Summary of Third Quarter 2025 and Other Recent Significant Events

• Below is a summary of the average daily Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") revenue (see Non-IFRS Measures section below) and duration of contracted voyages and time charters for the Company's vessels (both in the pools and outside of the pools) thus far in the fourth quarter of 2025 as of the date hereof (See footnotes to "Other operating data" table below for the definition of daily TCE revenue):

⁽¹⁾ Expected Revenue Days are the total number of calendar days in the quarter for each vessel, less the total number of estimated off-hire days during the period associated with repairs or drydockings. Consequently, Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in revenue days. The Company uses revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.

• Below is a summary of the average daily TCE revenue earned by the Company's vessels during the third quarter of 2025:

• In October 2025, the Company reached agreements with the lenders on certain of its secured credit facilities to make unscheduled prepayments totaling $154.6 million in aggregate. This amount represents the scheduled principal amortization due under the Company's credit facilities from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. These prepayments are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025.
• In October 2025, the Company entered into a time charter-out agreement on an LR2 product tanker, STI Spiga, for one year at a rate of $35,000 per day.
• In September 2025, the Company entered into agreements to sell two 2019 built scrubber-fitted LR2 product tankers, STI Lobelia and STI Lavender, for $61.2 million per vessel, and the 2020 built scrubber-fitted MR product tanker, STI Maestro, for $42.0 million. The sales of these vessels are expected to close within the fourth quarter of 2025.
• In August 2025, the Company commenced a time charter-out agreement on an LR2 product tanker, STI Orchard, for a term of five years at a rate of $28,350 per day.
• In August 2025, the Company commenced a bareboat charter-out agreement on an MR product tanker, STI Bosphorus, at a bareboat rate of $13,150 per day (which is equivalent to a time charter equivalent rate of approximately $21,000 per day). The vessel is chartered to a third-party joint venture which re-flagged the vessel to the United States in order for it to participate in the U.S. Government’s Tanker Security Program (TSP). The contract will remain in effect until the vessel reaches 20 years of age, which will occur in 2037, subject to annual renewal within the National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”).
• During the third quarter of 2025, the Company sold 4,778,000 common shares of DHT Holdings Inc. (“DHT”) at an average price of $12.50 per share. In October 2025, the Company sold an additional 502,686 common shares at an average price of $12.71 per share. The Company owns 3,551,794 common shares of DHT as of October 28, 2025.

Securities Repurchase Program

As of October 28, 2025, there is $173.4 million available under the Company's 2023 Securities Repurchase Program.

Diluted Weighted Number of Shares

The computation of earnings per share is determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive shares arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan. These potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares outstanding was 46,599,567. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 48,818,293, which included the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan.

Current Liquidity

As of October 28, 2025, the Company had $626.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $788.3 million of undrawn revolver capacity, which includes $247.4 million of availability under the revolving portion of the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility, $40.9 million of availability under the 2023 $225.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 million of availability under the 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.

Within the next two weeks, the Company expects to receive approximately $61.8 million from the Scorpio pools with respect to the monthly cash distribution for October 2025. Additionally, the Company expects to receive $159.5 million in net proceeds (after estimated selling costs) from the sales of STI Maestro, STI Lobelia and STI Lavender during the fourth quarter of 2025. The debt related to these vessels was repaid in September and October 2025. After taking into account these two inflows, and deducting recently announced debt prepayments (described further below) the Company's pro-forma cash and gross debt positions as of October 28, 2025 are $626.2 million and $660.1 million, respectively.

Debt

Set forth below is a summary of the principal balances of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness as of the dates presented:

⁽¹⁾ In August 2025, the Company commenced a bareboat charter-out agreement on an MR product tanker, STI Bosphorus, at a bareboat rate of $13,150 per day (which is equivalent to a time charter equivalent rate of approximately $21,000 per day). The legal structure of this agreement triggered a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding debt related to this vessel under the Company's 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility. Accordingly, the Company prepaid $12.7 million on this facility in July 2025 in advance of the commencement date, consisting of $3.5 million on the term portion of the loan and $9.2 million on the drawn revolving portion, which cannot be redrawn. The undrawn revolving portion of this facility was not impacted by this prepayment.

In September 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the 2020 built scrubber-fitted MR product tanker, STI Maestro, for $42.0 million. The outstanding debt of $5.1 million was repaid on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility in September 2025, with a corresponding $10.2 million reduction in the undrawn revolving portion of the facility. This sale is expected to close within the fourth quarter of 2025.

In September 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell two 2019 built scrubber-fitted LR2 product tankers, STI Lobelia and STI Lavender, for $61.2 million per vessel. An aggregate of $14.0 million was repaid during October 2025 on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility, with a corresponding $30.7 million reduction in the undrawn revolving portion of the facility. These sales are expected to close within the fourth quarter of 2025.

⁽²⁾ In July 2025, the Company submitted notice to exercise the purchase option on the LR2 product tanker that is financed under this arrangement, STI Symphony. This vessel is scheduled to be purchased in February 2026 and the outstanding lease obligation on the date of purchase is scheduled to be $18.9 million.

⁽³⁾ In June 2025, the Company submitted notice to exercise the purchase options on the two LR2 product tankers that are currently financed under this arrangement, STI Guard and STI Gallantry. These vessels are scheduled to be purchased in December 2025 and the aggregate outstanding lease obligation on the date of purchase is scheduled to be $46.8 million.

Set forth below are the estimated expected future principal repayments on the Company's outstanding indebtedness, which includes principal amounts due under the Company's secured credit facilities, lease financing arrangements and Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 (which also include actual scheduled payments made from October 1, 2025 through October 28, 2025):

⁽¹⁾ Amounts represent the principal payments due on the Company’s outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2025.

⁽²⁾ In October 2025, the Company prepaid $14.0 million on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility related in advance of the pending sales of STI Lobelia and STI Lavender.

⁽³⁾ The unscheduled prepayments reflect the aggregate outstanding lease liability on STI Guard and STI Gallantry, which are currently financed under the 2021 Ocean Yield Lease Financing. In June 2025, the Company submitted notice to exercise the purchase options on these vessels in December 2025.

⁽⁴⁾ The unscheduled prepayments reflect the outstanding lease liability on STI Symphony, which is currently financed under the Ocean Yield Lease Financing. In July 2025, the Company submitted notice to exercise the purchase option on this vessel in February 2026.

⁽⁵⁾ In October 2025, the Company reached agreements with the lenders on certain of its secured credit facilities to make unscheduled prepayments totaling $154.6 million in aggregate. This amount represents the scheduled principal amortization due under the Company's credit facilities from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. These prepayments are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Drydock and Off-Hire Update

Set forth below is a table summarizing the drydock activity that occurred during the third quarter of 2025 and the estimated expected payments to be made for the Company's drydocks through the end of 2026. This table also includes an estimate of off-hire days for these periods which includes (i) estimated off-hire days for drydocks, and (ii) estimated off-hire time for general repairs.

⁽¹⁾ These costs include estimated cash payments for drydocks. These amounts may include costs incurred for previous projects for which payments may not be due until subsequent quarters, or payments that are due in advance of the scheduled service and may be scheduled to occur in quarters prior to the actual drydocks. The timing of the payments set forth are estimates only and may vary as the timing of the related drydocks finalize.

⁽²⁾ Represents the total estimated off-hire days during the period for both drydockings or general repairs, including vessels that commenced work in a previous period. The number of off-hire days set forth in this table are estimates only and actual off-hire days may vary.

⁽³⁾ Represents the number of vessels scheduled to commence drydock. It does not include vessels that commenced work in prior periods but will be completed in a subsequent period. Additionally, the timing set forth in these tables may vary as drydock times are finalized.

Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2024

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded net income of $84.5 million compared to net income of $158.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:

• TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024:

• TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $25.3 million to $232.9 million, from $258.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Overall, the average daily TCE revenue decreased to $26,231 per vessel during the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $28,488 per vessel during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The average number of vessels was 99.0 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 104.8 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
  
  TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 declined as compared to the same period in the previous year. Both periods were characterized by strong demand driven by growing underlying consumption of refined petroleum products and robust export volumes. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the product tanker market was also impacted by inflated freight rates as much of the global shipping fleet avoided the Southern Red Sea due to attacks on commercial vessels in that region. By 2025, while the situation in the Southern Red Sea remained unresolved, trade patterns and supply chains for refined petroleum products adjusted, and the spike in daily spot TCE rates caused by the initial disruption normalized. This led to a reduction in TCE revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

• Vessel operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $6.6 million to $74.3 million, from $80.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in vessel operating costs was primarily driven by a decrease in the average number of vessels as a result of the sales of 12 vessels throughout 2024. Additionally, average daily vessel operating costs decreased slightly to $8,162 per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $8,395 per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This improvement was driven by small improvements spread across several different expense categories.
• Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $0.8 million to $46.4 million, from $45.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased depreciation stemming from the completed drydocks during 2024 and the first nine months of 2025. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation resulting from six vessels either being sold or classified as held for sale since the third quarter of 2024.
• General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $0.4 million to $29.6 million, from $30.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to decreases in cash compensation, administrative services costs and professional fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the amortization of restricted stock.
• Financial expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $0.9 million to $20.0 million, from $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to the overall reduction in interest expense on debt and sale leaseback arrangements due to the Company's deleveraging efforts. Average indebtedness was $910.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $980.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally:
  • The Company recorded a $0.9 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and write-offs of deferred financing fees during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a nominal amount during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
  • Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
• Dividend income and fair value gain on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net includes $2.1 million of dividends received from the Company's investment in DHT during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a fair value gain of $12.7 million in the value of this investment as of September 30, 2025.

⁽¹⁾ The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, includes the effect of potentially dilutive unvested shares of restricted stock.

Dividend Policy

The declaration and payment of dividends is subject at all times to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The timing and the amount of dividends, if any, depends on the Company's earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in loan agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of dividends and other factors.

The Company's dividends paid during 2024 and 2025 were as follows:

On October 29, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per common share, with a payment date of December 5, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of November 14, 2025 (the record date). As of October 29, 2025, there were 51,762,790 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding.

Non-IFRS Measures

Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information

This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that the presentation of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.

TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2024". The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not available to the Company without unreasonable effort.
