Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information

Dorian LPG Ltd. (“Dorian”) was incorporated on July 1, 2013 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is headquartered in the United States, and is engaged in the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) worldwide. Specifically, Dorian and its subsidiaries (together “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) are focused on owning and operating very large gas carriers (“VLGCs”), each with a cargo carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm, in the LPG shipping industry. As of December 31, 2025, our fleet consists oftwenty-seven VLGCs, includingone 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; of which four are duel-fuel Panamax size VLGCs, one is ECO-design VLGC andone is modern VLGC. On November 24, 2023, we entered into a shipbuilding contract for a newbuilding Very Large Gas Carrier / Ammonia Carrier (“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 first calendar quarter of 2026. We provide in-house commercial management services for all of our vessels, including our vessels deployed in the Helios Pool (defined below), which may also receive commercial management services from MOL Energia (defined below). Excluding our time chartered-in vessels, we provide in-house technical management services for all of our vessels, including our vessels deployed in the Helios Pool.

Sixteen of our ECO-VLGCs, includingone of our time chartered-in ECO-VLGCs, are equipped with exhaust gas cleaning systems (commonly referred to as “scrubbers”) to reduce sulfur emissions and, as of December 31, 2025, we have a contractual commitment to fabricate a scrubber for our newbuilding VLGC/AC, with installation expected to be completed during the first calendar quarter of 2026. 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.

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and MOL Energia Pte. Ltd. (“MOL Energia”), formerly known as Phoenix Tankers Pte. Ltd., began operations of Helios LPG Pool LLC (the “Helios Pool”), which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under variable rate time charters to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. Refer to Note 4 below for further description of the Helios Pool.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and related Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows have been included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended March 31, 2025 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2025.

Our interim results are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations, and the operating results for any quarter are therefore not necessarily indicative of results that may be otherwise expected for the entire year.

Our subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025, which are all wholly-owned and are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (unless otherwise noted), are listed below.

** 2. Significant Accounting Policies**

The same accounting policies have been followed in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as those applied in the preparation of our consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 (refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements with the objective to address longstanding requests from investors to provide more detailed information about expenses presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and

interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for the reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We have considered all other recent accounting pronouncements issued and believe that none will have a material effect on our financial statements.

4. Transactions with Related Parties

Dorian (Hellas), S.A.

Dorian (Hellas) S.A. (“DHSA”) formerly provided technical, crew, commercial management, insurance and accounting services to our vessels and had agreements to outsource certain of these services to Eagle Ocean Transport Inc. (“Eagle Ocean Transport”), which is 100% owned by Mr. John C. Hadjipateras, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with DHSA, retroactive to July 2014 and superseding an agreement between Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. and DHSA, for the provision by Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries of certain chartering and marine operation services to DHSA, for which income was earned and included in “Other income-related parties” totaling less than $0.1 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, there wasno thing due from DHSA.

Helios LPG Pool LLC

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and MOL Energia began operations of the Helios Pool, which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under variable rate time charters to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. We hold a 50% interest in the Helios Pool as a joint venture with MOL Energia and all significant rights and obligations are equally shared by both parties. All profits of the Helios Pool are distributed to the pool participants based on pool points (see below for description of pool points) assigned to each vessel as variable charter hire and, as a result, there are no profits available to the equity investors as a share of equity. We have determined that the Helios Pool is a variable interest entity as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. We do not consolidate the Helios Pool because we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling financial interest. In consideration of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-50-4e, the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of the Helios Pool that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance are shared, in that all significant performance activities which relate to approval of pool policies and strategies related to pool customers and the marketing of the pool for the procurement of customers for the pool vessels, addition of new pool vessels and the pool cost management, require unanimous board consent from a board consisting oftwo members from each joint venture investor. Further, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 810-10-25-38D, the Company and MOL Energia are not related parties as defined in ASC 850 nor are they de facto agents pursuant to ASC 810-10, the power over the significant activities of the Helios Pool is shared, and no party is the primary beneficiary in the Helios Pool or has a controlling financial interest. As of December 31, 2025, the Helios Pool operated twenty-nine VLGCs, including twenty-seven vessels from our fleet (includingsix vessels time chartered-in from unrelated parties) andtwo MOL Energia vessels.

As of December 31, 2025, we had net receivables from the Helios Pool of $99.0 million (net of amounts due to Helios Pool of $0.2 million which are reflected under “Due to related Parties”), including $27.5 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. As of March 31, 2025, we had net receivables from the Helios Pool of $74.4 million (net of an amount due to Helios Pool of $0.1 million which are reflected under “Due to related Parties”), including $26.4 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. Our maximum exposure to losses from the pool as of December 31, 2025 is limited to the receivables from the pool. The Helios Pool does not have any third-party debt obligations. The Helios Pool has entered into commercial management agreements with each of Dorian LPG (DK) ApS and MOL Energia and has appointed both as the exclusive commercial managers of pool vessels. Fees for such services earned by Dorian LPG (DK) ApS are included in “Other income-related parties” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and were $0.6 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $1.8 million for both the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Additionally, we receive reimbursement of expenses such as costs for security guards, war risk insurance, and certain other voyage costs for vessels operating in the Helios Pool, for which we earned $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively and are included in “Other revenues, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Through our vessel owning subsidiaries, we have chartered vessels to the Helios Pool during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The time charter revenue from the Helios Pool is variable depending upon the net results of the pool, available days and pool points for each vessel. The Helios Pool enters into voyage and time charters with external parties and receives freight and related revenue and, where applicable, incurs voyage costs such as bunkers, port costs and commissions. At the end of each month, the Helios Pool calculates net pool revenues using gross revenues, less voyage expenses of all pool vessels, less fixed time charter hire for any chartered-in vessels, less the general and administrative expenses of the pool as variable rate time charter hire for the relevant vessel to participants based on pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, scrubber-equipped, fuel efficiency, fuel-type consumed, and speed are taken into consideration) and number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period. In accordance with the pool participation agreements, pool points are finalized in arrears every six months ending September 30 and March 31 and pool profits are reallocated based on the actual recorded speed and consumption performance for each vessel operating in the Helios Pool during the preceding six-month period. Net pool revenues, less any amounts required for working capital of the Helios Pool, are distributed, to the extent they have been collected from third-party customers of the Helios Pool. We recognize net pool revenues on a monthly basis, when each relevant vessel has participated in the pool during the

period and the amount of net pool revenues for the month can be estimated reliably. Revenue earned from the Helios Pool is presented in Note 13.

As of December 31, 2025, we obtained independent appraisals of the technically managed VLGCs in our fleet and concluded that there were no indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. No impairment charges were recognized for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

7. Vessel Under Construction

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 first calendar quarter of 2026.

Framework agreement

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we entered into an arrangement with MOL Energia Pte., our partner in the Helios Pool, to equally share the income or losses onBW Tokyo, one of our time chartered-in vessels. The net result reflected in this line item represents 50% of the vessel’s revenues for the period less 50% of the vessel’s charter hire-in expenses for the period and is reflected as “Profit sharing expenses” in the unaudited interim condensed

consolidated statements of operations. The line items net pool revenues–related party and charter-hire expense reflect 100% of the revenues and expenses, respectively, related to this vessel.

10. Common Stock

On June 7, 2024, we issued 2 million shares to the public at a price of $44.50 per share with proceeds totaling $89.0 million, less (i) $2.225 per share, or $4.5 million, of underwriting discounts and commissions, and (ii) $0.1 million of legal and other offering costs.

On February 2, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our common shares (the “2022 Common Share Repurchase Authority”). Under this authorization, when in force, purchases were and may be made at our discretion in the form of open market repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or a combination of these methods. The actual amount and timing of share repurchases are subject to capital availability, our determination that share repurchases are in the best interests of our shareholders, and market conditions. As of December 31, 2025, our total purchases under the 2022 Common Share Repurchase Authority totaled 355,511 shares for an aggregate consideration of $7.9 million. This amount includes 194,011 shares repurchased for $4.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2025. We are not obligated to make any common share repurchases.

11. Dividends

On May 2, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors declared an irregular cash dividend of $0.50 per share of our common stock to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2025, totaling $21.3 million. We paid $21.2 million on May 30, 2025, with the remaining $0.1 million deferred until certain shares of restricted stock vest.

On August 1, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors declared an irregular cash dividend of $0.60 per share to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2025, totaling $25.7 million. We paid $25.6 million on August 27, 2025, with the remaining $0.1 million deferred until certain shares of restricted stock vest.

On August 5, 2025, we paid $0.8 million of dividends that had been deferred until the vesting of certain restricted stock.

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.

These were irregular dividends. All declarations of dividends are subject to the determination and discretion of our Board of Directors based on its consideration of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, anticipated capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in our debt agreements, restrictions under applicable law, our business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

12. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Our stock-based compensation expense is included within general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and was $2.0 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and $8.8 and $9.0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost was $6.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and will be recognized over a remaining weighted average life of 1.30 years. For more information on our equity incentive plan, refer to Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

A summary of the activity of restricted shares and units awarded under our equity incentive plan as of December 31, 2025 and changes during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, is as follows:

​​​​​​​
​ · ​ ​ ​ · ​ · ​ ​ ​ · Weighted-Average
​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · Grant-Date · ​
Incentive Share/Unit Awards · ​ · Number of Shares/Units · ​ · Fair Value · ​
Unvested as of April 1, 2025​272,996​$36.06​

Vested​(277,319)​​33.82​
Unvested as of December 31, 2025​291,221​$32.81​

The total fair value of restricted shares that vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 totaled $8.5 million, which is calculated as the number of shares vested during the period multiplied by the fair value on the vesting date.

13. Revenues

Revenues comprise the following:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​ · ​ ​ ​ · Three months ended · ​ ​ ​ · Nine months ended
​ · ​ · December 31, 2025 · ​ ​ ​ · December 31, 2024 · ​ · December 31, 2025 · ​ ​ ​ · December 31, 2024

Total revenues​$119,964,287$80,666,779​$328,240,534$277,453,301​

Net pool revenues—related party depend upon the net results of the Helios Pool, and the available days and pool points for each vessel, including 100% of net pool revenues—related party for our chartered-in vessel that is part of a framework agreement as described in Note 9 above. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Other revenues, net mainly represent claim reimbursements and income from charterers relating to reimbursement of voyage expenses, such as costs for war risk insurance and security guards.

14. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Our principal financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, amounts due from related parties, derivative instruments, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets. Our principal financial liabilities consist of long-term debt, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, and accrued liabilities.

(a)Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which may subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of amounts due from our charterers, including the receivables from Helios Pool, and cash and cash equivalents. We limit our credit risk with amounts due from our charterers, including those through the Helios Pool, by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our charterers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral from our charterers. We limit our credit risk with our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by placing it with highly-rated financial institutions and directly or indirectly highly liquid, short term highly rated debt obligations.
(b)Interest rate risk: Our 2023 A&R Debt Facility is based on SOFR and hence we are exposed to movements thereto. We had entered into various interest rate swap agreements, with one such swap currently in effect as of December 31, 2025, in order to hedge a majority of our variable interest rate exposure related to this facility. The notional value of this interest rate swap over its remaining life decreases at a rate to maintain a constant 80% ratio between the debt outstanding under the 2023 A&R Debt Facility and the notional amount of the swap. This interest rate swap carries a fixed interest rate of 2.8525%. We have no exposure to floating rate movements on any of our other debt financings.
(c)Fair value measurements: Interest rate swaps are stated at fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market‑based SOFR swap yield rates. SOFR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and, therefore, are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements approximates the amount that we would have to pay or receive for the early termination of the agreements.

Additionally, we have, at times, taken positions in freight forward agreements (“FFAs”) as economic hedges to reduce the risk related to vessels trading in the spot market and to take advantage of fluctuations in market prices. Customary requirements for trading FFAs include the maintenance of initial and variation margins based on expected volatility, open position and mark-to-market of the contracts. FFAs are recorded as assets/liabilities until they are settled. Changes in fair value prior to settlement are recorded in unrealized gain/(loss) on derivatives. Upon settlement, if the contracted charter rate is less than the average of the rates for the specified route and time period, as reported by an identified index, the seller of the FFA is required to pay the buyer the settlement sum, being an amount equal to the difference between the contracted rate and the settlement rate, multiplied by the number of days in the specified period covered by the FFA. Conversely, if the contracted rate is greater than the settlement rate, the buyer is required to pay the seller the settlement sum. Settlement of FFAs are recorded in realized gain/(loss) on derivatives. FFAs are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. We had no outstanding FFAs as of December 31, 2025.

The following table summarizes the location on the balance sheet of the financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, which comprise our financial derivatives, all of which are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as of:

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 or Level 3 were recognized in the consolidated balance sheets with the exception of Level 1 items cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investment securities. We did not have any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(d)Book values and fair values of financial instruments: In addition to the derivatives that we are required to record at fair value on our balance sheet (see (c) above) we have investment securities that are recorded at fair value and included in other current assets in our balance sheet. We have other financial instruments that are carried at historical cost including trade accounts receivable, equity securities, at cost, amounts due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties

and accrued liabilities for which the historical carrying value approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The summary of gains and losses on our investment securities included in other gain/(loss), net as stated in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented is as follows:

We have long-term bank debt, the 2023 A&R Debt Facility, for which we believe the carrying value approximates fair value as the facility bears interest at variable interest rates based on SOFR at December 31, 2025 and 2024, which is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans, and hence are considered as a Level 2 item in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. We have long-term debt related to the Corsair Japanese Financing, Cresques Japanese Financing, Cratis Japanese Financing, Copernicus Japanese Financing, Chaparral Japanese Financing, Cougar Japanese Financing, Caravelle Japanese Financing, and Captain Markos Dual-Fuel Japanese Financing, (collectively, the “Japanese Financings”) that incur interest at a fixed rate. We have long-term debt related to the BALCAP Facility that incurs interest at a fixed rate. The Japanese Financings and BALCAP Facility are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy and the fair value of each is based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current observable interest rates. The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations as of:

15. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS represents net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period. Our restricted stock shares include rights to receive dividends that are subject to the risk of forfeiture if service requirements are not satisfied, thus these shares are not considered participating securities and are excluded from the basic weighted-average shares outstanding calculation. Diluted EPS represent net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The calculations of basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​ · ​ · Three months ended · ​ · Nine months ended · ​
(In U.S. dollars except share data) · ​ · December 31, 2025 · ​ · December 31, 2024 · ​ · December 31, 2025 · ​ · December 31, 2024 · ​

EPS:​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Basic​$1.11​$0.50​$2.65​$1.95​
Diluted​$1.11​$0.50​$2.64​$1.95​

There were 291,221 and 188,233 shares of unvested restricted stock excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the three month period ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. There wereno shares of unvested restricted stock excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
