THIRD QUARTER 2025

21 November 2025

FRONTLINE PLC REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Frontline plc (the “Company”, “Frontline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), today reported unaudited results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 :

Highlights

• Profit of $40.3 million , or $0.18 per share for the third quarter of 2025 .

• Adjusted profit of $42.5 million , or $0.19 per share for the third quarter of 2025 .

• Declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per share for the third quarter of 2025 .

• Reported revenues of $432.7 million for the third quarter of 2025 .

• Achieved average daily spot time charter equivalent earnings ("TCEs") 1 for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2/Aframax tankers in the third quarter of $34,300 , $35,100 and $31,400 per day, respectively.

• Converted seven existing credit facilities with aggregate outstanding term loan balances of $405.5 million and undrawn revolving credit capacity of $87.8 million into revolving reducing credit facilities of up to $493.4 million in September 2025 and subsequently prepaid a total of $374.2 million in September, October and November of 2025 leading to a reduction in fleet average cash break even rates of approximately $1,300 per day for the next 12 months .

• Sold its oldest Suezmax tanker, built in 2011, for a net sales price of $36.4 million and delivered the vessel to its new owner in September 2025. After repayment of existing debt, the transaction generated net cash proceeds of approximately $23.7 million in the third quarter of 2025.

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

“The third quarter began in line with seasonal trends, with a typically subdued summer period. However, as the quarter progressed, freight markets strengthened – most notably for VLCCs. The U.S. moved past peak refinery runs, while India increasingly reduced its intake of Russian feedstock, opening up the ton-mile intensive arbitrage between the Americas and Asia. Global oil demand remains resilient, and the gradual reversal of OPEC+ production cuts is beginning to reflect in higher export volumes. Having navigated a modest third quarter, we are encouraged by the strong fundamentals and Frontline’s efficient, spot-focused fleet as we enter the winter market with freight rates at multi-year highs.”

Inger M. Klemp, Chief Financial Officer of Frontline Management AS, added:

“Converting term loan balances into revolving credit facilities enables us to efficiently manage our surplus cash through prepayment of debt, reduce our costs and cash breakeven rates while keeping full flexibility by preserving substantial available and undrawn revolving capacity to support potential fleet growth. We continue to focus on maintaining our competitive cost structure, breakeven levels and solid balance sheet to ensure that we are well positioned to generate significant cash flow and create value for our shareholders.”

1 This press release describes Time Charter Equivalent earnings and related per day amounts and spot TCE currently contracted, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS (“non-GAAP”). See Appendix 1 for a full description of the measures and reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure.

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

Third Quarter 2025 Results

The Company reported profit of $40.3 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 , compared with profit of $77.5 million in the previous quarter. The adjusted profit 2 was $42.5 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared with adjusted profit of $80.4 million in the previous quarter. The adjustments in the third quarter of 2025 consist of a $6.0 million gain on the sale of a vessel, $5.7 million synthetic option revaluation loss, $3.0 million unrealized loss on derivatives, $0.4 million in dividends received, $0.2 million gain on marketable securities and $0.1 million share of losses of associated companies. The decrease in adjusted profit from the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in our TCE earnings from $283.0 million in the previous quarter to $248.2 million in the third quarter as a result of lower TCE rates in addition to fluctuations in other income and expenses.

Tanker Market Update

According to the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), global oil consumption averaged 104.8 million barrels per day ("mbpd") in the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 0.8 mbpd from the previous quarter and 1.4 mbpd higher than the same period last year. Asia and Oceania led global demand growth, with China and India together contributing a 0.6 mbpd increase in consumption year on year.

Global oil supply accelerated in the third quarter of 2025, averaging 107.4 mbpd, an increase of 2.4 mbpd compared to the previous quarter and 4.3 mbpd higher compared to the same period last year. According to the EIA , global inventories grew by an average of 2.6 mbpd during the third quarter. Looking forward , supply is expected to continue to outpace demand by an average of 2.6 mbpd in the fourth quarter.

2 This press release describes adjusted profit and related per share amounts, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS (“non-GAAP”). See Appendix 1 for a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure.

Sanctions enforcement, shifting trade patterns, and OPEC+ production policy have remained key drivers of fleet utilization and earnings. The third quarter marked the sharpest quarterly increase in global oil supply since 2003 with most of the incremental supply growth coming from non-OPEC producers notably Brazil and the United States, driving higher VLCC utilization and longer trade distances. Sanction enforcement has intensified, with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) targeting central entities linked to Russian and Iranian oil flows, including Lukoil and Rosneft, which together account for more than 50% of Russia’s oil output and seaborn exports. The measures are likely to disrupt well - established trading routes and increase demand for compliant barrels, lending further support to the compliant fleet. Early signs indicate that India will follow suit, with refiners reportedly boosting purchases of non-sanctioned crude, prompting a positive realignment in global trade patterns. These recent events seem to have turned the tide for compliant tanker demand with “crude on water” now exceeding the record levels seen in 2020, with the majority of the oil originating west of Suez. The buildup reflects stronger export volumes, longer voyage distances, and growing logistical inefficiencies rather than storage demand. This dynamic has particularly benefited the VLCC segment, where earnings have reached multi - year highs. The combination of expanding supply, longer hauls, and tighter compliance continues to underpin strong fundamentals for the crude tanker market heading into year-end.

The overall tanker order book for the asset classes that Frontline owns is now 20.3% of the existing global fleet, with 135, 111, and 162 vessels on order for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2 tankers, respectively. According to industry sources, three VLCCs are expected to be delivered in the remainder of 2025. The growth in the order books is predominantly for deliveries scheduled in 2026 and 2027. We continue to observe the aging of the tanker fleet. According to industry sources, 17.4% of the VLCC fleet, 20.3% of the Suezmax tanker fleet and 20.5% of the combined LR2 and Aframax tanker fleet are now above 20 years of age. However, for a product carrying vessel the 15-year age mark is an equally important benchmark with 32.2% of the LR2 tanker fleet currently above this threshold. The average age of the global crude tanker fleet is now 14.1 years, a level not seen since 2000, which is surprising considering the regulatory framework the industry faces in respect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Fleet

As of September 30, 2025 , our fleet consisted of 80 vessels owned by the Company (41 VLCCs, 21 Suezmax tankers, 18 LR2/Aframax tankers), with an aggregate capacity of approximately 17.6 million DWT. As of September 30, 2025 , all of the Company's vessels were ECO vessels 3 and 45 were scrubber-fitted vessels with an average age of 7.2 years, making it one of the youngest and most energy-efficient fleets in the industry.

As of September 30, 2025 , three of the Company’s vessels (one VLCC, one Suezmax tanker, one LR2/Aframax tanker) were on time charter-out contracts with initial periods in excess of 12 months. The time charter-out contract for the LR2/Aframax tanker is expected to end in the third quarter of 2026, whereas the initial periods for the Suezmax tanker and the VLCC time-charters end in the second and third quarter of 2027, respectively.

In August 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its oldest Suezmax tanker, built in 2011, for a net sale price of $36.4 million. The vessel was delivered to the new owner in September 2025. After repayment of existing debt on the vessel, the transaction generated net cash proceeds of approximately $23.7 million, and the Company recorded a gain of $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2025.

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

Corporate Update

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.19 per share for the third quarter of 2025 . The record date for the dividend will be December 12, 2025, the ex-dividend date is expected to be December 12, 2025, for shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange and December 11, 2025, for shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, and the dividend is scheduled to be paid on or about December 19, 2025.

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

Financing Update

In September 2025, the Company entered into amendment agreements with some of our relationship banks to convert seven of our existing term loan facilities for eight VLCCs and one Suezmax tanker into revolving reducing credit facilities. Prior to the amendments, $405.5 million was outstanding under the seven term loan facilities and three of the facilities had total undrawn revolving credit capacity of $87.8 million. The new agreements provide initial revolving reducing credit capacity of up to $493.4 million, maturing at the original dates of the term loan facilities, with capacity reduced on a quarterly basis by approximately $10.1 million. Under the terms of the facilities, the Company can repay drawn amounts and draw repaid amounts at any time and elected to prepay $264.6 million in September , $45.1 million in October and $64.5 million in November of 2025. By entering into the revolving reducing credit facilities and prepaying $374.2 million of the drawn amounts the Company has reduced its mandatory quarterly debt repayments by approximately $8.1 million and reduced future interest expense, leading to a reduction in fleet average cash break even rates of approximately $1,300 per day for the next 12 months. Reducing revolving credit capacity of up to $352.4 million under these facilities remained available and undrawn as of September 30, 2025.

APPENDIX I - Non-GAAP measures

Reconciliation of Adjusted profit

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

(1) Adjusted profit excludes the unrealized gain/loss on derivatives to give effect to the economic benefit/cost provided by our interest rate swap agreements. The components of the gain/loss on derivatives are as follows:

(in thousands of $) FY 2025 Q3 2025 Q2 2025 Q1 2025 FY 2024 Q3 2024
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives (12,501) (2,994) (3,594) (5,913) (14,698) (12,806)

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

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

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

Time charter equivalent per day

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

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

TCE per day is a measure of the average daily income performance. Our method of calculating TCE per day is determined by dividing TCE by on hire days during a reporting period. On hire days are calculated on a vessel by vessel basis and represent the net of available days and off hire days for each vessel (owned or chartered in) in our possession during a reporting period. Available days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel (owned or chartered in) is in our possession during the period. By definition, available days for an owned vessel equal the calendar days during a reporting period, unless the vessel is delivered by the yard during the relevant period whereas available days for a chartered-in vessel equal the tenure in days of the underlying time charter agreement, pro-rated to the relevant reporting period if such tenure overlaps more than one reporting period. Off hire days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel is in our possession during the period but is not operational as a result of unscheduled repairs, scheduled dry docking or special or intermediate surveys and lay-ups, if any.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and per day amounts may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Estimated average daily cash breakeven rates

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

Spot TCE currently contracted

Spot TCE currently contracted are provided on a load-to-discharge basis, whereby the Company recognizes revenues over time ratably from commencement of cargo loading until completion of discharge of cargo. The rates reported are for all contracted days so far in the fourth quarter and therefore may not be reflective of rates to be earned for the full fourth quarter . The percentage of the period covered reflects the number of days each vessel is currently contracted for the fourth quarter as compared to the total available days in the fourth quarter . The actual rates to be earned in the fourth quarter will depend on the number of additional contracted days the Company is able to achieve and when each vessel commences loading of its cargo. On a load-to-discharge basis, the Company is unable to recognize revenues on ballast days, which are days when a vessel is sailing without cargo. The number of contracted ballast days at the end of the third quarter of 2025 was 1,053 days for VLCCs, 328 days for Suezmax tankers and 243 days for LR2/Aframax tankers.
