**【Management Opening Remarks】**

**【CEO Commentary】**
- Emphasized tanker market fundamentals: 1 million b/d oil demand growth, OPEC+ production increases, and geopolitical tensions supporting rates.
- Supply-side dynamics: 14% of fleet on order (1/3 needed to replace aging vessels), with 50% of fleet over 20 years old by 2029.
- Fleet strategy: maintaining 1.5-year time charter book ($230 million future revenue), balancing fixed and spot exposure.
- Capital allocation: prioritizing fleet modernization, balance sheet optimization, and shareholder returns.

**【CFO Commentary】**
- Q3 free cash flow of $63 million (10% annualized yield), driven by $108 million EBITDA and $67 million vessel sales proceeds.

- 2026 breakeven rate guidance: $14,500/day (up from $13,100/day due to higher dry dock costs).
- Liquidity update: $413 million cash post-NOK bond settlement, $258 million Ocean Yield lease repayment in Q4.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Market Trends**: Mid-sized tankers (Suezmax/Aframax) benefiting from VLCCs returning to core crude routes, while MRs outperforming due to Russian diesel export constraints.
- **Geopolitical Impact**: Sanctions on Russian oil exports driving demand for compliant fleets, particularly in product tankers.
- **Fleet Renewal**: Company plans to continue selling older vessels (average age >17.5 years) and acquiring modern, eco-compliant assets (e.g., 2020-built VLCC for $107 million).
- **Inventory Levels**: High barrels on water but no significant onshore inventory build, with flat forward curve limiting offshore storage incentives.
- **Divestiture Strategy**: Despite strong rates, maintaining disciplined approach to asset sales to optimize fleet age and earnings potential.
