How does DHT’s Q2 performance compare to its main peers (e.g., Euronav, Teekay, Frontline) on metrics such as EBITDA, net profit, and fleet utilization?

Answer

Based on the information you’ve shared, the only details we have are that DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DHT) announced its second‑quarter 2025 results on 6 August 2025. The release does not include any of the quantitative performance figures (e.g., EBITDA, net profit, fleet utilization, or any other operating metrics) that would allow a direct comparison with its peers—Euronav, Teekay, Frontline, etc.

What we would need to make a meaningful comparison

Metric DHT (Q2 2025) Euronav (Q2 2025) Teekay (Q2 2025) Frontline (Q2 2025)
EBITDA (US$ mm)
Net profit / loss (US$ mm)
EBITDA margin (% of revenue)
Fleet size (deadweight tonnage, DWT)
Fleet utilization (average % of time vessels are on‑charter)
Average charter rates (US$ / day)
Cash flow from operations (US$ mm)
Capital expenditures (US$ mm)

If you can provide the actual numbers from DHT’s Q2 2025 earnings release (or a link to the full filing), we could populate the table above and then benchmark those figures against the publicly disclosed results of Euronav, Teekay, and Frontline for the same quarter.

Why the data matters

  • EBITDA is the most common proxy for operating profitability in the shipping sector. It shows how well a company converts its charter revenue into cash before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation.
  • Net profit (or loss) reflects the “bottom line” after all expenses, financing costs, and tax items—useful for assessing overall financial health and the ability to fund growth or return capital to shareholders.
  • Fleet utilization (percentage of time vessels are under contract) is a leading indicator of revenue stability. Higher utilization generally translates into more predictable cash flows and better pricing power.
  • EBITDA margin helps normalize performance across peers with different fleet sizes and revenue bases, highlighting cost‑efficiency and pricing strength.
  • Capital expenditures and cash‑flow figures are critical for understanding whether a company is investing enough to replace or expand its vessels while still maintaining sufficient liquidity.

Next steps

  1. Locate the full DHT Q2 2025 earnings release (often posted on the company’s investor‑relations website or filed as a Form 8‑K). The release typically includes a “Financial Highlights” table with the metrics listed above.
  2. Gather the same quarter’s results for Euronav, Teekay, and Frontline—these are usually available in their own earnings releases, quarterly reports, or via financial data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, or the companies’ IR sites).
  3. Populate the comparison table and calculate relative performance ratios (e.g., DHT’s EBITDA divided by the peer average, utilization variance, etc.).
  4. Interpret the results—for example:
    • If DHT’s EBITDA margin is higher than the peer average, it may indicate superior cost control or more favorable charter contracts.
    • If fleet utilization is lower, it could signal a need to secure additional charters or a temporary market softening.
    • A net‑profit swing (positive vs. negative) relative to peers can highlight differences in financing structures, tax regimes, or exposure to spot‑rate volatility.

In short: With only the announcement date and the fact that DHT released its Q2 2025 results, we don’t have the quantitative data needed to compare DHT’s performance to Euronav, Teekay, or Frontline on EBITDA, net profit, or fleet utilization. If you can share the specific figures from DHT’s earnings release (or a link to the full report), I’ll be able to build a detailed side‑by‑side comparison and provide a thorough analysis of how DHT stacks up against its main peers.
