Financial risk management, objectives and policies [Abstract] |
Financial risk management, objectives and policies | Note 9 – Financial risk management, objectives and policies Financial risk management The Company’s principal financial liabilities consist of long-term debt, and, when applicable, current portion of long-term debt and derivatives. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s financial assets mainly comprise cash. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk are debt, bank deposits and derivative financial instruments. a) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk through its long-term debt, which carries floating interest rates. Interest rate risk sensitivity The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and floating rate long-term debt. For floating rate long-term debt, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year. 2025: If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s:
| ● | profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 would decrease/increase by $1,162 thousand with a corresponding effect against equity; and
| ● | other comprehensive income would not be affected.
2024: If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s:
| ● | profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 would decrease/increase by $2,076 thousand with a corresponding effect against equity; and
| ● | other comprehensive income would not be affected.
2023: If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s:
| ● | profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 would decrease/increase by $2,185 thousand with a corresponding effect against equity; and
| ● | other comprehensive income would not be affected.
b) Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has only immaterial currency risk since all revenue and major expenses, including all vessel expenses and financial expenses, are in US dollars. Consequently, no sensitivity analysis is prepared. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions. Credit risks related to receivables During 2025, the Company’s vessels were either trading in the spot market or on short to medium term time charters to different counterparties. As of December 31, 2025, 10 of the Company’s 22 vessels are chartered to five different counterparties and 12 vessels are operated in the spot market. During 2024, the Company’s vessels were either trading in the spot market or on short to medium term time charters to different counterparties. As of December 31, 2024, seven of the Company’s 24 vessels are chartered to five different counterparties and 17 vessels are operated in the spot market. During 2023, the Company’s vessels were either trading in the spot market or on short to medium term time charters to different counterparties. As of December 31, 2023, five of the Company’s 24 vessels are chartered to three different counterparties and 19 vessels are operated in the spot market. See Note 5 for further details on employment of the Company’s vessels. Time charter hire is paid monthly in advance. Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables The Company seeks to diversify credit risks on cash by holding the majority of its cash in different financial institutions. The Company holds the majority of its cash in Nordea, DNB, OCBC, Credit Agricole, CFM Indosuez, Citibank, SBI Singapore and United Overseas Bank. As of December 31, 2025, five customers represented $13,288 thousand, $10,626 thousand, $8,110 thousand, $7,889 thousand and $4,229 thousand, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting dates was:

Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 79,034 |  |  | $ | 78,143 |

Maximum credit exposure |  | $ | 132,373 |  |  | $ | 131,858 |
Liquidity risk The Company manages its risk of a shortage of funds by continuously monitoring maturity of financial assets and liabilities, and projected cash flows from operations such as charter hire, voyage revenues and vessel operating expenses. Certain of our credit agreements contain financial covenants requiring that at all times the borrowings under the credit facilities plus the actual or notional cost of terminating any of their interest rates swaps not exceed a certain percentage of the charter-free market value of the vessels that secure each of the credit facilities. Vessel values are volatile and a decline in vessel values could result in prepayments under the Company’s credit facilities. The following are contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments on an undiscounted basis. The SOFR interest spot rate at December 31, 2025 (and spot rate at December 31, 2024 for comparatives) is used as a basis for preparation . As of December 31, 2025

Capital management A key objective in relation to capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains a capital structure suitable to support its business. The Company evaluates its capital structure in light of current and projected cash flows, the cyclicality and the relative strength or weakness of the shipping markets, new business opportunities and the Company’s financial commitments. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust or eliminate the dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Company is in compliance with its financial covenants stipulated in its credit agreements. Credit Agricole Credit Facility In November 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement between Credit Agricole, as lender, DHT Tiger Limited, as borrower, and DHT Holdings, Inc., as guarantor (the “Credit Agricole Credit Facility”) for a $37.5 million credit facility to refinance the outstanding amount under a credit agreement with Credit Agricole that financed DHT Tiger. Borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR + 2.05%, including the historical CAS, and is repayable in 24 quarterly installments of $0.6 million from March 2023 to December 2028 and a final payment of $22.5 million in December 2028. The Credit Agricole Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring that at all times the charter-free market value of the vessel that secures the Credit Agricole Credit Facility be no less than 135% of borrowings. Also, DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the Credit Agricole Credit Facility, DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain a value adjusted tangible net worth of $300 million, the value adjusted tangible net worth shall be at least 25% of the value adjusted total assets, unencumbered consolidated cash shall be at least the higher of (i) $30 million and (ii) 6% of our gross interest-bearing debt and DHT, on a consolidated basis shall have working capital greater than zero. “Value adjusted” is defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company’s vessel (as determined quarterly by an approved broker). The Credit Agricole Credit Facility is secured by, among other things, a first-priority mortgage on DHT Tiger, a first-priority assignment of earnings, insurances and intercompany claims, a first-priority pledge of the balances of the Borrower’s bank accounts and a first-priority pledge over the shares in the Borrower.
