Management Commentary
Mr. Jerry Kalogiratos, Chief Executive Officer of CCEC, commented:
"During the fourth quarter, we continued to execute on our strategy to build a leading gas transportation platform, delivering resilient earnings and strong cash generation from our modern LNG fleet. We expanded our long-term growth profile by ordering three latest-technology LNG carriers for delivery in 2028 and 2029, further reinforcing our position as the largest U.S.-listed LNG shipping company.
We also advanced our transition away from container shipping, agreeing to the sale of an additional Neo-Panamax container vessel in the fourth quarter, with the proceeds from the sale received in the first quarter of 2026 used to further strengthen our balance sheet. In early January, we took delivery of the Active, our first LCO2/multi-gas carrier, marking an important milestone as we enter emerging energy-transition markets, in parallel with our presence in commercially competitive conventional gas trades. Supported by our contracted cash flows, disciplined capital allocation, and substantial liquidity, we remain focused on funding our orderbook and creating long-term value for our shareholders."
In November 2023, the Company announced its decision to shift its strategic focus towards the transportation of various forms of gas to industrial customers, including LNG and emerging new commodities in connection with the energy transition. As part of this strategy, we agreed to acquire 11 newbuild LNG Carriers ("LNG/Cs") and in June 2024, we further expanded the Company's gas-focused portfolio with the acquisition of 10 gas carriers, including four liquid CO(2) ("LCO(2) ") / multi-gas and six dual-fuel multi-gas carriers (the "Gas Fleet"). In December 2025, we ordered an additional three latest-technology LNG/Cs.
Since December 2023, the Company has also completed the sale of 14 container vessels. In view of this strategic shift, we present our financial results on a continuing operations basis, except for where reference is made to discontinued operations. Financial results from continuing operations include revenues, expenses and cash flows arising from 13 vessels in-the-water during Q4 2025, including 12 latest generation LNG/Cs and a 13,312 twenty-foot equivalent unit ("TEU") Neo-Panamax container vessel.
Financial results from discontinued operations include revenues, expenses and cash flows arising from the 14 container vessels we have sold, following the announcement of our strategic shift in November 2023. Please refer to Appendix A Discontinued Operations.
Fleet Update
The first of our LCO(2) /multi-gas carriers, the Active (28,629 DWT, 22,000 CBM, low-pressure LCO(2) carrier, Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd., South Korea) was delivered to the Company on January 5, 2026, and commenced a six-month time charter transporting LPG, with an option for a further six-month extension with an energy trading company. The acquisition of the Active was financed with $29.4 million cash on hand and a 12-year ECA-backed loan of $48.9 million. The loan is repayable in 48 quarterly instalments of $0.6 million, with a balloon payment of $18.0 million payable with the final instalment in December 2037. The Company may borrow an additional amount of up to $7.5 million if the vessel secures long-term employment.
Container Divestment Update
On October 29, 2025, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement ("MOA") for the sale of the M/V Buenaventura Express (142,411 DWT / 13,696 TEU, eco container vessel, built 2023, Hyundai Samho Industries Co. Ltd, South Korea). The vessel was delivered to its new owners on January 19, 2026, and we recognized a total gain from the sale of $4.2 million. Cash proceeds were used to pay down outstanding debt of $84.4 million, with the remaining balance allocated to general corporate purposes. The divestment of this additional container vessel is consistent with the Company's stated strategy to shift our strategic focus towards the transportation of various forms of gas to industrial customers, including LNG and emerging new commodities in connection with the energy transition. Since December 2023, CCEC has sold 14 container vessels generating gross proceeds of approximately $814.3 million. After this latest sale, the Company retains only a 13,312 TEU container vessel in its fleet, currently employed on a long-term time-charter through 2033, with options to extend through 2039.
Contracting of three latest-technology LNG/Cs
On December 29, 2025, CCEC announced that it had secured three LNG/C berths at HD Hyundai Samho Co., Ltd., with one vessel scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2028 and two further deliveries in the first quarter of 2029. The en bloc ship building price of these vessels is $769.5 million. The vessels have been designed to incorporate a number of upgrades in their specifications and are expected to rank amongst the most efficient LNG/Cs in the global fleet in terms of fuel consumption and boil-off rates.
With its latest order for three additional LNG/Cs, the Company reaffirms its strategic position as the largest US-listed LNG shipping company, with 12 LNG/Cs currently in the water and nine LNG/Cs on order ("Newbuild LNG/Cs").
Under-Construction Fleet Update
The Company's under-construction fleet includes nine latest generation LNG/Cs (comprising the remaining Newbuild LNG/Cs that have not yet been delivered to the Company) and the Gas Fleet. The following table sets out the Company's schedule of expected capex payments for its under-construction fleet as of December 31, 2025.

The Company has paid by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, $704.9 million in advances towards the acquisition of its under-construction fleet. The delivery instalment of the Active was paid in December 2025.
Overview of Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was $28.4 million, compared with net income of $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was $98.3 million, compared to $97.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue was attributable to the commencement of the long-term bareboat charter of LNG/C Axios II in the first quarter of 2025, partly offset by the scheduled hire rate step down of LNG/C Attalos.
Total expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, were $44.8 million, compared to $44.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Total vessel operating expenses during the fourth quarter of 2025 amounted to $16.5 million, compared to $16.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Total expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 also include vessel depreciation and amortization of $21.9 million, in line with the fourth quarter of 2024. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 amounted to $4.0 million, compared to $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, on the back of lower costs incurred in connection with our equity compensation incentive plan.
Total other expenses, net for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, were $25.2 million compared to $32.3 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2024. Total other expenses, net include interest expense and finance cost of $23.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $33.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in interest expense and finance cost was mainly attributable to the decrease in our average indebtedness and the weighted average interest rate charged on our debt compared to the fourth quarter of last year.
Company Capitalization
As of December 31, 2025, total cash, including discontinued operations, amounted to $295.6 million. Total cash includes restricted cash of $21.0 million, which represents the minimum liquidity requirement under our financing arrangements.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company's total shareholders' equity amounted to $1,499.4 million, an increase of $156.4 million compared to $1,343.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects net income (including net income from discontinued operations) of $170.8 million, amortization associated with the equity incentive plan of $5.8 million, net proceeds of $0.2 million under the Company's ATM Program (as defined below) and $16.4 million of common shares issued under our Dividend Reinvestment Plan net of expenses, partly offset by dividends declared during the period for a total amount of $35.5 million and other comprehensive loss of $1.3 million relating to the net effect of the cross-currency swap agreement we designated as an accounting hedge.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company's total debt including discontinued operations was $2,454.3 million compared to $2,598.3 million as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's total debt from continuing operations was $2,369.9 million compared to $2,413.3 million as of December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average margin on our floating debt, including discontinued operations amounting to $1,928.1 million, was 1.8% over SOFR and the weighted average interest rate on our fixed rate debt, amounting to $526.2 million, was 4.3%.
Issuance of EUR250.0 million unsecured bonds
On February 25, 2026, CCEC successfully completed the offering of EUR250.0 million of unsecured bonds to investors in Greece (the "Bonds"), which were admitted to trading in the category of fixed income securities of the Regulated Market of the Athens Exchange on February 26, 2026.
The Bonds will mature in 2033 and will bear a coupon of 3.75%, payable semi-annually.
The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to refinance the outstanding EUR150.0 million unsecured bond issued in 2021, as well as to partially fund CCEC's capital expenditures and support the Company's working capital needs. CCEC estimates the expenses related to the offering to be approximately EUR7.5 million.
ATM Program
On January 27, 2025, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement$(SM)$ with Jefferies LLC, under which we may sell, from time to time through Jefferies LLC, acting as our sales agent, new common shares having an aggregate offering amount of up to $75.0 million (the "ATM Program"). During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued and sold 556 shares pursuant to the ATM Program at an average price of $21.14 per share gross of sale expenses.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP")
The Company has implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan to provide our shareholders with a convenient and economical way to reinvest cash dividends to purchase our common shares. The DRIP is available to our existing shareholders and investors who may become our shareholders in the future outside of the DRIP. In November 2025, the Company issued 404,975 common shares under the DRIP at the price of $20.50 per share, gross of issuance costs.
Quarterly Dividend Distribution
On January 22, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend per share of $0.15 for the fourth quarter of 2025 which was paid on February 12, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 3, 2026.
LNG Market Update
The fourth quarter of 2025 saw the strongest spot LNG shipping market of the past two years. Spot charter rates for two-stroke vessels averaged approximately $76,000 per day during the quarter, peaking in November at around $150,000 per day--an impressive recovery from the depressed levels observed over the previous three quarters.
Unexpectedly higher production out of the U.S., pockets of floating storage opportunities, open arbitrage to the East, and logistical constraints at discharge ports collectively drove spot rates higher by more than 240% compared to their peak in the third quarter. This served as a stark reminder of the fragility of the LNG shipping supply--demand balance, where modest changes in cargo economics, production volumes, or port logistics can collectively have a disproportionate impact on freight markets.
Two-stroke vessels fully captured the benefits of the strengthening market, while rates for older, smaller, and less efficient tonnage improved only marginally. This divergence underscores the increasingly limited commercial relevance of older vessels going forward.
Mid- and long-term time charter rates softened slightly during the quarter, with multiple fixtures concluded in the low- to mid-$80,000 per day range, driven primarily by long-term fundamentals. Ordering activity increased materially in the fourth quarter following three comparatively quiet quarters by historical standards. A total of 23 LNG carriers were ordered during the quarter, 17 of which were placed in December alone. For context, only 21 vessels were ordered across the previous three quarters combined. This surge in ordering activity has resulted in upward pressure on newbuilding prices, with the latest contracts each concluded at slightly greater than $250.0 million per vessel.
As of quarter-end, 283 LNG carriers were on order, with 23 vessels delivered during the fourth quarter of 2025. Of the total orderbook, analysts estimate that only 35 vessels remain without committed employment, six of which are controlled by the Company.
LPG Market Update
CCEC has an additional nine gas carriers on order as part of its Gas Fleet, consisting of three LCO / multi-gas carriers and six dual-fuel medium gas carriers .The deliveries commenced with the handy LCO(2) /multi-gas carrier Active (22,000 CBM, Hyundai) in January 2026, which has been immediately deployed under a six-month time charter transporting LPG, with an option to extend the charter for an additional six months.
Market conditions across both handy-sized and mid-size gas segments remained positive, with employment reflecting a balanced mix of spot exposure and short-term time charters. The multi-gas carrier ("MGC") fleet amounts to 138 vessels, of which approximately 68% is secured on time charter coverage, with around 32% of the time charter fleet employed in ammonia trading. The semi-refrigerated handy-sized segment comprises 57 vessels, of which 49 are fixed on short term time charters (less than two years), with approximately 16% of the time charter fleet engaged in ammonia trading during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Earnings were supported by stable rates and strong utilization, particularly in the handy-sized segment, driven by continued butadiene flows to the Far East and ambient Iraqi LPG exports. The MGC segment recorded its strongest fixing quarter in recent years, benefiting from robust US LPG export volumes that tightened VLGC availability. Elevated VLGC rates encouraged charterers to seek alternative tonnage, supporting strong earnings throughout the reporting period.
Looking ahead, supply growth in the semi-refrigerated handy-sized segment remains limited. Looking into 2026, there are only seven vessels scheduled for delivery until year end, representing approximately 12% of the existing fleet. The MGC segment saw two newbuildings delivered during the fourth quarter of 2025, with a further 22 vessels expected over the next 12 months, equating to approximately 16% of the current fleet.
Time charter rates remained firm during the fourth quarter, with semi-refrigerated handy-sized vessels assessed at $31,000 per day for one year, while fully refrigerated MGCs (40,000 cbm conventional) rates were assessed at $32,000 per day.
