FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”), including analyses and other information based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and statements relating to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under the sections referenced in the immediately preceding sentence and the PSLRA. Forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “pending,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seeks,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions, terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual future activities and results of operations to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements in this quarterly report.
These risks include the risks that are identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this quarterly report and of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and also include, among others, risks associated with the following:
Actual results could differ materially from expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements if one or more of the underlying assumptions or expectations prove to be inaccurate or is not realized. You should thoroughly read this report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this report include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
We caution readers of this report not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are made only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
The cash dividends referenced in this report are 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 the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, anticipated capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in its debt agreements, restrictions under applicable law, its 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.
As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, references to “Dorian,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar terms refer to Dorian LPG Ltd. and its subsidiaries.

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 of twenty-seven VLGCs, including one 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 and one 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 VLGC Corsair and VLGC Constellation (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, including one 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)
6
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 our single 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 of two 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 (including six vessels time chartered-in from unrelated parties), two MOL Energia vessels and two 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 VLGC Corsair and two 2015-built VLGCs, Constellation and Clermont, 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 and Corsair were our only VLGCS that are not first-priority mortgaged as collateral for our long-term debt as of June 30, 2026, with Captain 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 that no 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 VLGC Cobra and recognized a gain of $30.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

9. Leases
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.
Charter hire expenses for the VLGCs time chartered in were as follows:
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
12
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:
Operating lease rent expense

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 made no 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.

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.
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:

Net gain on investment securities
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:
Carrying Value
24,354,660

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.

There were no 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
Commitments under Newbuilding Contracts
On June 22, 2026, we entered into an agreement for a newbuilding dual-fuel Panamax VLGC with a cargo carrying capacity of 90,000 cbm that is expected to be delivered from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. in the third calendar quarter of 2029. As of June 30, 2026, we had the following commitments related to the construction of the newbuilding:
23,060,000

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had the following time charter-in commitments relating to VLGCs:
1,466,601
Operating Leases
We had the following commitments as a lessee under operating leases relating to our Denmark office:
62,647
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
17
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 VLGC Corsair and 2015-built VLGC Constellation 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 of Corsair 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 VLGC Constellation.
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Please also see the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this quarterly report.
Overview
We are a Marshall Islands corporation headquartered in the United States and primarily focused on owning and operating VLGCs, each with a cargo-carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm, in the LPG shipping industry. Our founding executives have managed vessels in the LPG shipping market since 2002. Our fleet currently consists of twenty-five VLGC carriers, including one 93,000 cbm dual-fuel ECO-design Very Large Gas Carrier / Ammonia Carrier, one dual-fuel 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGC; sixteen fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs; one 82,000 cbm modern VLGC; four time chartered-in dual-fuel panamax VLGCs; one time chartered-in ECO Panamax VLGC, and one 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. The twenty-five VLGCs in our fleet, including the six time chartered-in vessels, as of July 30, 2026, have an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 2.1 million cbm and an average age of 9.4 years.
Currently, fourteen of our ECO VLGCs, including one of our time chartered-in ECO-VLGCs, and our VLGC/AC, are fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems (commonly referred to as “scrubbers”) to reduce sulfur emissions. Vessels fitted with scrubbers allow us to reduce our emissions and to burn less refined fuel, which is frequently cheaper than more refined, lower sulfur grades. When the cost of more refined fuel exceeds that of less refined fuel, we are typically able to earn a higher TCE for spot voyages and to potentially contract time charters at higher rates compared to vessels without scrubbers. 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 began operations of the Helios Pool, which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under a variable rate time charter to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. The vessels entered into the Helios Pool may operate either in the spot market, pursuant to contracts of affreightment, or COAs, or on time charters of two years' duration or less. As of July 30, 2026, all twenty-five of our VLGCs were employed in the Helios Pool, including our six time chartered-in VLGCs.
Our customers, either directly or through the Helios Pool, include or have included global energy companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell plc, Equinor ASA, Total S.A., and Sunoco LP, commodity traders such as Glencore plc, Itochu Corporation, Bayegan Group, Gunvor Group, and the Vitol Group and importers such as E1 Corp., Indian Oil Corporation, SK Gas Co. Ltd., and Astomos Energy Corporation, or subsidiaries of the foregoing.
We continue to pursue a balanced chartering strategy by employing our vessels on a mix of multi-year time charters, some of which may include a profit-sharing component, shorter-term time charters, spot market voyages and COAs. See “Our Fleet” below for more information and the definition of Pool-TCO.

Revenues, which represent net pool revenues—related party and other revenues, net, were $187.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $103.7 million, or 123.1%, from $84.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher average TCE rates and increased available days. TCE rates rose by $36,200 per available day from $39,726 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $75,926 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher spot rates; partially offset by higher bunker prices. The Baltic Exchange Liquid Petroleum Gas Index, an index published daily by the Baltic Exchange for the spot market rate for the benchmark Ras Tanura-Chiba route (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton), averaged $199.694 during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to an average of $63.500 during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average price of very low sulfur fuel oil (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton) from Singapore and Fujairah increased from $511 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $863 during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, available days for our fleet increased from 2,086 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 2,469 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, mainly driven by an increase in the number of vessels in our fleet, and a decrease in the number of vessels drydocked.
Charter Hire Expenses
Charter hire expenses for the vessels chartered in from third parties were $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $11.9 million, or 110.9%, was mainly driven by an increase in time chartered-in days from 370 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 546 for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, there was an increase in the average rate per time chartered-in day.
21
Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses were $20.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, or $10,356 per vessel per calendar day, which is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time period for the technically-managed vessels that were in our fleet, decreased by $1.8 million, or 8.1% from $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of $1,110 per vessel per calendar day, from $11,466 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $10,356 per vessel per calendar day for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was mainly a result of a decrease of $1,310 per vessel per calendar day of non-capitalizable drydock-related operating expenses. Excluding non-capitalizable drydock-related operating expenses, daily operating expenses increased by $200 from $10,108 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $10,308 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, mainly as a result of increases in spares and stores and repairs and maintenance costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 20.2%, from $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $4.3 million in cash bonuses as a result in the timing of the recognition of discretionary cash bonuses in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026, due to the implementation of the Annual Cash Incentive Plan (the “ACIP”), which is recognized throughout the fiscal year. This was partially offset by increases of $0.4 million in employee related costs and benefits, $0.3 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses.
Gain on Disposal of Vessel
Gain on disposal of vessel amounted to $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and was attributable to the sale of the 2015-built VLGC Cobra. There was no gain on disposal of vessel for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs amounted to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $1.0 million, or 12.7%, from $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $1.0 million during this period was mainly due to (i) an increase of $0.7 million in loan expenses, (ii) a decrease of $0.5 million in capitalized interest, and (iii) an increase of $0.3 million in amortization of deferred financing fees, partially offset by (iv) a reduction of $0.5 million in interest on our long-term debt. The decrease in interest on our long-term debt was driven by a reduction in average indebtedness, excluding deferred financing fees, from $553.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $537.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Unrealized Gain / Loss on Derivatives
Unrealized gain on derivatives amounted to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $2.1 million difference is primarily attributable to changes in forward SOFR yield curves and changes in notional amounts.
Operating Statistics and Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with U.S.GAAP, we present certain operating statistics and non-GAAP measures to assist in the evaluation of our business performance. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and time charter equivalent rate. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income and revenues, which are the most directly comparable measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
22
We use these non-GAAP measures in assessing the performance of our ongoing operations and in planning and forecasting future periods. These adjusted measures provide a more comparable basis to analyze operating results and earnings and are measures commonly used by shareholders to measure our performance. We believe that these adjusted measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide meaningful supplemental information to assist investors and analysts in understanding our business results and assessing our prospects for future performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our business is capital intensive, and our future success depends on our ability to maintain a high-quality fleet. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $342.1 million and non-current restricted cash of $0.1 million.
Our primary source of capital during the three months ended June 30, 2026 were (i) $30.5 million in cash generated from operations and (ii) $80.7 million from proceeds net of commission and fees of the sale of our 2015-built VLGC Cobra. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding balance of our long-term debt, net of deferred financing fees of $4.9 million, was $507.5 million including $158.7 million of principal on our long-term debt scheduled to be repaid within the next twelve months.
Operating expenses, including expenses to maintain the quality of our vessels in order to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, the funding of working capital requirements, long-term debt repayments, financing costs, commitments, as described in Note 16 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for the building of VLGCs, and drydocking represent our short-term, medium-term and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2026. We anticipate satisfying our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months with cash on hand, cash from operations and, if needed, drawdowns on the revolving credit facility available under the 2023 A&R Debt Facility. We may also seek additional liquidity through alternative sources of debt financings and/or through equity financings by way of private or public offerings. However, if these sources are insufficient to satisfy our
24
short-term liquidity needs, or to satisfy our future medium-term or long-term liquidity needs, we may need to seek alternative sources of financing and/or modifications of our existing credit facilities and financing arrangements. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing or modifications to our existing credit facility and financing arrangements on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
On April 20, 2026, we prepaid $16.5 million of the 2023 A&R Debt Facility, the tranche related to the 2015-built VLGC Cobra. On May 6, 2026, we completed the sale of this vessel, receiving proceeds (including the purchase of bunkers, lubricants, etc.) net of commission and fees of $81.9 million.
On July 16, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors has 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.
These were irregular dividends. All declarations of dividends are subject to the determination and discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors based on its consideration of various factors, including the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, anticipated capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in its debt agreements, restrictions under applicable law, its business prospects and other factors that the Company’s Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may increase, decrease or eliminate the dividend at any time. Our dividend policy will also impact our future liquidity position. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend.
On July 13, 2026, we prepaid $23.9 million of the BALCAP Facility’s then outstanding principal related to the 2015-built VLGC Constellation.
On July 8, 2026, we completed the sale of our 2014-built VLGC Corsair and received proceeds net of commission of $80.8 million.
On July 27, 2026, we completed the sale of our 2015-built VLGC Constellation and received proceeds net of commission of $85.6 million.
As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition or charter-in of additional vessels. We may choose to pursue such opportunities through internal growth, joint ventures, business acquisitions, or other transactions. We expect to finance the purchase price of any future acquisitions either through internally generated funds, public or private debt financings, public or private issuances of additional equity securities or a combination of these forms of financing.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents provided by/(used in) operating, financing and investing activities for the three months ended June 30:
Operating Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $30.5 million, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cash generated from operations of $29.7 million is primarily related to increased cash flows from operating profits (refer to Results of Operations – For the three months June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months June 30, 2025, for drivers of changes in revenues and expenses for the applicable periods) partially offset by changes in working capital, mainly from amounts due from the Helios Pool as distributions from the Helios Pool are impacted by the timing of the completion of voyages, spot market rates and bunker prices.
Net cash flow from operating activities depends upon our overall profitability, market rates for vessels employed on voyage charters and in the Helios Pool, charter rates agreed to for time charters, the timing and amount of payments for drydocking expenditures and unscheduled repairs and maintenance, fluctuations in working capital balances and bunker costs.
Investing Cash Flows. Net cash provided by investing activities was $80.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by investing activities was comprised of $80.7 million in proceeds, net of commission, on the sale of our 2015-built VLGC Cobra, partially offset by $0.2 million of payments for vessels under construction (related to Areion delivered in the prior quarter) and other vessel capital expenditures. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was comprised of $3.1 million of capital expenditure payments for vessels under construction and vessel capital expenditures.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities was $96.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $37.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities consisted of (i) repayments of long-term debt of $53.4 million (including $40.7 million to prepay debt associated with vessel sales); (ii) dividend payments of $42.5 million; and iii) financing costs paid of $0.3 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities consisted of (i) dividend payments of $21.2 million; (ii) repayments of long-term debt of $14.0 million; and iii) payments to repurchase common shares of $1.8 million.
Capital Expenditures. LPG transportation is a capital‑intensive business, requiring significant investment to maintain an efficient fleet and to stay in regulatory compliance.
We are generally required to complete a special survey for a vessel once every five years. Drydocking of vessels occurs every five years unless an extension is granted by the classification society to seven and one-half years and the vessel is not older than 15 years of age. Intermediate surveys are performed every two and one-half years after every special survey. Drydocking each vessel takes approximately 20 to 35 days. We spend significant amounts for scheduled drydocking (including the cost of classification society surveys) for each of our vessels.
As our vessels age and our fleet expands, our drydocking expenses will increase. We estimate the current cash outlay for a VLGC special survey to be approximately $2.1 million to $2.3 million per vessel (excluding any capital improvements, such as scrubbers, ballast water management systems, energy saving devices, and performance
26
improvement additions to the vessel that may be made during such drydockings) and the cost of an intermediate survey to be between $150,000 and $250,000 per vessel. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations are primarily included as part of our drydocking and classification society survey costs. In order to comply with current emissions regulations, we have installed scrubbers on fourteen of our vessels and have one chartered-in scrubber-equipped vessel, which allows us to burn heavy fuel oil. Our other non-dual fuel vessels currently consume compliant fuels on board (0.5% sulfur), which are readily available globally, but at a significantly higher cost. We also have one dual-fuel ECO VLGC/AC, one dual-fuel ECO VLGC and four chartered-in dual-fuel vessels that have the capability to burn LPG as fuel, which we believe provides an economic benefit over traditional fuel. Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Company— We may incur increasing costs for the drydocking, maintenance or replacement of our vessels as they age, and, as our vessels age, the risks associated with older vessels could adversely affect our ability to obtain profitable charters” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.
On June 22, 2026, we entered into an agreement for a newbuilding dual-fuel Panamax VLGC with a cargo carrying capacity of 90,000 cbm and is expected to be delivered from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in the third calendar quarter of 2029. As of June 30, 2026 we had approximately $115.3 million of contractual commitments outstanding related to the newbuilding that we expect to settle during certain milestones through the expected delivery of the vessel.
For information relating to our secured term loan facilities and Japanese financing arrangements, refer to Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026 and Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2026 included herein.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off‑balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The following is an update to the Critical Accounting Estimates set forth in “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.
Impairment of long-lived assets. We review our vessels for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In addition, we compare independent appraisals to our carrying value for indicators of impairment to our vessels. When such indicators are present, an asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition to its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value is in excess of the estimated future undiscounted net operating cash flows. The impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair market value of the asset. The new lower cost basis would result in a lower annual depreciation than before the impairment.
Our estimates of fair market value assume that our vessels are all in good and seaworthy condition without need for repair and if inspected would be certified in class without notations of any kind. Our estimates are based on information available from various industry sources, including:
27
As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of fair market value are inherently uncertain. In addition, vessel values are highly volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or future fair market value of our vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them.
As of June 30, 2026, independent appraisals of the commercially and technically managed vessels in our fleet resulted in indications of impairment on one vessel in our fleet and, in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment an undiscounted cash flow test was performed on that vessel. 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 that no impairment charge was necessary because we believe the vessel carrying value is recoverable, and, as a result no impairment charges were recognized for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
In addition, we performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2026 to determine the effect on recoverability of changes in daily TCE rates. The sensitivity analysis suggests that we would not incur an impairment charge on the vessel with an indicator of impairment if daily TCE rates based on the 10-year historical average spot market rates were reduced by 30%. An impairment charge of approximately $4.0 million on this vessel would be triggered by a reduction of 40% in the 10-year historical average spot market rates.
The amount, if any, and timing of any impairment charges we may recognize in the future will depend upon the then current and expected future charter rates and vessel values, which may differ materially from those used in our estimates as of June 30, 2026.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For additional discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.
Interest Rate Risk
The LPG shipping industry is capital intensive, requiring significant amounts of investment. Much of this investment is provided in the form of long-term debt. Our 2023 A&R Debt Facility and Areion Facility currently contain interest rates that fluctuate with SOFR. We have one outstanding interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2026 to hedge a majority of our exposure to fluctuations of interest rate risk associated with the 2023 A&R Debt Facility. We have hedged $128.0 million of amortizing principal as of June 30, 2026 and thus increasing interest rates could adversely impact our future earnings. For the 12 months following June 30, 2026, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 20 basis points in the underlying SOFR rates would result in an increase or decrease of our interest expense on all of our non-hedged interest-bearing debt by $0.1 million assuming all other variables are held constant.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
29
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 should be disclosed or probable and for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common shares. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.
