Strong results: TEN reported 2025 net income of $161 million, or $4.45 per share, and fourth-quarter net income of $58 million, or $1.70 per share.
Revenue mix: 2025 gross revenues were close to $800 million with adjusted EBITDA of $416 million for the year and $128 million in Q4.
Spot upside: Management highlighted heavy spot-market participation and profit-sharing — 22 vessels (9 spot, 13 profit-share) — which contributed materially (about $27 million extra in Q4) and the company expects further step-ups in early 2026.
Balance sheet & liquidity: Cash on hand was $298 million at year-end, total debt was $1.9 billion, net debt-to-cap about 46.7% and loan-to-value ~48%. Management expects liquidity to rise and signaled priorities for shareholder returns and deleveraging.
Fleet renewal: TEN emphasized continued fleet modernization: pro forma fleet of 83 vessels (64 operating today), 19 newbuilds under construction (management also referenced a 20-vessel newbuilding program) and an increasing share of dual-fuel / LNG-powered and shuttle vessels.
Asset sales: Management sold a 10-year-old VLCC that generated $82 million of free cash and said vessel disposals are being used to fund renewal and reduce debt.
Geopolitical impact: The opening of Venezuela and recent Middle East events have materially strengthened spot rates; TEN has no vessels currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz and is prioritizing crew safety.
Capital allocation: With rising cash they plan to prioritize shareholder returns (dividends / preferred repurchases) while the newbuilding program is largely financed and debt reduction remains a priority.
