Marius Foss, CEO of Flex LNG Management AS, commented:

"We are pleased to deliver financial performance for 2025 in line with our guidance. Our Time Charter Equivalent rate for the fleet came in at $71,728/day for the full-year 2025, thus in line with our guidance of $71,000 to 72,000/day. Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 was $251.1 million, slightly ahead of our guidance of ~$250 million. Following extensive refinancing initiatives in 2024 and 2025, we are now realizing tangible benefits. Full-year 2025 interest expenses declined to $92.6 million, down $13 million from 2024, driven by improved loan margins, lower base rates, and proactive management of our revolving credit facilities. Adjusted net income in the fourth quarter was $23.3 million, contributing to FY2025 adjusted net income of $101.1 million, with adjusted EPS of $1.87 per share.

The long-term LNG story remains compelling, and we view 2025 as the start of the third wave of new liquefaction capacity coming online. In 2025, global LNG exports grew by approximately 4% year-on-year, reaching 429 million tons ("MT"). North American projects were a major driver of this growth, with 25% growth year-on-year. Momentum in global project development also picked up, with 70 million tons per annum ("MTPA") of new projects reaching FID during 2025, bringing total capacity under construction to around ~200 MTPA.

The short- to medium-term outlook for LNG shipping is expected to be impacted by deliveries of newbuildings ahead of liquefaction projects coming on stream. We anticipate continued volatility in the spot market over the next 12–18 months. In this period our contract backlog, currently a minimum of 50 years and potentially extending to 75 years if charterers exercise all extension options, provides us with earnings visibility. In 2026 we will remain exposed to a softer spot market for up to three open vessels, including the redelivery of Flex Aurora later in the first quarter of 2026.

Our 2026 financial guidance reflects the current soft market for our spot exposed ships, with wider ranges for TCE, revenues, and adjusted EBITDA. At the same time, we have strengthened our balance sheet to navigate these conditions. We completed three refinancings worth $530 million in 2025, enabling us to release $137 million in net cash proceeds, while at the same time both lowering our interest costs and increasing our debt maturity profile. As a result, we have no debt maturities before 2029, and we closed the year with a robust cash position of $448 million.

We are committed to shareholder return, and the Board has declared an ordinary quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share. This is our eighteenth ordinary quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share; and when adding special dividends, we will have paid out approximately $770 million of dividends to our shareholders since 2021."

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking 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 include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are 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. The words "believe," "expect," "forecast," "anticipate," "aim," "commit," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "possible," "potential," "pending," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would," "should," "could" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company's control, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. As such, these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the Company's future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, except as required by applicable law or regulation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of these factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the effect of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include: unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, the strength of world economies and currencies, inflationary pressures and central bank policies intended to combat overall inflation and rising interest rates and foreign exchange rates, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the LNG tanker market, the Company's business strategy and expected and unexpected capital spending and operating expenses, including drydocking, surveys, repairs, upgrades, insurance costs and bunker costs, the fuel efficiency of the Company's vessels, the market for the Company's vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, ability to comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, including those that may limit the commercial useful lives of LNG tankers, customers' increasing emphasis on environmental and safety concerns, potential liability from pending or future litigation, global and regional economic and political conditions and developments, armed conflicts, including the war between Russia and Ukraine, and possible cessation of such war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas and related conflicts in the Middle East, the Houthi attack in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, threats by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, trade wars, tariffs, embargoes and strikes, the impact of restrictions on trade, including the imposition of new tariffs, port fees and other import restrictions by the United States on its trading partners and the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by China and the European Union on the United States, business disruptions, including supply chain disruption and congestion, due to natural or other disasters or otherwise, potential physical disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, climate-related incidents, public health threats or political events, potential cybersecurity or other privacy threats and data security breaches, vessel breakdowns and instances of offhire, and other factors, including those that may be described from time to time in the reports and other documents that the Company files with or furnishes to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Other Reports").
