Ardmore Shipping Corporation reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.0 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This compares to $61.8 million, or $1.48 per share, for the same period in 2024.

Revenue for Q2 2025 was $72.0 million, a decrease of $49.3 million from $121.3 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to lower spot rates and fewer spot revenue days. The average Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate for the fleet was $22,468 per day, down from $37,762 per day in Q2 2024.

For Q3 2025, Ardmore anticipates strengthening momentum, with MR tankers 50% fixed at approximately $24,650 per day and chemical tankers 65% fixed at approximately $21,650 per day. The company declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per common share for Q2 2025, an increase from the previous quarter.

Ardmore closed a new $350 million revolving credit facility in July 2025, secured by 20 owned vessels, priced at SOFR plus 1.80% margin, and maturing in 2031. This facility enhances financial flexibility and supports the company's low cash breakeven.

The company also agreed to acquire three modern, Korean-built MR tankers for $103.9 million, with deliveries expected in Q3 2025. This includes one 2020-built scrubber-installed vessel for $38.3 million and two 2017-built vessels for $32.8 million each, to be financed by cash and revolving credit facilities.

Furthermore, Ardmore secured a three-year time charter for a chemical tanker at $19,250 per day and two short-term fixed-rate charters for MR tankers at an average rate of $22,500 per day. The company also recorded a $12.3 million gain on the sale of the Ardmore Seafarer in April 2024 and a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of finance leases in Q2 2024 related to early prepayment for the Ardmore Seawolf and Ardmore Seahawk.
