Stolt-Nielsen Limited Reports Unaudited Results For the First Quarter of 2025

Tanker performance impacted by market uncertainty, non-tanker portfolio continues to perform well

LONDON, April 3, 2025 – Stolt-Nielsen Limited (Oslo Børs ticker: SNI) today reported unaudited results for the first quarter ending February 28, 2025. The Company reported a first-quarter net profit of \$151.4 million with revenue of \$675.6 million, compared with a net profit of \$104.0 million with revenue of \$707.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding \$75.2 million in one-off gains, due to the step-up of equity investments in Avenir LNG Limited (Avenir) and Hassel Shipping 4 (HS4), firstquarter net profit was \$76.2 million.

Highlights for the first quarter of 2025, compared with the first quarter of 2024, were:

  • Stolt-Nielsen Limited (SNL) consolidated EBITDA of \$192.0 million, down from \$210.3 million.
  • Earnings per share (EPS) was \$2.83, up from \$1.94. Excluding the one-off gains, EPS was \$1.42 per share.
  • Stolt Tankers reported operating profit of \$66.6 million, compared to \$93.0 million.
  • The STJS average time-charter equivalent (TCE) revenue1 was \$27,620 per operating day, compared to \$29,944.
  • Stolthaven Terminals reported operating profit of \$28.5 million, level with the same quarter last year.
  • Stolt Tank Containers reported operating profit of \$15.2 million, up from \$13.3 million.
  • Stolt Sea Farm reported an operating profit before fair value adjustment of biomass of \$7.4 million, up from \$6.9 million.
  • Stolt-Nielsen Gas reported an operating loss of \$3.5 million, compared to a loss of \$2.0 million.
  • Corporate and Other reported an operating loss of \$10.5 million compared to a loss of \$10.7 million.

Udo Lange, Chief Executive Officer of Stolt-Nielsen Limited, commented:

"In an increasingly uncertain environment, the Company produced solid results with EBITDA of \$192 million. While Stolt Tankers' EBITDA fell 17%, our non-shipping business was up 6%, so overall the Company was down 9%, demonstrating the benefit of our diversified portfolio. The breadth of our business brings some resilience and risk mitigation in an otherwise volatile macroeconomic situation.

"Stolt Tankers faces significant uncertainties in its markets, driven by geopolitics. Tariffs on traded goods and potential higher US port fees could significantly impact trade flows, and we are closely

1 TCE revenue per operating day refers to deep-sea sailed-in revenue per day, which is calculated as voyage revenue less voyage related expenses and trading overhead expense, divided by total operating days during the period

monitoring the development of trade policies. Average TCE revenue for the first quarter was \$27,620 per day, a further decline from previous quarters, but still 39% above the historical average2 .

"Storage markets have been more stable, and at Stolthaven Terminals utilisation continues to trend upwards. Revenue and operating profit were flat year-over-year at record levels, despite a negative currency impact.

"Ongoing margin improvement at Stolt Tank Containers has supported a strong year-on-year performance in the first quarter. A decline in volumes impacted revenue, however operating profit increased, as spot rates booked were up, and the ongoing focus on cost control continues to pay off.

"Strong Christmas sales and margin performance positioned Stolt Sea Farm well for the first quarter of the year. With inventory levels remaining tight, sales prices were at record-high levels, which has positively impacted operating profit.

"During the quarter, we continued to invest in our business. We completed the acquisitions of the remaining 50% of the HS4 joint venture and an additional 48.8% in Avenir. The combined outcome of these transactions should generate an annualised additional contribution to EBITDA of around \$50 million, subject to market conditions."

Outlook

We expect supply chain uncertainty driven by geopolitics, and particularly trade policies, to continue in the near term. This uncertainty is expected to continue to impact customer sentiment, resulting in deferred supply chain decisions such as hesitancy on contract commitments and potential re-routing of trade. We believe however that the supply and demand fundamentals for our markets remain supportive long-term, and that our diversified portfolio of liquid logistics and aquaculture businesses, combined with our clearly defined strategy, positions us well to navigate this uncertainty.

Tanker markets will continue to be affected by geopolitical risk, driven by the ongoing conflict in the Red Sea, sanctions as a result of war in Ukraine, and potential tariffs and port fees deriving from US trade policy. The range of outcomes from these disruptive events is wide and could have significant impact across the sector. In the event of an unfavourable outcome on the US port fee hearings, we have a range of mitigating tactics that could offset some of the impact, including reducing port calls, prioritising major ports, leaning into global trade shifts, and passing costs through. In light of the elevated uncertainty, commercial sentiment has weakened leading to a softer spot market in the nearterm. For the second quarter, we expect daily average TCE revenue to see a slight decline. However, market fundamentals are unchanged, and there are signs that rates are stabilising in adjacent markets, suggesting that supply dynamics through 2025 will hold steady.

At Stolthaven Terminals our global portfolio of terminals mitigates the potential impact of uncertain markets. We expect utilisation at our terminals to continue to improve throughout 2025 and costs to remain well under control.

Volatility in the tank container market was somewhat eased by the cancellation of strike action by the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) in January 2025. However, market instability driven by geopolitics remains, which may impact space requirements and rates. Nonetheless, strengthening demand in the key geographies for Stolt Tank Containers should be positive for both spot rates and shipment volumes looking forward to the second quarter and beyond.

2 2018-2022 average TCE revenue was \$19,825

Pricing remains firm at Stolt Sea Farm. While the impact from greater-than-usual wild catch in sole may be felt in the near-term, the strong first quarter sales in turbot means that inventory levels are tight, supporting higher prices into Easter and the pre-summer season.

Our outlook has been formed on the basis of information available at the time of writing. As markets evolve, and clarity emerges on key issues that impact our sector, sentiment could quickly change.

Dividends

On February 11, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors recommended a final dividend for 2024 of \$1.25 per share, payable on May 7, 2025, to shareholders of record as of April 24, 2025. The shares will trade ex-dividend on and after April 23, 2024. The dividend, which is subject to shareholder approval, will be voted on at the Company's Annual General Meeting. If approved, this will bring the full dividend for 2024 to \$2.50 per Common Share.

Annual General Meeting

On March 21, 2025, materials for the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) were made available electronically and mailed to those shareholders who had requested physical documents. Copies of these materials are also available on the Company's website.

The Company's AGM will be held on April 17, 2025, at 10:00 am local time, at the registered office of the Company at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. Shareholders of record as at close of business on March 20, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the meeting.

Stolt Tankers: Weaker volumes as uncertainty impacts market sentiment

Stolt Tankers reported first-quarter revenue of \$408.7 million, down from \$443.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Deep-sea revenue decreased by \$30.8 million or 8.9%. Deep-sea volume was down 10.5% driven by a weaker market, low trader activity and ongoing transit restrictions in the Red Sea that began in early 2024. The prior year included \$6.8 million additional revenues from re-routing around the Panama Canal, which was not repeated in the first quarter of 2025. Deep-sea bunker surcharge revenue declined \$2.3 million, reflecting lower bunker fuel prices as the average price of bunkers consumed was down from \$606 to \$550 per tonne. The average deep-sea TCE revenue for the quarter was \$27,620 per operating day, down 7.8% compared to the same quarter last year, driven by lower volumes. Regional fleet revenue decreased \$4.3 million compared to the first quarter in the prior year, reflecting lower European barging results.

Stolt Tankers reported a first-quarter operating profit of \$66.6 million which was a \$26.4 million reduction from the first quarter of 2024. The \$35.1 million reduction in revenue was partially offset by lower voyage expenses caused by lower bunker costs and less time charter expense to pool partners in part due to the acquisition of HS4 in January 2025. Partially offsetting this was an increase in external time-charter costs related to replacement tonnage. Owning expenses were also up \$1.7 million, driven by the timing of stock replenishment and annual salary increase. Share of joint venture income was \$4.8 million lower due to the deep-sea lower results and acquisition of HS4.

Stolthaven Terminals: Utilisation improving, strong operating profit performance

Stolthaven Terminals reported first-quarter revenue of \$76.4 million, almost level with the \$76.8 million achieved in the first quarter of 2024. Foreign exchange negatively impacted revenue by \$1.9 million, partly offset by higher storage rates. Average utilisation at wholly owned terminals in the first quarter was 91.9%, down compared to 92.3% in the first quarter of 2024, however there is an upwards trend, with utilisation increasing from 90.9% in the prior quarter. This is expected to continue to gradually trend upwards over the course of the year.

Stolthaven Terminals reported a first-quarter operating profit of \$28.5 million, almost level with the first quarter of 2024 which was a record-high level. Like-for-like operating profit, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, would have been \$29.2 million. Equity income from joint ventures also increased by \$0.6 million, due to additional capacity at Westport, Malaysia and improved performance at Jeong-IL Stolthaven Ulsan, South Korea.

Stolt Tank Containers: Strong spot rates supporting higher margin business, despite lower shipment volumes

Stolt Tank Containers (STC) reported first-quarter revenue of \$152.9 million, a decrease of 2.1% from \$156.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. Soft market conditions in some regions impacted transportation revenue, which was down 5.1% due to a decline in shipment volumes of 9.0%. However, transportation revenue per shipment increased 4.2% compared to the same quarter last year, driven by stronger spot rates. Space constraints with carriers have eased, contributing to a decline in demurrage revenue of 5.0%. This impact was partially offset by an increase in China domestic and other revenue.

STC reported a first-quarter operating profit of \$15.2 million, increasing 14.1% from \$13.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. Lower operating expenses, primarily freight costs and costs to reposition empty tanks, more than offset the impact of the lower shipment volumes.

Stolt Sea Farm: Strong Christmas sales; sustained higher pricing through the quarter

Stolt Sea Farm (SSF) reported first-quarter revenue of \$31.7 million, up from \$30.6 million in the same quarter of 2024. Sales prices for both turbot and sole continue to be strong, increasing 2.5% and 8.0% respectively year-on-year. Sales volume of turbot increased 8.3% with higher sales of both fresh and frozen product. Sole sales volume declined 4.4% due to greater-than-usual wild catch together with lower production yield in the prior quarter.

SSF reported a first-quarter operating profit of \$7.4 million before fair value adjustment of biomass, up from \$6.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. Operating expenses excluding the fair value adjustment were up 1.9%. The fair value adjustment of biomass resulted in a gain of \$1.1 million compared with the first quarter of 2024.

Stolt Investments

Stolt-Nielsen holds equity and debt investments in Odfjell SE, Golar LNG Limited (Golar), Ganesh Benzoplast Limited and the Kingfish Company N.V., and a joint venture investment in and advance to Higas Holdings Limited (Higas).

In February 2025, through Stolt-Nielsen Gas, a subsidiary of the Company, purchased all the shares of Avenir owned by Golar and Aequitas Limited (46.9% ownership interest), and an additional 1.9% of Avenir shares, increasing its total shareholding from 47.0% to 95.8%. As a result, the Company recorded a one-off revaluation gain of \$32.5 million in the first quarter of 2025.

On March 5, 2025, the Company launched a compulsory offer for the remaining 4.2% of Avenir shares, which is expected to be completed by the end of April 2025. The Company now consolidates Avenir in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
