Revenue: Total operating revenue for Q2 was $85.5 million, flat quarter-on-quarter and above the previous guidance.
TCE Rates: Average TCE decreased slightly to $69,900 per day, down from $70,600 in Q1, reflecting pressure from lower rates on open vessels.
EBITDA Growth: Adjusted EBITDA increased to $56.5 million, up from $53.4 million in Q1, driven by fewer drydock days and contributions from new vessels.
Strong Backlog: 50% of fleet days are covered until 2027, providing a buffer against weak charter rates.
Vessel Upgrades: Four out of five planned LNG-E vessel upgrades are complete, with upgrades generating $5,000 per day in additional charter premiums.
Liquidity: Total available liquidity reached $226 million at quarter end, boosted by cash and undrawn credit lines.
Share Buybacks: The company repurchased 859,000 shares at an average price of $5.77, reducing share count by 1.6%.
Market Outlook: Management sees gradual rate improvement and expects the LNG shipping market to balance further with increased supply and vessel scrapping.
