Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives
Current report
Realized gain on derivatives amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The unfavorable $0.4 million change is primarily attributable to (i) a $0.9 million reduction of realized gains on our interest rate swaps (ii) partially offset by reduced realized losses on our FFAs of $0.5 million.

**Results of Operations – For the nine months ended December 31,****2025 as compared to the nine months ended December 31,**2024
Current report
decreased from $602 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, to $490 during the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Available days for our fleet increased from 6,677 the nine months ended December 31, 2024 to 6,725 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, mainly driven by an increase in the number of vessels in our fleet, partially offset by higher off-hire days due to drydocking.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were $39.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $5.4 million, or 15.6%, from $34.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $4.2 million in cash bonuses, including $2.6 million in expenses under our Cash Incentive Compensation Plan, and $1.2 million in employee related costs and benefits.
Current report
$3.2 million reduction of realized gains on our interest rate swaps, partially offset by reduced realized losses on our FFAs of $0.5 million.
Current report
On November 5 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors declared an irregular cash dividend of $0.65 per share to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 17, 2025, totaling $27.8 million. We paid $27.7 million on December 2, 2025, with the remaining $0.1 million deferred until certain shares of restricted stock vest.

Previous report
General and administrative expenses were $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 27.0%, from $16.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a decrease of $3.6 million in cash bonuses resulting from differences in the timing of the approvals of cash bonuses to certain employees, including the named executive officers, in the period ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the period ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, stock-based compensation fell by $1.1 million, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses.
Previous report
Realized gain on derivatives amounted to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The unfavorable $1.2 million difference is primarily due to (i) the expiration of three interest rate swaps with a lower fixed rate than the interest rate swap that was in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and (ii) changes in forward SOFR yield curves and notional amounts.

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.

We are a Marshall Islands corporation headquartered in the United States and primarily focused on owning and operating VLGCs, each with a cargo-carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm, in the LPG shipping industry. Our founding executives have managed vessels in the LPG shipping market since 2002. Our fleet currently consists of twenty-seven VLGC carriers, including one dual-fuel 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGC, or our Dual-fuel ECO VLGC; nineteen fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs, or our ECO VLGCs; one 82,000 cbm modern VLGC; six time chartered-in VLGCs; four of which are Panamax size dual-fuel VLGCs; one time chartered-in ECO VLGC; and one chartered-in modern VLGC. The twenty-seven VLGCs in our fleet, including the six time chartered-in vessels, as of October 31, 2025, have an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 2.3 million cbm and an average age of 9.0 years. 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 and is expected to be delivered from Hanwha Ocean Co. Ltd. in the second calendar quarter of 2026.

Previous wording
Currently, sixteen of our ECO VLGCs, including one of our time chartered-in ECO-VLGCs, are fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems (commonly referred to as “scrubbers”) to reduce sulfur emissions. We have a contractual commitment to fabricate a scrubber for our newbuilding VLGC/AC, with installation expected to be completed during our fiscal year 2026. Vessels fitted with scrubbers allow us to reduce our emissions and to burn less refined fuel, which is frequently cheaper than more refined, lower sulfur grades. When the cost of more refined fuel exceeds that of less refined fuel, we are typically able to earn a higher TCE for spot voyages and to potentially contract time charters at higher rates compared to vessels without scrubbers. Additionally, one of the chartered-in dual-fuel Panamax size VLGCs is equipped with a shaft generator, which generates additional electricity that can be used to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

Revenues, which represent net pool revenues—related party, time charter revenues, and other revenues, net, were $124.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $41.7 million, or 50.5%, from $82.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to higher average TCE rates, which rose by $16,715 per available day from $37,010 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $53,725 for the three 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 $81.320 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an average of $52.049 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

We are generally required to complete a special survey for a vessel once every five years. Drydocking of vessels occurs every five years unless an extension is granted by the classification society to seven and one-half years and the vessel is not older than 15 years of age. Intermediate surveys are performed every two and one-half years after every special survey. Drydocking each vessel takes approximately 20 to 35 days. We spend significant amounts for scheduled drydocking (including the cost of classification society surveys) for each of our vessels.

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 $0.2 million as of September 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.
