• Q4 & FY2025 Financial Performance

  Flex LNG met its full-year guidance for Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rates ($71,728/day) and Adjusted EBITDA ($251.1 million). However, the company reported a significant year-over-year decline in GAAP net income and basic earnings per share for the full year 2025.

• Dividend Declaration

  The Board of Directors declared a consistent quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025, payable on or around March 12, 2026.

• Market Outlook and Fleet Exposure

  Management anticipates continued volatility in the spot market for LNG shipping over the next 12-18 months, with up to three vessels, including the Flex Aurora, expected to be exposed to this softer market.

• Strengthened Balance Sheet

  The company ended 2025 with a robust cash balance of $447.6 million and has no debt maturities before 2029, following successful refinancing initiatives in 2025 that released $137 million in net cash proceeds.

Flex LNG's Q4 and full-year 2025 results demonstrate operational stability, with key metrics like Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rates and Adjusted EBITDA aligning with or slightly exceeding company guidance. The consistent $0.75 per share dividend underscores a commitment to shareholder returns, supported by a strengthened balance sheet with no debt maturities before 2029 and a robust cash position. However, the significant year-over-year decline in GAAP net income and EPS, coupled with management's expectation of continued volatility and a soft spot market for LNG shipping in the next 12-18 months, presents a mixed outlook. Investors should monitor the impact of the soft spot market on the company's uncontracted vessels and the broader LNG shipping environment.
