Udo Lange, Chief Executive Officer of Stolt-Nielsen Limited, commented:
"Our businesses enjoy a strong position in each of their respective market segments and have delivered a solid performance again this quarter.
"Our diversified portfolio has shown resilience to market fluctuations such that, despite a sustained challenging environment, the Company has delivered a quarterly EBITDA of just over $190 million. Stolt Tankers' EBITDA fell 27% from the same quarter last year, while in aggregate the other areas of our operations delivered an increase in EBITDA of 13%, diluting the impact of softer shipping markets.
"Stolt Tankers saw further weakening in earnings due to the continued geopolitical volatility. Time-charter equivalent (TCE) earnings dropped by 26% to $24,838 per day, versus record levels in the same quarter last year. Events in the Red Sea continue to impact the shipping markets, amplified by general uncertainty brought on by geopolitical instability and ongoing trade wars and tariffs. In the ongoing volatile environment, we saw improved utilisation at Stolthaven Terminals, but this was offset by lower throughput volume and revenue, resulting in a small decline in profit. At Stolt Tank Containers, operating profit was down year-over-year following weaker demand caused by uncertainty around tariffs."
