(Singapore, 13 April 2023)
BW LPG Limited (“BW LPG”, the “Company”, OSE ticker code: “BWLPG.OL”) today provides an update on its Product Services’ (“BW Product Services”) Q1 2023 segment performance.
For the quarter ended 31 March 2023, BW Product Services made an estimated net profit of approximately USD 3 million. The net profit includes the value of the cargo and derivative positions based on 12 months forward rolling mark-to-market (M-t-M) valuation, adjusted for estimated costs from general and administrative expenses, taxes, and depreciation. The net profit excludes the M-t-M valuation of shipping positions as these are not accounted for on an M-t-M basis.
The average Value-At-Risk (VAR) for the quarter was approximately USD 5 million.
Says Anders Onarheim, BW LPG CEO, “We are pleased with how our first full quarter of operation after the Vilma-transaction has played out. We decided to conservatively adjust our portfolio to a Q1 market which traditionally is challenging while progressing further with the remaining parts of the company integration. Expectations are for increased activity in Q2 with an enhanced and scalable trading platform.”
BW LPG will release its Q1 2023 and interim Q1 2023 financial report on 23 May 2023.
