QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS:

●

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company achieved average combined time charter equivalent earnings of $49,100 per day, comprised of $35,000 per day for the Company’s VLCCs on time-charter and $54,600 per day for the Company’s VLCCs operating in the spot market. The result for the Company’s VLCCs operating in the spot market, measured on a discharge-to-discharge basis, was $58,500 per day for the first quarter of 2023.

●	Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was $71.9 million. Net profit for the quarter was $38.0 million which equates to $0.23 per basic share.

●

In January 2023, the Company entered into a $405 million secured credit facility, including a $100 million uncommitted incremental facility, with ING and Nordea acting as joint coordinators and bookrunners with ING, Nordea, ABN Amro, Credit Agricole, Danish Ship Finance and SEB as mandated lead arrangers. The new facility bears interest at a rate equal to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin of 1.90%, including the historical Credit Adjustment Spread (CAS) of 26 basis points. The cost of the facility compares to a LIBOR equivalent margin of 164 basis points, representing a reduction in the Company’s borrowing cost. The new facility refinanced the outstanding amount on the old ABN Amro credit facility and is secured by 10 of the Company’s VLCCs. The new facility is in line with the “DHT-style financing” including a six-year tenor and a 20-year repayment profile.

●

In January 2023, the Company terminated seven interest rate swaps that would have matured in the second and third quarter of 2023. The Company received $3.3 million in connection with the terminations, which had no P&L effect for the quarter.

●

In February 2023, the Company entered into a three-year time charter contract, including profit sharing, for DHT Puma. The fixed time charter period has a base rate of $33,500 per day. The profit-sharing structure is calculated based on indexes. All earnings up to $40,000 will go to DHT, with earnings in excess to be shared equally between the customer and DHT. The customer has the option to extend for one year with an increase in hire.

●

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on May 25, 2023, to shareholders of record as of May 18, 2023. This marks the 53^rd consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The shares will trade ex-dividend from May 17, 2023.

^* One vessel encountered bad weather damage, accounting for the predominant part of the unscheduled off hire.

During the first quarter the market was healthy, demonstrated by the swift but steady recovery after the fall in freight rates early in the quarter. China has increased imports of crude oil in response to increasing refinery runs to support rising economic activity due to the opening up of its society with increased mobility. Into the second quarter, Asian refining margins have come off but are still profitable. The macro-economic challenges have not abated with a recession in some shape or form being a possibility. The leading agencies forecast growing oil demand, in particular from the second half of the year. OPEC+, however, surprised the market with announced production cuts from May. How the cuts will be implemented and how it will impact trade flows is yet to be seen in detail, but it could be a temporary dent in an otherwise constructive market for our business.

The VLCC orderbook is close to non-existent with only 11 ships left to deliver within this year. With no new ordering of VLCCs taking place, this bodes well for a positive supply/demand dynamic as VLCCs are the true workhorse of the crude oil trade, transporting close to 50% of seaborne crude oil. Reflecting on the fleet growth over the recent years, adjusted for the expected overall fleet productivity loss resulting from hard and soft sanctions in the oil trade, expanded transportation distances and upcoming regulations for ships to curb emissions, one could argue that the fleet is of a size to profitably service the industry in the foreseeable future.

We are convinced of the merits of our strategy and continue to focus on running our business as efficiently as we can with strong revenue generation for our assets, a competitive cost base and low financial leverage. With this backdrop, we believe our policy of returning 100% of net income as quarterly cash dividends will reward our shareholders.

As of March 31, 2023, DHT had a fleet of 23 VLCCs, with a total dwt of 7,152,498. For more details on the fleet, please refer to the web site: https://www.dhtankers.com/fleetlist/

SUBSEQUENT EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

●

So far in the second quarter of 2023, the Company has completed the installation of an exhaust gas cleaning system for one vessel. The last two vessels of the retrofit project are expected to be completed during the remainder of 2023. Following this, the Company will have all of its vessels fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems.

Total spot days for the quarter	1,390
Spot days booked to date	900

^* The month of April includes a profit-sharing. The months of May and June assumes only the base rate.

●

Thus far in the second quarter of 2023, 65% of the available VLCC spot days have been booked at an average rate of $70,300 per day on a discharge-to-discharge basis. 75% of the available VLCC days, combined spot and time-charter days, have been booked at an average rate of $55,800 per day.

FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIALS

The Company reported shipping revenues for the first quarter of 2023 of $131.5 million compared to shipping revenues of $76.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase from the 2022 period to the 2023 period includes $66.9 million attributable to higher tanker rates partially offset by $11.8 million attributable to a decrease in total revenue days.

Other revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were $1.1 million and mainly relate to technical management services provided.

Voyage expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $37.6 million, compared to voyage expenses of $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Vessel operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $18.4 million compared to $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $25.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $33.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The change was mainly due to decreased depreciation of exhaust gas cleaning systems of $4.9 million and decreased depreciation of $2.8 million related to drydockings and fewer vessels.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expense for the first quarter of 2023 was $4.6 million, consisting of $3.7 million cash and $0.9 million non-cash charge, compared to $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, consisting of $4.1 million cash and $2.0 million non-cash charge. Non-cash G&A includes accrual for social security tax.

Net financial expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $8.0 million compared to net financial income of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to a non-cash gain of $7.9 million related to interest rate derivatives in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a non-cash loss of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 and increased interest expense of $1.4 million due to increased interest rates.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net profit in the first quarter of 2023 of $38.0 million, or income of $0.23 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share, compared to a net loss in the first quarter of 2022 of $17.3 million, or a loss of $0.10 per basic share and $0.10 per diluted share. The increase from the 2022 period to the 2023 period was mainly due to higher tanker rates.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2023 was $66.5 million compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was due to a profit of $38.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, and a $5.8 million change in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in non-cash items included in net income.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 and was related to investment in vessels. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 and was related to investment in vessels.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2023 was $60.1 million comprised of $216.8 million related to repayment of long-term debt in connection with refinancing, $61.9 million related to cash dividend paid and $0.6 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt, partially offset by $216.4 million related to issuance of long-term debt and $3.3 million related to proceeds from sale of derivatives. Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2022 was $5.4 million comprised of $3.3 million related to cash dividend paid, and $1.9 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt.

As of March 31, 2023, the cash balance was $117.5 million, compared to $125.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

The Company monitors its covenant compliance on an ongoing basis. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 162,986,561 shares of common stock outstanding compared to 162,653,339 shares as of December 31, 2022.

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share for the first quarter of 2023 payable on May 25, 2023, for shareholders of record as of May 18, 2023.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company assesses the financial performance of its business using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are termed “non-GAAP measures” because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measures include “Adjusted Net Revenue”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted spot time charter equivalent per day”. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for its investors and, when considered together with the Company’s IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations. In addition, DHT’s management measures the financial performance of the Company, in part, by using these non-GAAP measures, along with other performance metrics. The Company does not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or as superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under IFRS.

** For vessels operating on spot charters, voyage revenues are calculated on a discharge-to-discharge basis. Under IFRS 15, spot charter voyage revenues are calculated on a load-to-discharge basis. IFRS 15 impact refers to the timing difference between discharge-to-discharge and load-to-discharge basis.

Such measurement is based on techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward interest rates (from observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

Note 5 – Vessels

The carrying values of the vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel.
