 million with a group of financial institutions. The 2025 \$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is a 100% revolving loan, which has a final maturity of seven years from the signing date and gives us the flexibility to draw down or repay the loan during the loan tenor. The 2025 \$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.85% per annum for any drawn amounts and a commitment fee of 0.74% per annum applies for any undrawn amounts. The 2025 \$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by 26 product tankers (STI Hammersmith, STI Rotherhithe, STI Poplar, STI La Boca, STI Broadway, STI Winnie, STI Connaught, STI Lauren, STI Veneto, STI Fulham, STI Elysees, STI Park, STI Orchard, STI Hackney, STI Lombard, STI Comandante, STI Brixton, STI Pimlico, STI Finchley, STI Westminster, STI Pontiac, STI Black Hawk, STI Oxford, STI Selatar, STI Gramercy and STI Queens) and will amortize/reduce in quarterly installments (starting after the second anniversary of the signing date), with a balloon repayment due at maturity.
Our 2025 \$500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require us to maintain:
As of June 30, 2025, the amount available under the revolving credit facility was \$500.0 million.
In January 2025, we issued \$200.0 million of senior unsecured notes in the Nordic bond market (the "Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030"). The Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 are due to mature in January 2030 and bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of 7.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears.
Our Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 includes financial covenants that require us to maintain:
Additionally, we must maintain minimum liquidity (which includes undrawn amounts under revolving credit facilities with a remaining maturity date in excess of 12 months) of \$100.0 million after making any distributions in the form of dividends or stock repurchases.
The net proceeds from the bond issue were used for general corporate purposes, with a portion used to redeem our existing Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025.
In March 2025, we redeemed the outstanding balance of \$70.6 million of our Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025, which were scheduled to mature on June 30, 2025.
In June 2025, we submitted notice to exercise the purchase options on the two LR2 product tankers, STI Guard and STI Gallantry, which are currently financed under this arrangement. These vessels are scheduled to be purchased in December 2025, when the remaining aggregate lease liability is scheduled to be \$46.8 million.
In April 2013, we adopted an equity incentive plan, which was amended in March 2014 and which we refer to as the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, under which directors, officers, employees, consultants and service providers of us and our subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to receive incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted common stock.
Effective April 2023, our Board of Directors extended the term of 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to April 2033.
In March 2025, our Board of Directors reserved an additional 1,089,407 common shares, par value \$0.01 per share, for issuance pursuant to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. All other terms of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan remained unchanged.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we issued an aggregate of 1,099,748 shares of restricted stock to certain of our employees, SSH employees, and independent directors for no cash consideration. The share price on the issuance dates was \$34.40, and \$40.17 per share, with a weighted average cost of \$35.47 per share. The vesting schedule for these restricted shares for employees and SSH employees is (i) one-third of the shares vest on September 1, 2027, (ii) one-third of the shares vest on September 1, 2028, and (iii) one-third of the shares vest on August 31, 2029. The vesting schedule for these restricted shares for independent directors is (i) one-third of the shares vest on April 7, 2026 (ii) one-third of the shares vest on December 2, 2026, and (iii) one-third of the shares vest on December 1, 2027.
The following is a summary of activity for awards of restricted stock that have been granted under our equity incentive plan during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |

In February 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of \$0.40 per common share, which was paid on March 21, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of March 7, 2025.
In April 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of \$0.40 per common share, which was paid on June 16, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of May 30, 2025.
On July 29, 2024, our Board of Directors replenished and increased the 2023 Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an aggregate of \$400 million of the Company's securities which, in addition to common shares also consist of unsecured senior notes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased an aggregate of 6,500 of our common shares at an average price of \$47.51 per share.
There was \$173.4 million available under the 2023 Securities Repurchase Program as of June 30, 2025.
There were 26,049,209 and 26,042,709 common shares held in treasury at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, we had 51,016,290 common shares outstanding. These shares provide the holders with dividends and voting rights.
Our vessels are commercially managed by SCM and technically managed by SSM pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth under a revised master agreement which was effective as from January 1, 2018 (the "2018 Revised Master Agreement"). In 2024, certain terms of the 2018 Revised Master Agreement were amended and restated with an effective date of January 1, 2024 (the "2024 Revised Master Agreement"). The 2024 Revised Master Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 24 months' notice, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the 2024 Revised Master Agreement. In the event of the sale of one or more vessels, a notice period of three months and a payment equal to three months of management fees will apply, provided that the termination does not amount to a change in control, including a sale of all or substantially all of our vessels, in which case a payment equal to 24 months of management fees will apply. SCM and SSM are related parties of ours.
Under the 2018 Revised Master Agreement, during the period from January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024, when our vessels were operating in one of the Scorpio Pools, SCM, the pool manager, charged fees of \$250 per vessel per day with respect to our LR2 vessels, and \$325 per vessel per day with respect to each of our Handymax and MR vessels, plus a 1.50% commission on gross revenues per charter fixture. Under the 2024 Revised Master Agreement, effective July 1, 2024, commercial management fees on vessels operating in one of the Scorpio Pools increased to \$285 per vessel per day with respect to our LR2 vessels, and \$360 per vessel per day with respect to each of our Handymax and MR vessels. For vessels that are not operating in any of the Scorpio Pools, commercial management fees increased to \$285 per vessel per day for each LR2 vessel and \$335 per vessel per day for each Handymax and MR vessel on the effective date of January 1, 2024. Commissions on gross revenue per charter fixture remain unchanged at 1.50% for vessels operating in any of the Scorpio Pools and 1.25% for vessels not operating in any of the Scorpio Pools.
In addition, effective January 1, 2024, the fixed annual technical management fee payable to SSM was increased by \$12,500 to \$187,500 plus additional amounts for certain itemized services per vessel to provide technical management services for each of our owned vessels.

In August 2021, we acquired a minority interest in a portfolio of nine product tankers, which at the time consisted of five dual-fuel MR methanol tankers (built between 2016 and 2021) along with four ice class 1A LR1 product tankers (two were sold during the fourth quarter of 2021 and one was sold during the third quarter of 2024). An LR1 product tanker that is part of this joint venture is technically managed by SSM.
Pursuant to the 2024 Revised Master Agreement with SCM and SSM, in the event of the sale of one or more vessels, a notice period of three months and a payment equal to three months of commercial and technical management fees would be due and payable upon the sales of these vessels.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into agreements to sell nine MR product tankers (STI Tribeca, STI Larvotto, STI Le Rocher, STI Manhattan, STI Beryl, STI Onyx, STI Garnet, STI Ruby and STI Topaz). STI Tribeca was sold in March 2024, STI Larvotto was sold in April 2024 and STI Le Rocher was sold in May 2024. The remaining vessel sales closed in the third quarter of 2024. Termination fees of \$0.5 million and \$0.3 million were paid to SCM and SSM, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 with respect to vessel sales.
In March 2024, we entered into an agreement with Geoserve, effective January 1, 2024, which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family, to serve as our emissions manager and ensure compliance with the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Geoserve's services include, among others, emission data monitoring and correction for commercial and regulatory compliance and procurement of carbon credits from EU approved carbon traders. Under this agreement, we pay Geoserve emissions management fees of \$350 per vessel per month (plus \$150 per vessel per month for vessels time chartered-out) and a commission of 1.25% per carbon trade.
In May 2024, we entered into a licensing agreement with FOWE whereby FOWE's fuel oil-water emulsion Cavitech systems will be installed across our entire fleet. Cavitech is FOWE's proprietary technical solution that enables cavitation treatment on various materials for instantaneous mixing, heat treatment, dispersion, and alteration of chemical bonds, the benefits of which include the elimination of unwanted sludge deposits, a cleaner, more efficient fuel burn and reduced nitrogen oxide emissions. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, we do not pay any upfront costs but pay FOWE 33% of realized savings. We began installing Cavitech devices on our vessels in 2024 and expect them to be installed on a majority of our vessels by the end of 2025. Scorpio Holdings Limited, a related party, owns a minority interest in FOWE.

For the purpose of the table above, key management are those persons who have authority and responsibility for making strategic decisions, and managing operating, financial and legal activities.
We have entered into employment agreements with the majority of our executives. These employment agreements remain in effect until terminated in accordance with their terms upon not less than between 24 months' and 36 months' prior written notice, depending on the terms of the employment agreement applicable to each executive. Pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements, our executives are prohibited from disclosing or unlawfully using any of our material confidential information.
Upon a change in control of us, the annual bonus provided under the employment agreement becomes a fixed bonus of between 150% and 250% of the executive's base salary, and the executive may receive an assurance bonus equal to the fixed bonus, depending on the terms of the employment agreement applicable to each executive.
Any such executive may be entitled to receive upon termination an assurance bonus equal to such fixed bonus and an immediate lump-sum payment in an amount equal to three times the sum of the executive's then current base salary and the assurance bonus, and the executive will continue to receive all salary, compensation payments and benefits, including additional bonus payments, otherwise due to the executive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for the remaining balance of the executive's then-existing employment period. If an executive's employment is terminated for cause or voluntarily by the employee, the executive shall not be entitled to any salary, benefits or reimbursements beyond those accrued through the date of
the executive's termination, unless the executive voluntarily terminated the executive's employment in connection with certain conditions. Those conditions include a change in control combined with a significant geographic relocation of the executive's office, a material diminution of the executive's duties and responsibilities, and other conditions identified in the employment agreement.
By law, our employees in Monaco are entitled to a one-time payment of up to two months salary upon retirement if they meet certain minimum service requirements. Other than as set forth above, there are no material post-employment benefits for our executive officers or directors.

During each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had 17 and 15 vessels that earned revenue through long-term time charter contracts (with initial terms of one year or greater), respectively. The vessels that did not have long-term time charter contracts earned revenue from the Scorpio Pools or in the spot market.

The tanker market is typically stronger in the winter months of the northern hemisphere as a result of increased oil consumption but weaker in the summer months of the northern hemisphere as a result of lower oil consumption and refinery maintenance. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months tend to disrupt vessel scheduling. The oil price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result, revenues generated by our vessels have historically been weaker during April to September and stronger during October to March.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was robust as the cyclical strength in the product tanker market, combined with the ton mile expansion triggered by geopolitical events, resulted in an increase in daily spot TCE rates across all of our vessel classes. Revenue for our LR2 vessels benefited from strong global distillate demand and increasing ton miles as vessels were re-routed around the Cape of Good Hope due to conditions in the Red Sea. Revenue for our Handymax and MR vessel classes saw a spill-over effect from the conditions in the Red Sea, with their performance also driven by seasonally high refinery utilization and export volumes, reflecting a year-over-year increase in the demand for refined petroleum products.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, continued to reflect the cyclical strength in the product tanker market that has been underpinned by strong demand for refined petroleum products against the backdrop of a constrained supply of vessels. However, revenue did decline from the same period in the prior year. This is because the prior year benefited from a short term catalyst in rates due to the situation in the Red Sea. While this situation remains unresolved, supply chains for refined petroleum products adjusted in the second half of 2024, and the spike in daily spot TCE rates caused by the initial disruption normalized, leading to a reduction in TCE revenue as compared to the same period in the prior year.
In accordance with IFRS 16 - Leases, we are required to identify the lease and non-lease components of revenue and account for each component in accordance with the applicable accounting standard. In time charter-out or pool arrangements, we have determined that the lease component is the vessel and the non-lease component is the technical management services provided to operate the vessel. Each component is quantified on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of each lease component; and on the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
These components are accounted for as follows:
The following table summarizes the lease and non-lease components of revenue from time charter-out and pool revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. These figures are not readily quantifiable as our contracts (with the Scorpio Pools or under time charter-out arrangements) do not separate these components. We do not view our pool and time charter-out revenue as two separate streams of revenue. Nevertheless, we have estimated these amounts by reference to (i) third party, published time charter rates for the lease component, and (ii) an approximation of the fair market value of vessel operating expenses for the non-lease component.

(1) The decrease in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was attributable to a reduction in our average debt as a result of our focus on deleveraging given the cash flows generated from the strong market conditions that began in 2022. Our average indebtedness decreased to \$962.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to \$1.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
(2) The loss on extinguishment of debt and write-off of deferred financing fees during the six months ended June 30, 2025 include (i) \$0.9 million of write-offs of deferred financing fees, and (ii) \$1.2 million in costs related to the extinguishment of debt during the period.
The loss on extinguishment of debt and write-off of deferred financing fees during the six months ended June 30, 2024 include (i) \$5.8 million of write-offs of deferred financing fees, and (ii) \$2.3 million in costs related to the extinguishment of debt during the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the inclusion of potentially dilutive shares related to unvested restricted stock were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was dilutive. The inclusion of potentially dilutive shares of unvested restricted stock reflects the dilutive impact of 4,653,659 and 4,226,605, respectively, unvested shares of restricted stock.
We manage our funding and capital resources to ensure our ability to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of our debt and equity balance.
IFRS 13 requires classifications of fair value measures into Levels 1, 2 and 3. Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values and carrying values of our financial instruments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are shown in the table below.

(1) Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities.
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. We manage liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and borrowing facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Liquidity risks can manifest themselves when economic conditions deteriorate or when we have significant maturities of our financial instruments.
We are exposed to market risk through our financial assets classified as FVTPL, which includes exposure to interest rate risk and other price risks. Market risk arises due to changes in market prices, interest rates, or exchange rates, which could result in variability in the fair value of our investment and, consequently, impact profit or loss. We actively monitor market conditions and regularly evaluate the potential impact of these market changes on our FVTPL investments.
On July 29, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend \$0.40 per common share, which is to be paid on August 29, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of August 13, 2025.
In August 2025, we entered into an agreement to bareboat charter-out the MR product tanker, STI Bosphorus, at a bareboat rate of \$13,150 per day. The vessel will be chartered to a third-party joint venture which will re-flag the vessel to the United States in order for it to participate in the U.S. Government's Tanker Security Program (TSP). The contract will remain in effect until the vessel reaches 20 years of age, which will occur in 2037, subject to annual renewal within the National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA"). The charter commenced in August 2025.
As a condition to entering into this bareboat charter agreement, we repaid the debt outstanding relating to this vessel of \$12.65 million on the 2023 \$1.0 Billion Credit Facility in July 2025. This prepayment consisted of \$3.45 million on the term portion of the loan and \$9.2 million on the drawn revolving portion, which cannot be redrawn.
In July 2025, we submitted notice to exercise the purchase option on the LR2 product tanker, STI Symphony, currently financed under this arrangement. This vessel is scheduled to be purchased in February 2026 when the remaining lease liability is scheduled to be \$18.9 million.

We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the unaudited condensed consolidated set of financial statements as of, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. We believe that these financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss as of June 30, 2025.
We also confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the interim management report includes a fair review of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year, and major related party transactions.
