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 June 30, 2026, our fleet consists oftwenty-seven VLGCs, includingone 93,000 cbm dual-fuel ECO-design Very Large Gas Carrier / Ammonia Carrier (“VLGC/AC”); one dual-fuel 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGC (“Dual-fuel ECO VLGC”); eighteen fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs (“ECO VLGCs”); one 82,000 cbm modern VLGC; four time chartered-in dual-fuel panamax VLGCs; one time chartered-in ECO Panamax VLGC andone time chartered-in modern VLGC. On June 22, 2026, we entered into a shipbuilding contract for a newbuilding dual-fuel Panamax VLGC with a cargo carrying capacity of 90,000 cbm and expected delivery from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. in the third calendar quarter of 2029. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we completed the sale of the VLGCCorsair and VLGCConstellation (see Note 17 below for further details). 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.
As of June 30, 2026, sixteen of our ECO-VLGCs, includingone of our time chartered-in ECO-VLGCs, and our VLGC/AC are equipped with exhaust gas cleaning systems (commonly referred to as “scrubbers”) to reduce sulfur emissions. Additionally, one of the chartered-in dual-fuel Panamax 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 U.S. 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 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, 2026 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2026.
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 June 30, 2026, 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 audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 (refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026) with the exception of the policy for accounting for vessels held for sale, which is included below.
Vessels Held for Sale
We classify a vessel as being held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: (i) management is committed to a plan to sell the vessel; (ii) the vessel is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the vessel have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the vessel is probable, and transfer of the vessel is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; (v)
the vessel is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. The vessels are no longer depreciated once they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
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. The adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position and/or results of operations. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our financial statement disclosures.
We have considered all other recent accounting pronouncements issued and believe that none will have a material effect on our financial statements.
3. Segment Reporting
Our Company operates in the international transportation of LPG with its fleet of vessels, each of which has the same type of customer, similar operations and maintenance requirements, operates in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, we have determined that our Company operates in one reportable segment.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and evaluates performance based on net income and operating income.
The following is a summary of information for oursingle reportable segment:

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., 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025.
As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, there was nothing 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 shared equally 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, as all significant performance activities which relate to approval of pool policies and strategies related to pool customers, the marketing of the pool for the procurement of customers for the pool vessels, the 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 June 30, 2026, the Helios Pool operated thirty-one VLGCs, including twenty-seven vessels from our fleet (includingsix vessels time chartered-in from unrelated parties), two MOL Energia vessels andtwo vessels from another participant.
As of June 30, 2026, we had net receivables from the Helios Pool of $211.9 million (net of amounts due to Helios Pool of $0.6 million which are reflected under “Due to related parties”), including $28.6 million of working capital ($22.0 million classified as due from related parties—non-current) contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. As of March 31, 2026, we had net receivables from the Helios Pool of $123.4 million, including $28.6 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. Our maximum exposure to losses from the pool as of June 30, 2026 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 statements of operations and were $0.6 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, 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 $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, 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 three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 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 status, fuel efficiency, fuel-type consumed, and speed are taken into consideration) and the 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 such amounts 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.
5. Vessels Held for Sale
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we determined that the sales of our 2014-built VLGCCorsair and two 2015-built VLGCs,Constellation andClermont, are probable of occurring within twelve months, and accordingly were reclassified to vessels held for sale. No gain or loss has been recorded as of June 30, 2026 and we have suspended the recognition of depreciation on these vessels. The carrying value of the three vessels totaled $156.4 million, which we reclassified to current assets on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026.

Additions to vessels, net, mainly consisted of capital improvements for certain of our VLGCs during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Our vessels, with a total carrying value of $971.0 million and $1,189.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, are first-priority mortgaged as collateral for our long-term debt (refer to Note 8 below).Captain John NP andCorsair were our only VLGCS that are not first-priority mortgaged as collateral for our long-term debt as of June 30, 2026, withCaptain John NP the only one as of March 31, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, there were indicators of impairment on one of our vessels. We determined estimated net operating cash flows for this vessel by applying various assumptions regarding future time charter equivalent revenues net of commissions, operating expenses, scheduled drydockings, expected offhire and scrap values and concluded thatno impairment charge was necessary because we believe the vessel’s carrying value is recoverable. No impairment charges were recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
On May 6, 2026, we completed the sale of the 2015-built VLGCCobraand recognized a gain of$30.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Time charter-in contracts
We did not time charter-in any new vessels during the three months ended June 30, 2026. All of our time chartered-in VLGCs were deployed in the Helios Pool and earned net pool revenues of $38.5 million and $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Office leases
We currently have operating leases for our offices in Stamford, Connecticut, USA; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Athens, Greece, which we determined to be operating leases and record the lease expense as part of general and administrative expenses in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 we extended the operating lease for our Athens office for an additional three years with an
option to extend the lease for a further three years that is considered reasonably certain to be exercised. As a result, a right-of-use asset and lease liability of$1.8 million were recognized on our balance sheets as of June 30, 2026.
Operating lease rent expense related to our office leases was as follows:

10. Common Shares
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 June 30, 2026, our total purchases under the 2022 Common Share Repurchase Authority totaled 355,511 shares for an aggregate consideration of $7.9 million. We are not obligated to make any common share repurchases.
We madeno purchases of our common shares during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
11. Dividends
On May 7, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors declared an irregular cash dividend of $1.00 per common share to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2026, totaling $42.8 million. We paid $42.6 million on May 28, 2026, with the remaining $0.2 million deferred until certain shares of restricted stock vest.
This was an irregular dividend. 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. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may increase, decrease or eliminate the dividend at any time.
12. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Our stock-based compensation expense is included within general and administrative expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and was $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost was $3.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and will be recognized over a remaining weighted average life of 1.01 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, 2026.

| Total revenues | $187,884,848 | $84,211,966 | | |||
Net pool revenues—related party depend on the net results of the Helios Pool, and the available days and pool points for each vessel. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.
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, and trade accounts receivable. Our principal financial liabilities consist of long-term debt, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, and accrued expenses.
| (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: Two of our long-term bank loans are based on SOFR and hence we are exposed to movements thereto. We entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge a majority of our variable interest rate exposure related to the 2023 A&R Debt Facility, with one such swap currently in effect as of June 30, 2026. The ratio between the debt outstanding under the 2023 A&R Debt Facility and the notional amount of the swap is 89% as of June 30, 2026. This interest rate swap carries a fixed interest rate of 2.8525%. The Areion Facility is currently unhedged. 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. |
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 June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, 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 months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
| (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:
| · · · · · · · | |||||

| Unrealized gain on investment securities | | $212,155 | | $3,034 | |
| Net gain on investment securities | $212,155 | | $3,034 | | |
We have long-term bank debt, the 2023 A&R Debt Facility and Areion Facility, for which we believe the carrying values approximate their fair value as the loans bear interest at variable interest rates based on SOFR at June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 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 represent 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 as computed using the treasury stock method.
The calculations of basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Three months ended · · | ||||||||
| (In U.S. dollars except share data) · · June 30, 2026 · · June 30, 2025 · · | ||||||||

| EPS: | | | | | | | | |
| Basic | | $3.25 | | $0.24 | | | ||
| Diluted | | $3.24 | | $0.24 | | | ||
There wereno shares of unvested restricted stock excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for anti-dilution for the three months ended June 30, 2026. There were 186,733 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 months ended June 30, 2025.
16. Commitments and Contingencies

Other
From time to time, we expect to be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking in merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We are not aware of any claim that is reasonably possible and required to be disclosed, or probable and for which a provision should be established in the unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, if applicable, we record undiscounted receivables for probable loss recoveries from insurance or other parties. We are not aware of any material claim that is reasonably possible and should be disclosed in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
17. Subsequent Events
Sale of Vessels and Prepayment of Long-term Debt
In July 2026, we completed the sale of our 2014-built VLGCCorsair and 2015-built VLGCConstellation receiving total vessel sale proceeds, net of commission, of $166.4 million. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of the two vessels totaled $102.8 million and the cumulative gain on sale of the vessels is expected to be approximately $63.5 million. Prior to the completion of the sales, we prepaid the $24.2 million outstanding balance of the associated debt ofCorsair during the three months ended June 30, 2026, and in July 2026, we prepaid $23.9 million of the BALCAP Facility’s then outstanding principal related to the 2015-built VLGCConstellation.
Dividend
On July 16, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors declared an irregular cash dividend of$1.00 per common share totaling approximately$42.8 million. The dividend is payable on or about August 12, 2026 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 27, 2026.
