FRONTLINE PLC

FIRST QUARTER 2025

23 May 2025

FRONTLINE PLC REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

Frontline plc (the “Company”, “Frontline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), today reported unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Highlights

•

Profit of $33.3 million, or $0.15 per share for the first quarter of 2025.

•

Adjusted profit of $40.4 million, or $0.18 per share for the first quarter of 2025.

•

Declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share for the first quarter of 2025.

•

Reported revenues of $427.9 million for the first quarter of 2025.

•

Achieved average daily spot time charter equivalent earnings ("TCEs")¹ for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2/Aframax tankers in the first quarter of $37,200, $31,200 and $22,300 per day, respectively.

•

Entered into three senior secured credit facilities in February 2025 for a total amount of up to $239.0 million to refinance the outstanding debt on three VLCCs and one Suezmax tanker maturing in 2025 and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in a total amount of up to $91.9 million.

•

Entered into one senior secured term loan facility in April 2025 in an amount of up to $1,286.5 million to refinance the outstanding debt on 24 VLCCs approximately three and a half years prior to maturity to reduce the margin.

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

“The first quarter of 2025 came in line with the previous quarter, somewhat muted relative to the economic and political backdrop during the period. In times of uncertainty, it’s comforting to operate in an industry that maintains business as usual, transporting oil and products around the world at a steady pace. Utilization on the larger ships has improved during the quarter and with continued pressure and enforcement on sanctioned trades, we have seen healthy developments in activity across the segments that Frontline deploys. Fleet growth remains slow, and ordering has again stalled, continuing to support the long-term fundamental story for tankers, where Frontline is ideally positioned with its cost-focused business model and spot-exposed, modern fleet.”

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

“Through our refinancings in 2025, we have further strengthened our strong liquidity, leaving the Company with no meaningful debt maturities until 2030, and further reduced our borrowing costs and cash breakeven rates. 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.

Average daily TCEs and estimated cash breakeven rates

($ per day)	Spot TCE			Spot TCE currently contracted	% Covered	Estimated average daily cash breakeven rates for the next 12 months
	Q1 2025	Q4 2024	2024	Q2 2025
VLCC	37,200	35,900	43,400	56,400	68%	29,700
Suezmax	31,200	33,300	41,400	44,900	69%	24,300
LR2 / Aframax	22,300	26,100	42,300	36,100	66%	23,300

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

First Quarter 2025 Results

The Company reported profit of $33.3 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared with profit of $66.7 million in the previous quarter. The adjusted profit² was $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with adjusted profit of $45.1 million in the previous quarter. The adjustments in the first quarter of 2025 consist of a $5.9 million unrealized loss on derivatives, a $1.8 million loss on marketable securities, a $1.6 million synthetic option revaluation loss, $1.3 million in dividends received and $0.9 million share of results of associated companies. The decrease in adjusted profit from the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in our TCE earnings from $249.4 million in the previous quarter to $241.1 million in the first quarter as a result of lower TCE rates, partially offset by fluctuations in other income and expenses.

Tanker Market Update

Global oil consumption, as reported by the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), averaged 103.2 million barrels per day (“mbpd”) in the first quarter of 2025. This figure represents a significant increase of 1.5 mbpd compared to the same quarter last year.

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.

Global oil supply remained stable in the first quarter of 2025, averaging 103.2 mbpd, an increase of 1.0 mbpd compared to the same period last year. In recent months, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries+ (“OPEC+”) made a significant move to not only reverse its 2.2 mbpd production cuts, but also to nearly triple the expected increase in production. Global supply is expected to outpace demand in 2025, and we are likely to see inventory build and possibly a contango market structure which could lend support to tanker freight rates.

Geopolitical uncertainty continues to dominate sentiment in the tanker space. Eyes are on the United States, where escalating rhetoric regarding stricter sanctions on importers of Iranian and Russian oil has fueled confidence across both the oil and freight markets. The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (“FCDO”), and the European Union have intensified their efforts, resulting in sanctions on more than 800 tankers and a handful of refineries, oil traders, and port authorities engaged in sanction-exposed trade. The sanctions pressure is expected to continue and will push the oil sector towards easier and less risky import solutions. While the pressure is increasing, reports suggest that the Trump Administration is moving closer to striking a nuclear deal with Iran. In a scenario where the US strikes a deal and sanctions are lifted, we might see Iranian oil exports shift from the shadow fleet to the mainstream fleet as exports increase. Vessels with a problematic history are unlikely to return to the mainstream market as compliant charterers need compliant ships. The heightened pressure has sparked interest in older, non-sanctioned tonnages that can still engage in questionable trade. Additionally, low oil prices have enabled smaller independent owners with non-sanctioned tonnage to participate in “compliant” Russian trade below the price cap. This has supported utilization for the mainstream fleet and could serve as a proxy for the outcome if all sanctions are lifted.

The overall tanker order book for the asset classes that Frontline owns is now 19.0% of the existing global fleet, with 99, 99, and 176 vessels on order for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2 tankers, respectively. According to industry sources, only five VLCCs are expected to be delivered in the remainder of 2025, thus increasing optimism for this asset class. The growth in the order books is predominantly for deliveries scheduled in 2026 and 2027 and is not expected to affect the overall outlook of the tanker fleet in the near term due to the general age profile of the existing fleet.

We continue to observe the aging of the tanker fleet as new deliveries have slowed with muted recycling activity. According to industry sources, 16.2% of the VLCC fleet, 19.2% of the Suezmax tanker fleet and 19.5% 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 equally interesting with 34.1% of the LR2 tanker fleet passing this threshold in 2025.

The Fleet

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s fleet consisted of 81 vessels owned by the Company (41 VLCCs, 22 Suezmax tankers, 18 LR2/Aframax tankers), with an aggregate capacity of approximately 17.8 million DWT. As of March 31, 2025, all but one vessel in the Company's fleet were ECO vessels³ and 45 were scrubber-fitted vessels with a total average age of 6.8 years, making it one of the youngest and most energy-efficient fleets in the industry.

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.

As of March 31, 2025, five of the Company’s vessels (one VLCC, one Suezmax tanker, three LR2/Aframax tankers) were on time charter-out contracts with initial periods in excess of 12 months. One LR2/Aframax tanker was redelivered from its time charter-out contract in March 2025 and one LR2/Aframax tanker was redelivered in April 2025. The time charter-out contracts for the remaining two LR2/Aframax tankers have initial periods ending in the third quarter of 2025, whereas the initial periods for the Suezmax tanker and the VLCC time-charters end in the second and third quarter of 2027, respectively.

Corporate Update

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.18 per share for the first quarter of 2025. The record date for the dividend will be June 12, 2025, the ex-dividend date is expected to be June 12, 2025, for shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange and June 11, 2025, for shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, and the dividend is scheduled to be paid on or about June 24, 2025.

The Company had 222,622,889 ordinary shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 was 222,622,889.

Financing Update

In February 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility in an amount of up to $119.7 million with ING and First Citizens to refinance outstanding debt on two VLCCs and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in an amount of up to $51.6 million. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 165 basis points and has an amortization profile of 18 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

In February 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility in an amount of up to $72.3 million with Crédit Agricole to refinance outstanding debt on one VLCC and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in an amount of up to $25.4 million. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 170 basis points and has an amortization profile of 18 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

In February 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility in an amount of up to $47.0 million with SEB to refinance outstanding debt on one Suezmax tanker and, in addition, provide revolving credit capacity in an amount of up to $14.9 million. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 170 basis points and has an amortization profile of 20 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility in an amount of up to $1,286.5 million with a group of our relationship banks to refinance the outstanding debt on 24 VLCCs under the existing $1,410.0 million senior secured term loan facility approximately three and a half years prior to maturity to reduce the margin. The new facility has a tenor of five years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 170 basis points and has an amortization profile of 20 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard.

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 $)	Q1 2025	FY 2024	Q4 2024	Q1 2024
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives	(5,913)	(14,698)	678	815

Gain (loss) on derivatives	(1,258)	9,206	5,897	6,979

(2) The vesting period for the synthetic options granted to employees and board members 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.

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, interest on loans, 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 second quarter and therefore may not be reflective of rates to be earned for the full second quarter. The percentage of the period covered reflects the number of days each vessel is currently contracted for the second quarter as compared to the total available days in the second quarter. The actual rates to be earned in the second 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 first quarter of 2025 was 887 days for VLCCs, 306 days for Suezmax tankers and 216 days for LR2/Aframax tankers.
