The refinancing of Flex Constellation and Flex Resolute's documentation was signed, targeting closing in the third quarter. A $15 million share buyback program was announced.

Guidance

- Reaffirmed guidance for expected adjusted EBITDA of approximately $250 million to $270 million for the full year.

Risks
- Cautious short - term outlook on the LNG market.
- A significant number of vessels, as many as 64 ships or 9% of the active fleet, are idling.
- Newbuilding prices for modern LNG carriers built in South Korea have stabilized, and steam vessels face competition.
- European LNG imports and storage levels pose risks, with Europe remaining exposed to a cold winter.
Q&A highlights
Q: Regarding the upcoming options for the Flex Aurora and Flex Volunteer, both in terms of likelihood of being declared and timing of these options?
A: The first option is due in Q4 2025 and the other is in Q1 '26. We shall revert once we can say more about that.
Q: How do you look at reinvestments in newbuildings today?
A: Would love to add on new buildings to the Flex LNG fleets. Right now, exploring with new and existing partners if somebody would like to join us to order with a contract attached. Ordering a new building on speculative prices is difficult as long as the term market does not justify a new building investment today.
Q: What are you doing with all the cash that we have on our balance sheet?
A: Have $413 million of RCF capacity not utilized in between quarters as effective cash management. There is a share buyback program announced, made independent of dividend considerations.
Q: Questions regarding the delisting?
A: Remind shareholders on Oslo Stock Exchange to contact their broker investment adviser to transfer the Oslo listed shares to the New York listed share before 15th September; there is a dedicated page on the website for delisting details.
