Current report
General and administrative expenses were $28.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.0 million, or 7.6%, from $26.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Interest and Finance Costs
Current report
Interest and finance costs amounted to $15.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 19.2%, from $19.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $3.7 million during this period was mainly due to (i) a reduction of $2.5 million in interest on our long-term debt, (ii) an increase of $1.1 million in capitalized interest, and (iii) an decrease of 0.1 million in the amortization of financing costs. The decrease of $2.5 million in loan interest on our long-term debt was driven by a decrease in average indebtedness, excluding deferred financing fees, from $599.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to $546.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, as well as a lower SOFR rate on the 2023 A&R Debt Facility during the six months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was $47.2 million, compared to $98.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The $51.4 million decrease in cash generated from operations, was primarily driven by changes in working capital. The unfavorable change in working capital was mainly from amounts due from the Helios Pool as distributions from the Helios Pool are impacted by the timing of the completion of voyages, spot market rates and bunker prices.
Current report
For the six months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was comprised of $2.8 million of payments for vessel under construction and other capital expenditures for vessels, partially offset by a $1.8 million maturity of available-for-sale debt securities.

As our vessels age and our fleet expands, our drydocking expenses will increase. We estimate the current cash outlay for a VLGC special survey to be approximately $1.3 to $1.4 million per vessel (excluding any capital improvements, such as scrubbers, ballast water management systems, energy saving devices, and performance improvement additions to the vessel that may be made during such drydockings) and the cost of an intermediate survey to be between $150,000 and $250,000 per vessel. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations are primarily included as part of our drydocking and classification society survey costs. In order to comply with current emissions regulations, we have installed scrubbers on fifteen of our vessels and have one chartered-in scrubber-equipped vessel, which allows us to burn heavy fuel oil. Our other non-dual fuel vessels currently consume compliant fuels on board (0.5% sulfur), which are readily available globally, but at a significantly higher cost. We have entered into a contract to fabricate a scrubber for installation on our newbuilding VLGC/AC with remaining commitments on this contract totaling $0.8 million as of June 30, 2025. We also have one newbuilding Dual-fuel ECO VLGC and four chartered-in dual-fuel vessels that have the capability to burn LPG as fuel, which we believe provides an economic benefit over traditional fuel. Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Company— We may incur increasing costs for the drydocking, maintenance or replacement of our vessels as they age and the risks associated with older vessels could adversely affect our ability to obtain profitable charters” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

On November 24, 2023, we entered into an agreement for a newbuilding VLGC/AC with a cargo carrying capacity of 93,000 cbm that can transport LPG or ammonia, which is expected to be delivered from Hanwha Ocean Co. Ltd. in the second calendar quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2025 we had approximately $86.2 million of contractual commitments outstanding related to the newbuilding that we expect to settle during certain milestones through the expected delivery of the vessel.

As of June 30, 2025, independent appraisals of our technically-managed VLGCs in our fleet had no indications of impairment on any of our VLGCs in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. Accordingly, no undiscounted cash flow tests were required to be performed for any of our vessels, and, as a result, this is not considered a critical accounting estimate and no impairment charges were recognized for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Revenues, which represent net pool revenues—related party, time charter revenues, and other revenues, net, were $208.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $11.5 million, or 5.8%, from $196.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to higher average TCE rates, which rose by $3,347 per available day from $43,705 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to $47,052 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in TCE rates wasprimarily due to higher spot rates and lower bunker prices. The Baltic Exchange Liquid Petroleum Gas Index, an index published daily by the Baltic Exchange for the spot market rate for the benchmark Ras Tanura-Chiba route (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton), averaged $72.693 during the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an average of $62.118 during the six months ended September 30, 2024.

average price of very low sulfur fuel oil (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton) from Singapore and Fujairah decreased from $618 during the six months ended September 30, 2024, to $508 during the six months ended September 30, 2025. Partially offsetting the increase in revenues was a decrease in available days for our fleet that declined from 4,467 the six months ended September 30, 2024 to 4,376 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, mainly driven by an increase in the number of vessels drydocked.

Vessel operating expenses were $42.6 million during the six months ended September 30, 2025, or $11,084 per vessel per calendar day, which is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time-period for the technically-managed vessels that were in our fleet and increased by $2.6 million, or 6.4% from $40.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $670 per vessel per calendar day, from $10,414 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to $11,084 per vessel per calendar day for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily the result of an increase of $1,071 per vessel per calendar day of non-capitalizable drydock-related operating expenses. Excluding non-capitalizable drydock-related operating expenses, daily operating expenses were decreased by $401 from $10,190 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to $9,789 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, mainly as a result of decreases in (i) spares and stores and (ii) repairs and maintenance costs.

Interest income amounted to $5.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $8.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $2.4 million is mainly attributable to (i) reduced interest rates over the periods presented, and (ii) moderately lower average cash balances for the six months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024.
