"TORM delivered a solid first-quarter result in line with our expectations despite continued geopolitical uncertainty," says Jacob Meldgaard.
In the first quarter of 2025, TORM generated time charter equivalent earnings (TCE) of USD 214.0m including unrealized losses on derivatives of USD 2.1m (2024, same period: USD 330.7m including unrealized losses on derivatives of USD 1.4 m). Adjusted EBITDA totaled USD 137.7m (2024, same period: USD 267.2m), while net profit for the period amounted to USD 62.9m (2024, same period: USD 209.2m), reflecting significantly lower freight rates compared to the same quarter last year, yet remained in line with levels observed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
By early 2025, trade volumes on routes most affected by the Red Sea disruption had declined by around one-third, which effectively negated the distance-driven ton-miles gains. Encouragingly, product tanker ton-miles began to rebound in March 2025.
In case of a reopening of the Red Sea, the Middle East-to-Europe trade flows would be expected to be restored, thus reducing the incentive for crude tankers to carry clean petroleum products ("CPP") around the Cape of Good Hope. Further, a potential easing of sanctions on Russia could lead to a partial or full return to shorter trade distances and bring previously sanctioned vessels back into the mainstream market. However, this may be partially offset by the scrapping of older tonnage, particularly vessels that are poorly maintained or unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage.
U.S. tariffs are not expected to directly affect oil and oil product flows, but they may have an indirect impact
through slower global economic growth. Additionally, Chinese retaliatory tariffs could prompt a shift from LPG to naphtha in the country's petrochemical industry. Tighter U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela are also expected to positively influence the crude tanker segment by redirecting trade and increasing utilization of the non-sanctioned fleet. This, in turn, reduces the risk of further crude cannibalization in the CPP market.
In this market, TORM achieved TCE rates of USD/day 26,807 on average (2024, same period: USD/day 43,152), and available earning days increased to 8,061 (2024, same period: 7,697). Our vessel class LR2 achieved TCE rates of USD/day 33,806, the LR1 vessels achieved TCE rates of USD/day 24,947, and the MR vessels achieved TCE rates of USD/day 24,675.
For the first quarter of 2025, Return on Invested Capital amounted to 10.3% (2024, same period: 33.8%) reflecting the lower freight rates compared to the very high levels seen a year ago. During the quarter, the weighted number of average outstanding shares excluding treasury shares was 97.4m shares which combined with the net profit led to basic EPS of USD 0.64 (2024, same period: USD 2.34).
As of 05 May 2025, TORM had covered 57% of the Q2 2025 earning days at an average rate of USD/day 28,026. By vessel class, coverage stood at 64% for LR2s at USD/ day 36,831, 46% for LR1s at USD/day 29,714 and 57% for MRs at USD/day 24,150.
For the full year 2025 43%of the earning days have been fixed at an average rate of USD/day 27,829. The remaining 57% of the earning days in 2025 - equivalent to 18,454 days - remain open and thus subject to market fluctuations. A change in freight rates of USD/day 1,000 will, all else equal, impact EBITDA by approximately USD 18m.
In early 2025, TORM sold the 2005-built MR vessels TORM Ragnhild, TORM Resilience, and TORM Thames. The vessels were all delivered to their new owners during the first quarter of the year.
Following these transactions, TORM's fleet size is currently 91 vessels. Based on broker valuations, TORM's fleet had a market value of USD 3,112.4m (2024, same date: USD 3,501.5m) and TORM's consolidated Net Asset Value (NAV) was USD 2,511.1m as of 31 March 2025 (2024, same date: USD 3,176.6m).

The TCE rate/day decreased by 38% from USD 43,152 to USD 26,807 in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was a result of a decrease in revenue.
Revenue for the first three months of 2025 decreased by USD 115.0m to USD 329.1m compared to the same period last year (USD 444.1m), corresponding to a 26% decrease. In the first three quarters of 2024, the product tanker market was strongly affected by geopolitical tensions and the Houthi attacks against commercial vessels at the Bab al Mandeb Strait resulting in the rerouting to go around the Cape of Good Hope with a positive ton-mile effect on freight rates. Since the second half of 2024, the effects have been partly offset by crude tankers cannibalizing LR2 trades of clean petroleum products. Even though trade flows have increased again in the first three months of 2025, the levels are still below the levels seen in the same period last year, which is the primary reason for the decrease in revenue.
Port expenses, bunkers, commissions, and other cost of goods sold for the first three months of 2025 were USD 110.4m, a decrease of USD 1.9m compared to USD 112.3m in the same period last year. The change can be attributed to decreased port and bunker expenses and increased unrealized gains on derivative financial instruments regarding freight and bunkers for a total of USD 10.6m, offset by increased activity in the Marine Engineering segment.
As of 31 March 2025, total assets were USD 3,486.7m (31 December 2024: USD 3,469.6m), an increase of USD 17.1m. The increase is mainly driven by an increase in cash position of USD 71.1m, offset by a reduction in the carrying amount of vessels and capitalized dry docking of USD 57.4m.
The carrying value of the fleet was USD 2,769.3m as of 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024: USD 2,826.7m. The decrease was due to the disposal of three MR vessels (TORM Ragnhild, TORM Resilience, and TORM Thames) of USD 34.1m and regular depreciation of USD 51.9m. The development is offset by capitalized dry docking and vessel modifications of USD 28.6m.
Based on broker valuations, TORM's fleet on water had a market value of USD 3,112.4m as of 31 March 2025, 12% above carrying value (31 December 2024: USD 3,582.9m, 27% above carrying value).
TORM´s liquidity position as of 31 March 2025 was USD 679.3m including restricted cash of USD 11.2m and undrawn credit facilities of USD 317.0m (31 December 2024: USD 614.8m including restricted cash of USD 19.3m and undrawn credit facilities of USD 323.6m).
As of 31 March 2025, TORM's equity was USD 2,142.2m (31 December 2024: USD 2,074.8m), an increase of USD 67.4m. The development was mainly driven by an increase in retained profit from the net profit for the period of USD 62.9m.
As of 31 March 2025, total liabilities were USD 1,344.5m (31 December 2024: USD 1,394.8m). The decrease was primarily driven by reduced borrowings of USD 44.0m, of which the majority relate to ordinary debt repayments, secondly by repayment of debt related to divested vessels.
Net cash flow from operating activities for the first three months of 2025 was USD 83.1m (2024, same period: USD 186.6m). The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in the net profit for the period.
Net cash flow from investing activities for the first three months of 2025 was USD 43.4m (2024, same period: USD -160.9m). The improved cash flow from investing activities is largely a result of no vessel acquisitions in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same threemonth period last year, offset by increased dry-docking activities.
Net cash flow from financing activities for the first three months of 2025 was USD -47.3m (2024, same period: USD 252.8m). The change in cash flow compared to the same period last year is principally a result of close to no proceeds from borrowing in the first three months of 2025 compared to USD 302.3m in the same period last year.
TORM's Board of Directors has today approved an interim dividend for the first quarter of 2025 of USD 0.40 per share to be paid to the shareholders corresponding to an expected total dividend payment of USD 39.1m. The distribution for the quarter is equivalent to 62% of net profit and reflects the Distribution Policy. The payment date is 04 June 2025 to all shareholders on record as of 22 May 2025, and the ex-dividend date is 21 May 2025 for the shares listed on Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen and 22 May 2025 for the shares listed on Nasdaq New York.

Clean petroleum product trade volumes in Q1 2025 fell 4% year-on-year. Although this partly reflected high base volumes in Q1 2024, it was especially weakness on trade flows most affected by the Red Sea disruption that contributed negatively to trade volumes, neutralizing the positive ton-mile effect from the Red Sea disruption. Compared to Q4 2024, trade flows nevertheless increased. This was reflected in the product tanker earnings, with benchmark LR2 and MR rates improving quarter-onquarter, but significantly lower than a year ago.
Product flows on the main trade routes affected by the Red Sea disruption - Middle East/India to Europe - climbed throughout the quarter from record low levels in Q4 2024 but remained 11% below year-on-year levels. Temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas resulted in an increasing number of vessels transiting the Red Sea, which lowered sailing distances. However, this trend reversed as the ceasefire fell apart in March and vessels started to avoid the Red Sea again.
Product exports from the US were affected by refinery maintenance and closure of the Lyondell refinery. Nevertheless, increasing utilization at the remaining refineries towards the end of the quarter resulted in strong gains in exports, mostly destined to the Americas.
Crude cannibalization increased throughout the quarter as a number of newbuilt crude tankers entered the market, nevertheless the levels remained significantly below the Q3 2024 peak levels.
While the weakness in European product imports resulted in lower ton-miles in Q1 2025, a closure of three refineries in Northwest Europe this year and the introduction of the Mediterranean SECA is expected to lead to higher diesel deficit. This should contribute to higher imports and tonmiles.
Geopolitical factors are expected to continue to drive the product tanker market, with the new US administration's more aggressive approach to geopolitics and trade policies adding extra uncertainty to the market. Although the policies implemented so far are not expected to have a direct effect on the product tanker market, there can be indirect effects through developments in the global economy or in terms of tighter sanctioning of Iranian and Venezuelan crude exports.

At TORM, we develop our guidance by closely monitoring and reporting key metrics such as TCE, covered days, and EBITDA sensitivity to freight rate fluctuations.
Freight rates in the product tanker market, which can be highly volatile, are the primary driver of our financial results. We anticipate maintaining relatively stable OPEX on a pervessel-day basis, with administrative costs expected to remain consistent with 2024 levels.
Our financial outlook is primarily based on the assumptions described on the preceding pages. The most important macroeconomic factors affecting our TCE earnings are expected to be:
We have limited visibility on TCE rates that are not yet fixed with our customers. Hence, these rates may be significantly lower or significantly higher than our current expectations.
Based on the earnings realized in the first quarter of the year as well as the coverage for the remaining part of the year, TORM narrows the full-year 2025 guidance. Thus, TCE earnings are expected to be in the range of USD 700 - 900m (2024: USD 1,135m), and EBITDA is expected to be in the range of USD 400 – 600m (2024: USD 851m) based on the current fleet size.
The purpose of this Financial Outlook for 2025 is to comply with reporting requirements for Companies listed in Denmark. Actual results may vary, and this information may not be accurate or appropriate for other purposes.

The table shows recent and expected developments in TORM's operating fleet. In addition to 67 owned product tankers as of 31 March 2025, TORM had 24 vessels under sale-and-leaseback agreements with options to buy back the vessels (financially reported as owned vessels in accordance with our accounting policies).
At TORM, maintaining a modern and competitive fleet is a core priority. As part of our active fleet management strategy, we regularly divest vessels as they reach a certain age to ensure a stable and attractive average fleet age. This approach not only supports operational efficiency and environmental performance but also aligns with our broader objective of maintaining high standards across our fleet. Divestments are carefully timed and balanced with selective acquisitions of high-quality second-hand vessels, which are rapidly upgraded to match the TORM standard. Through this disciplined process, we safeguard the longterm competitiveness of our fleet and continue to meet the evolving expectations of our customers, charterers, and stakeholders
In early 2025, TORM sold the 2005-built MR vessels TORM Ragnhild, TORM Resilience, and TORM Thames. The vessels were all delivered to their new owners during the first quarter of the year.

Jacob Meldgaard Executive Director 08 May 2025
The interim report has been prepared solely to provide additional information to shareholders to assess the Group's strategies and the potential for those strategies to succeed. The interim report should not be relied on by any other party or for any other purpose.
The interim report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements are made by the Directors in good faith based on the information available to them up to the time of their approval of this report. Such statements should be treated with caution due to the inherent uncertainties, including both economic and business risk factors, underlying any such forward-looking statements.
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forwardlooking statements. 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 reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are statements other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. Words such as, but not limited to, "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "targets," "projects," "forecasts," "potential," "continue," "possible," "likely," "may," "could," "should" and similar expressions or phrases may identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this annual report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are, in turn, based 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 the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, the Company cannot guarantee that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs, or projections.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our future operating or financial results; changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by

The information for the year ended 31 December 2024 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditor's Report on those accounts was not qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim report for the period 01 January-31 March 2025 is unaudited.
The interim report for the period 01 January-31 March 2025 is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34") as adopted in the UK. The interim financial statements are also prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and IAS 34 as adopted by the EU, as applied to financial periods beginning on or after 01 January 2025 and the additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies.
TORM has implemented the following standards and amendments issued by the IASB and adopted by the UK and the EU in the consolidated financial statements for 2025:
• Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (January 2025)
For the new standards and amendments, it is assessed that application of these effective on 01 January 2025 has not had any material impact on the consolidated financial statements in 2025. The interim report has been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the Annual Report 2024.
For critical estimates and judgements, please refer to the Annual Report 2024, pages 207-208.
As of 31 March 2025, TORM's available liquidity including undrawn facilities was USD 679.3m, including a total cash position of USD 362.3m (including cash held for dividend payment and restricted cash of USD 11.2m). TORM's net interest-bearing debt was USD 831.7m, and the net debt loan-to-value ratio was 27.0% (Tanker segment only and before dividend payment related to Q4 2024). Further information on TORM's objectives and policies for managing our capital, our financial risk management objectives, and our exposure to credit and liquidity risk can be found in Note 25 to the financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report.
TORM monitors our funding position throughout the year to ensure that we have access to sufficient funds to meet the forecasted cash requirements and loan commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants in our loan facilities, details of which are available in Note 2 to the financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report.
A key element for TORM's financial performance in the going concern period relates to the increased geopolitical risks and trade disputes. TORM's base case assumes that these dynamics will persist. TORM monitors the general development in the geopolitical situation and potential effects on the product tanker market. In the base case, TORM has sufficient liquidity and headroom for all the covenant limits. The principal risks and uncertainties facing TORM are set out on pages 17 to 21 in the 2024 Annual Report. In addition to the base case, TORM has developed a reverse stress case. The reverse stress case covers the lowest TCE rate that only just meet the minimum liquidity covenant and the lowest vessel values that do not breach any of the facilities' minimum security values in the period. In the reverse stress case, with TCE rates are slightly below the lowest rolling four-quarter average since 2000 on a per vessel class basis and a related decline in vessel values, TORM maintains sufficient headroom on liquidity and covenants throughout the going concern period.
The Board of Directors has considered TORM's cash flow forecasts and the expected compliance with TORM's financial covenants for the period until 30 June 2026.Based on this review, the Board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that taking reasonably possible changes in trading performance and vessel valuations into account, TORM will be able to continue in operation and comply with our financial covenants for the period until 30 June 2026. Accordingly, TORM continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing our financial statements.
Staff costs included in operating expenses relate to the 106 seafarers employed under Danish contracts (31 March 2024: 106, 31 December 2024: 109).
The average number of employees is calculated as a full-time equivalent (FTE).

As at 31 March 2025 TORM has a pool of 3,798 (31 March 2024:3,249, 31 December 2024:3,677) seafarers.
The majority of seafarers on vessels are on short-term contracts. The average number of seafarers on board vessels on short-term contracts for the first three months of 2024 were on average 1,814 (31 March 2024: 1,630, 31 December 2024:1,721).
Total seafarers costs for the first three months of 2025 were USD 37.7m (31 March 2024:USD 33.3m, 31 December 2024:USD 141.4m) which are included in "Operating expenses" of which USD 35.3m (31 March 2024:USD 31.1m, 31 December 2024:USD 131.8m) pertains to cost for seafarers on board vessels on short-term contracts and USD 2.4m (31 March 2024:USD 2.2m, 31 December 2024:USD 9.6m) pertains to cost for seafarers employed under the Danish contract as indicated in the staff costs table above.
Total compensation to the Board of Directors and the Senior Management Team, including the CEO, expensed during the period amounts to USD 4.7m (31 March 2024: USD 4.6m, 31 December 2024: USD 18.4m).
As announced on 06 March 2025, the Board of Directors agreed to grant a total of 1,326,087 (2024: 1,214,986) RSUs to certain employees. The vesting period of the program is three years. The exercise price is set at DKK 162.4 (2024: DKK 258.4). The exercise price is adjusted in the future by dividend payments. The exercise period is 360 days from each vesting date. The fair value of the RSUs granted was determined using the Black-Scholes model and amounts to USD 3.3m (31 March 2024: 8.1m). The average remaining contractual life for the restricted shares as of 31 March 2025 is 1.8 years (31 March 2024: 1.8 years, 31 December 2024: 1.5 years).
In addition to the RSUs granted to certain employees, the CEO was granted 255,200 restricted stock options on similar terms as outlined above. The fair value of the CEO's options was determined using the Black-Scholes model and amounts to USD 0.7m.

Throughout the interim report, several alternative performance measures (APMs) are used. The APMs used are the same as in the Annual Report 2024 and therefore we refer to the principles for these on pages 278-282 in the TORM plc Annual Report 2024. The following APMs relate to the Group.
Net profit excluding non-recurring items: Net profit excluding non-recurring items is net profit less non-recurring items, e.g. impairment and reversals of impairment on vessels, profit from sale of vessels and claims provisions. TORM reports net profit excluding non-recurring items because we believe it provides additional meaningful information to investors regarding the operational performance excluding non-recurring fluctuations.
| USDm | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | FY 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reconciliation to net profit | |||
| Net profit for the period | 62.9 | 209.2 | 611.5 |
| Profit from sale of vessels | -9.4 | -17.0 | -51.3 |
| Expense of capitalized bank fees at refinancing | — | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Net profit excluding non-recurring items | 53.5 | 192.7 | 560.7 |
Gross profit: TORM defines gross profit, a performance measure, as revenues less port expenses, bunkers and commissions and other cost of goods and services sold, charter hire and operating expenses. TORM reports gross profit because we believe it provides additional meaningful information to investors, as gross profit measures the net earnings from shipping activities. Gross profit is calculated as follows:
| USDm | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | FY 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computation of gross profit | |||
| Revenue | 329.1 | 444.1 | 1,559.2 |
| Port expenses, bunkers, commissions and other cost of goods and services sold |
-110.4 | -112.3 | -418.5 |
| Operating expenses | -66.4 | -56.6 | -245.1 |
| Gross profit | 152.3 | 275.2 | 895.6 |
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): TORM defines ROIC as earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) less tax, divided by the average invested capital for the period. Invested capital is defined on page 29.
ROIC expresses the returns generated on capital invested in TORM. The progression of ROIC is used by TORM to measure progress against our longer-term value creation goals outlined to investors. ROIC is calculated as follows:
| USDm | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | FY 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reconciliation to operating profit (EBIT) | |||
| Operating profit (EBIT) | 82.3 | 222.7 | 658.8 |
| Tax | -5.4 | -1.6 | 2.0 |
| EBIT less Tax | 76.9 | 221.1 | 660.8 |
| EBIT less Tax - Full year equivalent | 307.6 | 884.4 | 660.8 |
| Invested capital, opening balance | 3,005.4 | 2,425.1 | 2,425.5 |
| Invested capital, ending balance | 2,957.7 | 2,806.7 | 3,005.4 |
| Average invested capital | 2,981.6 | 2,615.9 | 2,715.5 |
| Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) | 10.3 % | 33.8 % | 24.3 % |
Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (Adjusted ROIC): TORM defines adjusted ROIC as earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) less tax and non-recurrent items, divided by the average invested capital less average impairment for the period. Invested capital is defined on page 29.
The Adjusted ROIC expresses the returns generated on capital invested in TORM adjusted for impacts related to non-recurrent items. The progression of ROIC is used by TORM to measure progress against our longer-term value creation goals outlined to investors. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as follows:
| USDm | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | FY 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reconciliation to operating profit (EBIT) | |||
| Operating profit (EBIT) | 82.3 | 222.7 | 658.8 |

| EBIT less Tax | 76.9 | 221.1 | 660.8 |
| EBIT less Tax - Full year equivalent | 307.6 | 884.4 | 660.8 |

| Average invested capital adjusted for impairment | 3,005.9 | 2,642.9 | 2,741.5 |
| Adjusted ROIC | 9.9 % | 32.8 % | 22.2 % |
¹⁾ Average invested capital is calculated as the average of the opening and closing balance of invested capital.
²⁾ Average impairment is calculated as the average of the opening and closing balances of impairment charges on vessels and goodwill in the balance sheet.
EBITDA: TORM defines EBITDA as earnings before financial income and expenses, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. The computation of EBITDA refers to financial income and expenses which TORM deems to be equivalent to "interest for purposes of presenting EBITDA. Financial expenses consist of interest on borrowings, losses on foreign exchange transactions and bank charges. Financial income consist of interest income and gains on foreign exchange transactions.
EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by Management and external users of financial statements, such as lenders, to assess TORM's operating performance as well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in TORM's financing agreements. TORM believes that EBITDA assists Management and investors in evaluating TORM's operating performance by increasing comparability of TORM's performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects of interest, depreciation, impairment, amortization, and taxes. These are items which could be affected by various changing financing methods and capital structures, which may significantly affect profit/ (loss) between periods. Including EBITDA as a measure benefits investor in selection between investment alternatives.
EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect profit/ (loss), and these items may vary among other companies and may therefore not be directly comparable. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net profit/ (loss), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for the periods presented.
Due to the temporary fluctuations of the fair value of freight and bunker derivatives, Management believes that an adjustment for unrealized gain/losses on freight and bunker derivatives help to increase comparability in EBITDA developments. The adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:
| USDm | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | FY 2024 |

Invested capital: TORM defines invested capital as the sum of intangible assets, tangible fixed assets, investments in joint ventures, deferred tax assets, other investments, bunkers, accounts receivables, assets held for sale (when applicable), non-current tax liability related to held over gains, deferred tax liabilities, trade payables, current tax liabilities, dividend payable, provisions and deferred income. Invested capital measures the net investment used to achieve our operating profit. TORM believes that invested capital is a relevant measure which Management uses to measure the overall development of the assets and liabilities generating our net profit. Such measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Invested capital is calculated as follows:
Net interest-bearing debt: Net interest-bearing debt is defined as mortgage debt and bank loans (current and non-current), lease liabilities less cash equivalents and interest-bearing loan receivables. Net interest-bearing debt depicts the net capital resources, which cause net interest expenditure and interest rate risk and which, together with equity, are used to finance our investments. As such, TORM believes that net interest-bearing debt is a relevant measure, which Management uses to measure the overall development of our use of financing, other than equity. Such measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Net interest-bearing debt is calculated as follows:

Liquidity: TORM defines liquidity as available cash, comprising cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, as well as undrawn and committed credit facilities. TORM finds the APM important as the liquidity expresses TORM's financial position, ability to meet current liabilities and cash buffer. Further, it expresses TORM's ability to act and invest when new possibilities occur.

Net Asset Value per share (NAV/share): TORM believes that the NAV/share is a relevant measure which Management uses to measure the overall development of the assets and liabilities per share. Such measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. NAV/share is calculated using broker values of vessels and excluding charter commitments. NAV/ share is calculated as follows:

Throughout the interim report, several alternative performance measures (APMs) are used. The APMs used are the same as in the Annual Report 2024 and therefore we refer to the principles for these on pages 198-202 in the TORM plc Annual Report 2024. After the acquisition of Marine Exhaust Technology A/S on 01 September 2022, the following APMs relate to the primary segment, the Tanker segment.
Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) earnings: TORM defines TCE earnings, a performance measure, as revenue less port expenses, bunkers and commissions incl. freight and bunker derivatives. TORM reports TCE earnings because we believe it provides additional meaningful information to investors in relation to revenue, the most directly comparable IFRS measure. TCE earnings 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.
Due to the temporary fluctuations of the fair value of freight and bunker derivatives, TORM believes that an adjustment for unrealized gain/losses on freight and bunker derivatives help to increase comparability in TCE earning developments. Further, to be able to reconcile the TCE earnings to the TCE/day measure, adjusted TCE earnings are presented net of the fair value adjustments on freight and bunker derivatives. The TCE/day measure is calculated as the adjusted TCE earnings divided by available earning days. TCE earnings and adjusted TCE earnings are presented below:
| Q1 | Q1 | FY | |
|---|---|---|---|
| USDm | 2025 | 2024 | 2024 |
| Reconciliation to revenue | |||

| Available earning days | 8,061 | 7,697 | 31,287 |
| TCE per earning day (USD) | 26,807 | 43,152 | 36,061 |
Net Loan-to-value (LTV): TORM defines Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio as vessel values divided by net borrowings of the vessels.
LTV describes the net debt ratio of the vessels and is used by TORM to describe the financial situation and the liquidity risk as well as to express the future possibilities to raise new capital by new loan facilities.
