CEO Statement
The positive momentum of Hafnia's second quarter in 2025 has continued into the
third quarter, with continued growth in trade volumes and tonne-miles. This has
been driven by strong underlying global demand and improved refining margins,
which has boosted the spot market.
I am pleased to announce that Hafnia reported strong earnings, with a net profit
of USD 75.3 million in Q2 2025, with our commercially managed pool and bunker
procurement business contributing USD 7.9 million of the total result. Our Q2
performance was affected by several vessels undergoing scheduled drydocking,
leading to approximately 630 off-hire days during the quarter, and we anticipate
another 510 off-hire days in Q3.
At the end of the second quarter, our net asset value (NAV) stood at
approximately USD 3.3 billion, translating to an NAV per share of about USD 6.55
(~NOK 66.07). Our net Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio remained unchanged from the
first quarter at 24.1%, balancing a decrease in our vessel market values and a
further reduction in our debt.
I am pleased to announce a payout ratio of 80% for the second quarter. We will
distribute a total of USD 60.3 million or USD 0.1210 per share in dividends.
In May, we took delivery of the Ecomar Guyenne, the second vessel in the
dual-fuel methanol MR (IMO II) newbuild fleet, together with our partner
Socatra. In July, we took delivery of the Ecomar Garonne, the third vessel in
the joint venture.
Seascale Energy - our bunker joint venture with Cargill commenced operations in
mid-May, where the joint venture will be accounted for using the equity method.
In July, we concluded a USD 715 million revolving credit facility with a
syndicate of 11 banks. This facility has since been partially used to refinance
existing debt. A competitive margin and attractive structure enabled us to lower
our overall funding cost and cash flow breakeven levels, strengthening our
liquidity position and providing flexibility for future growth.
We expect Hafnia's strong performance to continue into the third quarter,
influenced by our current bookings and solid market conditions, with OPEC's
production boosting refinery throughput, generating positive momentum for
product tanker demand. On a macro level, geopolitical conflicts, sanctions,
trade policies, and tariffs continue to shape trade flows, and we continue to
closely monitor these developments. With limited newbuild contracts in 2025, the
orderbook-to-fleet ratio remains around 20%, and incoming deliveries could
impact the market unless offset via meaningful scrapping. This has yet to
materialize, despite many vessels built in the 2000s are now reaching secondary
trading or scrapping age. Simultaneously, a significant number of LR2s have
moved to trading in the crude space, limiting product supply growth.
As of 15 August 2025, 75% of the Q3 earning days are covered at an average of
USD 25,395 per day, and 48% of the earning days for the remainder of the year
are covered at USD 25,158 per day.
As we conclude the first half of 2025, we are encouraged by the ongoing strength
of the product tanker market, driven by strong demand and solid fundamentals. I
believe Hafnia is well-positioned for the future. Our young, modern fleet and
recent refinancing give us a strong stance amid market fluctuations, as well as
the flexibility to pursue new opportunities.
