Stolt-Nielsen Limited Reports Unaudited Results For the First Quarter of 2026

Navigating elevated market disruption

LONDON, April 9, 2026 - Stolt-Nielsen Limited (Oslo Børs ticker: SNI) today

reported unaudited results for the first quarter ending February 28, 2026. The

Company reported a first-quarter net profit of $47.5 million with revenue of

$716.8 million, compared with a net profit of $151.4 million with revenue of

$675.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, which included $75.2 million in

one-off gains related to the step-up of equity investments in Avenir LNG Limited

(Avenir LNG) and Hassel Shipping 4 (HS4).

Highlights for the first quarter of 2026, compared with the first quarter of

2025, were:

* Stolt-Nielsen Limited (SNL) consolidated EBITDA(1) of $180.8 million, down

from $187.8 million.

* Earnings per share (EPS) was $0.89, down from $2.83.

* Stolt Tankers reported operating profit of $50.3 million, down from $66.6

million.

* The STJS average time-charter equivalent (TCE) revenue(2) was $23,627 per

operating day, compared to $27,620.

* Stolthaven Terminals reported operating profit of $28.6 million, in line

with the same quarter last year.

* Stolt Tank Containers reported operating loss of $5.2 million, including

$5.1 million of Suttons integration costs, compared to an operating profit

of $15.2 million.

* Corporate and Other, including Stolt Sea Farm (SSF) and Stolt-Nielsen Gas

(SNG), reported an operating profit of $8.1 million compared to a loss of

$2.4 million.

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

"In the first quarter of 2026, we delivered revenue of $716.8 million and

EBITDA(1) of $180.8 million. Our non?tanker portfolio contributed a 44% share of

EBITDA, demonstrating the benefit of our diversified business model. The recent

conflict in the Middle East has had no impact on this quarter's results and none

of our ships are locked in the Strait of Hormuz.

"Stolt Tankers saw increased spot and contract volumes. However, due to ongoing

weaker freight rates, TCE earnings dropped 15% to $23,627 per day. Stolthaven

Terminals' performance remained strong and steady with stable utilisation and

rate increases offsetting inflationary cost increases, delivering their second

highest quarterly operating profit ever. Stolt Tank Containers saw shipments

increase 31%, however, operating profit fell year-on-year and was breakeven, due

to a tough competitive environment, before Suttons integration costs of $5.1

million.

"We continue to strengthen our portfolio. Strategically, we are excited to have

formed a joint venture with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) in Avenir

LNG, which will result in a sale of 50% of the equity to NYK Line and the

deconsolidation of Avenir LNG from SNL's balance sheet, reducing our debt and

capex commitments in the process. With this partnership, Stolt-Nielsen and NYK

Line will expand their future small-scale LNG and LNG bunkering opportunities

through the joint venture. Our Stolthaven Terminals joint venture in Kaohsiung,

Taiwan, commenced operations with more than 60k cubic metres of storage.

"We are closely monitoring the conflict in the Middle East and the effect on

transits through the Strait of Hormuz. While this introduces new complexities to

global supply chains, we are thankful that our people remain safe and our assets

are not impacted as our network continues to adapt. In this backdrop of elevated

uncertainty, we are activating operational and financial levers in each of our

businesses: using our global logistics network to support our customers, whilst

maintaining strict cost discipline and managing capital allocation for

flexibility and long-term value creation."
