In April 2024, the Company entered into a time charter-out contract for one Suezmax tanker to a third party on a three-year time charter at a daily base rate of $32,950 plus 50% profit share.

In June 2024, the Company attended an introductory hearing before the Enterprise Court in Antwerp, Belgium, in response to a summons received from certain funds managed by FourWorld Capital Management LLC (“FourWorld”) in connection with their claims pertaining to the integrated solution for the strategic and structural deadlock within Euronav announced on October 9, 2023, and Euronav’s acquisition of CMB.TECH NV. FourWorld claims that the transactions should be rescinded and in addition has requested the court to order Compagnie Maritime Belge NV and Frontline to pay damages in an amount to be determined in the course of the proceedings. A procedural calendar has been agreed and the case is scheduled for oral court pleadings in May 2026, after which a judgment will be rendered. The Company finds the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Tanker Market Update

Global oil consumption, as reported by the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), averaged 102.3 million barrels per day (“mbpd”) in the first half of 2024, 1.0 mbpd higher than the first half of 2023. Looking ahead, demand is projected to accelerate in the second half of the year, potentially reaching 104.9 mbpd in December 2024.

Oil supply remained stable in the first half of 2024, averaging 101.9 mbpd, as compared to 101.3 mbpd for the first half of 2023. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (“OPEC”) supply cut strategy remains in effect, resulting in an average production decrease of 0.6 mbpd compared to the second quarter of 2023. We continue to observe the trend where countries outside of OPEC are increasing their production. Compared to the same quarter last year non-OPEC countries increased their production with 1.2 mbpd. Looking one year ahead, the EIA anticipates additional non-OPEC production growth of 1.5 mbpd, potentially reaching an output of 71.7 mbpd.

However, the crude oil markets are seeing concerning developments. According to industry sources and based on the tracking of oil movements, the volume of oil exported from sanctioned countries has increased in the recent years, now amounting to 18.0% of all waterborne crude and condensate, estimated to be around 41.0 mbpd. Russia makes up a large portion of this and as EU and G7 sanctions continue to tighten, the transportation of Russian oil and products appears to attract a growing number of non-compliant vessels often referred to as the ‘grey fleet’. With such a large part of the trade employing questionable actors, an approximately 6% of the global VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax tanker fleet is reported to be sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). The average age of the global tanker fleet continues to rise with 13.0% of the above-mentioned asset classes over 20 years of age. This generation of tonnage are not normally used for oil transportation by compliant charterers and owners. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has stated a clear regulatory path to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint with 20 to 30% by 2030. In addition, the UN organization’s commitment to the safety and security of shipping has placed increasing scrutiny on vessel owners. We believe it will be challenging to meet these ambitious goals since the environmental credentials of a tanker built prior to 2004 will not change without significant and potentially prohibitive investment.

The overall tanker order book for the asset classes that Frontline owns is now 15.3% of the existing global fleet, with 54, 94, and 147 vessels on order for VLCCs, Suezmax tankers and LR2 tankers, respectively. According to industry sources, only one VLCC is expected for delivery in the remainder of 2024 and five are expected to be delivered in 2025, thus increasing optimism for this asset class in particular. The growth in the order books is predominantly for deliveries scheduled in 2026 and 2027 and is not expected to affect the overall outlook of the tanker market in the near term due to the general age profile of the existing fleet.


Results of Operations

Amounts included in the following discussion are derived from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Total revenues, voyage expenses and commissions
(in thousands of $)20242023
Time charter revenues35,670 30,908 
Voyage charter revenues1,093,207 971,049 
Administrative income5,546 8,138 
Total revenues1,134,423 1,010,095 
Voyage expenses and commissions404,983 315,437 

Time charter revenues increased by $4.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the net increase in the number of vessels on long-term and short-term time charters since January 1, 2023.

Voyage charter revenues increased by $122.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to:

an increase of $316.8 million due to the delivery of the 24 VLCCs acquired from Euronav onto voyage charters since January 1, 2023.

This factor was partially offset by:

a decrease of the $96.5 million due to the sale of six VLCCs and four Suezmax tankers since January 1, 2023,
a decrease of $80.2 million due to the decrease in market freight rates, and

3


a decrease of $17.9 million due to the net increase in the number of vessels on long-term and short-term time charters since January 1, 2023.

Administrative income primarily comprises the income earned from the technical and commercial management of related party vessels, newbuilding supervision fees derived from related parties and administrative services provided to related parties. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was mainly due to a decrease in technical management fees and newbuilding supervision fees as a result of a decrease in the number of vessels under supervision.

Voyage expenses and commissions increased by $89.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the delivery of the 24 VLCCs acquired from Euronav and two newbuildings onto voyage charters since January 1, 2023 which increased voyage expenses by $129.1 million, offset by a $39.6 million decrease, mainly due the sale of six VLCCs and four Suezmax tankers since January 1, 2023.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company also recorded an arbitration award of $0.4 million in relation to the failed sale of a vessel.


Ship operating expenses
(in thousands of $)20242023
Ship operating expenses117,345 87,490 

Ship operating expenses are the direct costs associated with running a vessel and include crew costs, vessel supplies, repairs and maintenance, lubricating oils and insurances. The technical management of our vessels is provided by third-party ship management companies.

Ship operating expenses increased by $29.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the delivery of the 24 VLCCs acquired from Euronav and two newbuildings, offset by the sale of six VLCCs and four Suezmax tankers since January 1, 2023.


Administrative expenses
(in thousands of $)20242023
Administrative expenses27,412 24,339 

Administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in employee and related costs (including synthetic share option expenses), partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.


Depreciation
(in thousands of $)20242023
Depreciation171,726 112,642 

Depreciation increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the delivery of the 24 VLCCs acquired from Euronav and two newbuildings, since January 1, 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in depreciation due to the sale of six VLCCs and four Suezmax tankers since January 1, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We operate in a capital intensive industry and have historically financed our purchase of tankers and other capital expenditures through a combination of cash generated from operations, equity capital and borrowings from commercial banks. Our ability to generate adequate cash flows on a short and medium-term basis depends substantially on the trading performance of our vessels in the market. Historically, market rates for charters of our vessels have been volatile. Periodic adjustments to the supply of and demand for oil and product tankers causes the industry to be cyclical in nature. We expect continued volatility in market rates for our vessels in the foreseeable future with a consequent effect on our short and medium-term liquidity. We estimate that average daily cash break-even TCE rates for the next 12 months will be approximately $29,600, $22,300 and $21,200 for our owned VLCCs, Suezmax tankers, and LR2/Aframax tankers, respectively. These are the daily rates our vessels must earn to cover budgeted operating expenses including dry dock expenses, estimated interest expenses, scheduled loan principal repayments, bareboat hire, time charter hire and net general and administrative expenses. These rates do not take into account capital expenditures.

Our funding and treasury activities are conducted within corporate policies to increase investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for our requirements. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in U.S. Dollars with some balances held in British Pounds, Euros, Norwegian Kroner and Singapore Dollars.

Our short-term liquidity requirements relate to payment of operating costs (including drydocking), funding working capital requirements, repayment of debt financing (including interest), payment of upgrading costs, and maintaining cash reserves against fluctuations in operating cash flows. Sources of short-term liquidity include cash balances, short-term investments and receipts from our customers. Revenues from time charters are generally received monthly or fortnightly in advance while revenues from voyage charters are generally received upon completion of the voyage.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $359.2 million and $308.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances of $89.8 million (December 31, 2023: $75.4 million), which represents 50% (December 31, 2023: 50%) of the cash required to be maintained by the financial covenants in our loan agreements. The Company is permitted to satisfy up to 50% of the cash requirement by maintaining a committed undrawn credit facility with a remaining availability of greater than 12 months. Our interest rate swaps can require us to post cash as collateral based on their fair value. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no cash was required to be posted as collateral in relation to our interest rate swaps.

Our medium and long-term liquidity requirements include funding the equity portion of investments in new or replacement vessels and repayment of bank loans. Additional sources of funding for our medium and long-term liquidity requirements include new loans, refinancing of existing arrangements, equity issues, public and private debt offerings, vessel sales, sale and leaseback arrangements and asset sales.

Vessel disposals

In March 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell one of its oldest Suezmax tankers, built in 2010, for a net sale of $46.9 million. The vessel was delivered to the new owner in the six months ended June 30, 2024. After repayment of existing debt on the vessel, the transaction generated net cash proceeds of approximately $34.0 million, and the Company recorded a gain of $13.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

In June 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its oldest Suezmax tanker, built in 2010, for a net sale price of $48.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the new owner during the fourth quarter of 2024. After repayment of existing debt on the vessel, the transaction is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $36.5 million, and the Company expects to record a gain of approximately $18.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Euronav VLCC Acquisition

On October 9, 2023, Frontline entered into a Framework Agreement with Euronav. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase 24 VLCCs with an average age of 5.3 years, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,350.0 million from Euronav.

All of the agreements relating to the Acquisition came into effect in November 2023. In December 2023, the Company took delivery of 11 of the vessels for consideration of $1,112.2 million. The Company took delivery of the 13 remaining vessels for consideration of $1,237.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Financing

See Note 7 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included herein.

In July 2024, the Company secured a commitment from CMB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd (“CMB”) for a sale-and leaseback agreement in an amount of up to $512.1 million to refinance a sale-and-leaseback agreement for 10 Suezmax tankers, which is subject to execution of final transaction documents to both parties' satisfaction. The lease financing has a tenor of 10 years, carries an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 180 basis points and has an amortization profile of 20.6 years commencing on the delivery date from the yard and includes purchase options for Frontline throughout the period. The refinancing is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $101.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which is expected to be partly used to repay the remaining $75.0 million drawn under the $275.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an affiliate of Hemen.

Dividends

In May 2024, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.62 per share for the first quarter of 2024 which was paid in June 2024.

In August 2024, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.62 per share for the second quarter of 2024 and the dividend is scheduled to be paid on or about September 30, 2024.

Cash Flows
The following summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $404.0 million compared to $553.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease was primarily due to (i) the movement in other operating assets and liabilities which decreased the cash generated from operating activities by $53.7 million. The movement in working capital balances are impacted

8


by the timing of voyages and in particular the timing of the billing and receipt of freights, and also by the timing of fueling and consumption of fuel on board our vessels; (ii) an increase in voyage and ship operating expenses by $89.5 million and $29.7 million, respectively, mainly due to the net increase in the fleet; (iii) the increase in interest paid of $50.2 million as a result the increase in market interest rates and the additional debt drawdowns since January 1, 2023; (iv) a reduction in cash received from dividends of $24.2 million due to the disposal of the shares held in Euronav in November 2023; (v) the payment of debt issuance costs of $17.5 million largely due to the financing of acquired vessels; and (vi) the receipt of dividends of $7.3 million from our investment in TFG Marine; in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in total operating revenues and other income of $122.6 million primarily due to the net increase in the fleet since January 1, 2023 partially offset by the decrease in market freight rates, the sale of six VLCCs and four Suezmax tankers since January 1, 2023 and also by the net increase in the number of vessels on long-term and short-term time charters since January 1, 2023.

Our reliance on the spot market contributes to fluctuations in cash flows from operating activities as a result of its exposure to highly cyclical tanker rates. Any increase or decrease in the average freight rates earned by our vessels in periods subsequent to June 30, 2024, compared with the actual freight rates achieved during the six months ended June 30, 2024, will have a positive or negative comparative impact, respectively, on the amount of cash provided by operating activities.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $526.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 comprised mainly of payments of $890.0 million towards the Acquisition and capitalized additions of $18.5 million, primarily in respect of upgrades and drydockings. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by the proceeds of $382.4 million from the sale of five VLCCs and two Suezmax tankers in the period.

Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided in financing activities of $173.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to debt drawdowns of $1,355.0 million, partially offset by debt repayments of $961.1 million and $220.4 million of cash dividends paid.

Debt restrictions
The Company's loan agreements contain loan-to-value clauses, which could require the Company to post additional collateral or prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings should the value of the vessels securing borrowings under each of such agreements decrease below required levels. In addition, the loan agreements contain certain financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a certain level of free cash, positive working capital and a value adjusted equity covenant. The Company is permitted to satisfy up to 50% of the cash requirement by maintaining a committed undrawn credit facility with a remaining availability of greater than 12 months.

Failure to comply with any of the covenants in the loan agreements could result in a default, which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the debt and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt. If the lender were to take such actions, the Company might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy its obligations. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the Company's loan agreements as of June 30, 2024.
We believe that cash on hand and borrowings under our current and committed credit facilities, along with cash generated from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our requirements for, at least, the twelve months from the date of this interim report.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

9



Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its floating-rate borrowings that require the Company to make interest payments based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect results of operations and ability to service debt. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to reduce the risks and costs associated with its floating-rate debt. The Company is exposed to the risk of credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the interest rate swap agreements.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company's outstanding debt, which was at variable interest rates, net of the amount subject to interest rate swap agreements, was $3,235.7 million. Based on this, a one percentage point increase in annual interest rates would increase its annual interest expense by approximately $32.4 million, excluding the effects of capitalization of interest.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In February 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with DNB whereby the floating interest on notional debt of $150.0 million was switched to a fixed rate, with a forward start date of February 2019. In March 2020, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps with DNB whereby the floating interest rate on notional debt totaling $250.0 million was switched to a fixed rate. In April 2020, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with Nordea Bank Norge ("Nordea") whereby the floating interest rate on notional debt totaling $150.0 million was switched to a fixed rate. The reference rate for our interest rate swaps is SOFR. The aggregate fair value of these swaps as of June 30, 2024 was an asset of $36.5 million (December 2023: $39.1 million) and a payable of nil (December 2023: nil). The fair value (Level 2) of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current interest rates, forward rate curves and the current credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparty. The estimated fair value is the present value of future cash flows. The Company recorded a gain on these interest swaps of $9.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: gain of $9.2 million).

Foreign Currency Risk
The majority of the Company's transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, its functional currency. Certain of its subsidiaries report in British pounds, Norwegian kroner or Singapore dollars and risks of two kinds arise as a result: a transaction risk, that is, the risk that currency fluctuations will have an effect on the value of cash flows; and a translation risk, which is the impact of currency fluctuations in the translation of foreign operations and foreign assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Inflation
Significant global inflationary pressures (caused by events such as the war between Russia and Ukraine) increase operating, voyage, general and administrative and financing costs. Historically, shipping companies are accustomed to navigating in shipping downturns, coping with inflationary pressures and monitoring costs to preserve liquidity, as they typically encourage suppliers and service providers to lower rates and prices.

Price Risk
Our exposure to equity securities price risk arises from marketable securities held by the Company which are listed equity securities and are carried at fair value through profit or loss unless the election to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income is made.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Frontline plc (“Frontline” or the “Company”) have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries.

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 27, 2024.


2. USE OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.


3. CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting policies, which are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024.

New standards and interpretations

During the current financial period, the Company has adopted all the applicable new and revised Standards and Interpretations that were issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB. The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments issued by the IASB and the IFRIC are effective for the current financial period:
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.

The adoption of these amendments had no material effect on the financial statements.

New and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s interim financial statements are disclosed below. The below list includes the new standards and amendments that we believe are the most relevant for the Company:

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The new standard is effective for

20


annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and must be applied retrospectively. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
the structure of the statement of profit or loss;
required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and
enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments which amended IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendments include clarifying the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities and new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 and must be applied retrospectively.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new and amended standards on its financial statements. The Company has not applied or early adopted any new IFRS requirements that are not yet effective as of June 30, 2024.


4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The authorized share capital of the Company as of June 30, 2024 was $600,000,000 divided into 600,000,000 shares of $1.00 nominal value each, of which 222,622,889 shares (December 31, 2023: 222,622,889 shares) of $1.00 nominal value each are in issue and fully paid.

Measurement of fair values

Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs that were used.

Financial instruments measured at fair value
TypeValuation TechniquesSignificant unobservable inputs
Interest rate swapsFair value was determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows.Not applicable.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value
TypeValuation TechniquesSignificant unobservable inputs
Floating rate debtDiscounted cash flow.Not applicable.
Fixed rate debtDiscounted cash flow.Discount rate.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value (level 2) of interest rate swaps is the present value of the estimated future cash flows that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the end of the reporting period, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current interest rates, forward rate curves and the credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparty.

Marketable securities are listed equity securities for which the fair value at the end of the period is the aggregate market value based on quoted market prices (level 1).

There were no transfers between these levels in 2024 and 2023.

Financial risk management

In the course of its normal business, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
Credit risk,
Liquidity risk, and
Market risk (interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and price risk).

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.


27


Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations if they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company has entered into several loan facilities whose maturities are spread over different years (see Note 7).

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

Contractual cash flows at June 30, 2024

Trade and other payables111,128 111,128 111,128   

The Company has secured bank loans that contain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Company to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. For more details on these covenants, see Note 7.

The carrying values of fixed and floating rate debt include accrued interest as of the reporting date. The interest on floating rate debt is based on the SOFR spot rate as of June 30, 2024. The interest on fixed rate debt is based on the contractual interest rate for the periods presented. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the table above (the maturity analysis) could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts than stated above.

Capital management

We operate in a capital intensive industry and have historically financed our purchase of tankers and other capital expenditures through a combination of cash generated from operations, equity capital and borrowings from commercial banks. Our ability to generate adequate cash flows on a short and medium term basis depends substantially on the trading performance of our vessels in the market. Our funding and treasury activities are conducted within corporate policies to increase investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for our requirements.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:
safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern, so that we can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Company's loan agreements contain loan-to-value clauses, which could require the Company to post additional collateral or prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings should the value of the vessels securing borrowings under each of such agreements decrease below required levels. In addition, the loan agreements contain certain financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a certain level of free cash, positive working capital and a value adjusted equity covenant. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in the loan agreements could result in a default, which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the debt and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt.

CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting policies, which are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024.

New standards and interpretations

During the current financial period, the Company has adopted all the applicable new and revised Standards and Interpretations that were issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB. The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments issued by the IASB and the IFRIC are effective for the current financial period:
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.

The adoption of these amendments had no material effect on the financial statements.

New and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s interim financial statements are disclosed below. The below list includes the new standards and amendments that we believe are the most relevant for the Company:

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The new standard is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and must be applied retrospectively. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
the structure of the statement of profit or loss;
required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and
enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments which amended IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendments include clarifying the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities and new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 and must be applied retrospectively.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new and amended standards on its financial statements. The Company has not applied or early adopted any new IFRS requirements that are not yet effective as of June 30, 2024.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value (level 2) of interest rate swaps is the present value of the estimated future cash flows that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the end of the reporting period, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current interest rates, forward rate curves and the credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparty.

Marketable securities are listed equity securities for which the fair value at the end of the period is the aggregate market value based on quoted market prices (level 1).

There were no transfers between these levels in 2024 and 2023.

Financial risk management

In the course of its normal business, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
Credit risk,
Liquidity risk, and
Market risk (interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and price risk).

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.
Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations if they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company has entered into several loan facilities whose maturities are spread over different years (see Note 7).

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

The Company has secured bank loans that contain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Company to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. For more details on these covenants, see Note 7.

The carrying values of fixed and floating rate debt include accrued interest as of the reporting date. The interest on floating rate debt is based on the SOFR spot rate as of June 30, 2024. The interest on fixed rate debt is based on the contractual interest rate for the periods presented. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the table above (the maturity analysis) could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts than stated above.

Capital management

We operate in a capital intensive industry and have historically financed our purchase of tankers and other capital expenditures through a combination of cash generated from operations, equity capital and borrowings from commercial banks. Our ability to generate adequate cash flows on a short and medium term basis depends substantially on the trading performance of our vessels in the market. Our funding and treasury activities are conducted within corporate policies to increase investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for our requirements.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:
safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern, so that we can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Company's loan agreements contain loan-to-value clauses, which could require the Company to post additional collateral or prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings should the value of the vessels securing borrowings under each of such agreements decrease below required levels. In addition, the loan agreements contain certain financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a certain level of free cash, positive working capital and a value adjusted equity covenant. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in the loan agreements could result in a default, which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the debt and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In June 2024, the Company attended an introductory hearing before the Enterprise Court in Antwerp, Belgium, in response to a summons received from certain funds managed by FourWorld Capital Management LLC (“FourWorld”) in connection with their claims pertaining to the integrated solution for the strategic and structural deadlock within Euronav announced on October 9, 2023, and Euronav’s acquisition of CMB.TECH NV. FourWorld claims that the transactions should be rescinded and in addition has requested the court to order Compagnie Maritime Belge NV and Frontline to pay damages in an amount to be determined in the course of the proceedings. A procedural calendar has been agreed and the case is scheduled for oral court pleadings in May 2026, after which a judgment will be rendered. The Company finds the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
