BW LPG Limited, a leading investment holding company engaged in ship owning and chartering activities, has announced a dividend of $0.22 per share. The dividend, payable on September 15 to shareholders of record on September 5, underscores the company's commitment to returning value to its shareholders [2].

The dividend announcement comes amidst BW LPG's strong financial performance. In the second quarter of 2025, the company reported a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $43 million, yielding an annualised return on equity of 9%. The company's earnings per share (EPS) were $0.23, with a net leverage ratio remaining stable at 30.7% [2].

The dividend represents a 110% payout ratio of the quarterly Shipping NPAT and an annualised dividend yield of 5%. The dividend consists of 75% of Shipping NPAT and is further enhanced by retained dividends from BW Product Services’ 2024 results [2].

BW LPG's financial results were bolstered by healthy time charter equivalent (TCE) income and robust product services performance. The company's TCE income for the quarter was $153 million, with the BW LPG India subsidiary contributing $31 million. Product Services reported a gross profit of $15 million, driven by realized gains from cargoes and positive changes in mark-to-market valuations [2].

The company also made significant progress in its strategic financing and vessel acquisition efforts. BW LPG exercised its purchase option for BW Yushi, taking delivery in June 2025 for a consideration of $69.2 million. The company secured a $380 million term loan and revolving credit facility to finance the vessels acquired from Avance Gas. Additionally, BW LPG India secured a $215 million term loan facility to refinance its existing debt and support the acquisition of two modern Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs) [2].

The company's strong financial performance and strategic initiatives highlight its commitment to shareholder value and growth. The dividend announcement is a positive signal for investors, reflecting BW LPG's robust financial health and operational efficiency.
