continues to perform well

LONDON, April 3, 2025 - Stolt-Nielsen Limited (Oslo Børs ticker: SNI) today
reported unaudited results for the first quarter ending February 28, 2025. The

$675.6 million, compared with a net profit of $104.0 million with revenue of
$707.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding $75.2 million in one-off

the same quarter last year.
* Stolt Tank Containers reported operating profit of $15.2 million, up from
$13.3 million.

biomass of $7.4 million, up from $6.9 million.

Udo Lange, Chief Executive Officer of Stolt-Nielsen Limited, commented:

"In an increasingly uncertain environment, the Company produced solid results
with EBITDA of $192 million. While Stolt Tankers' EBITDA fell 17%, our non-
shipping business was up 6%, so overall the Company was down 9%, demonstrating
the benefit of our diversified portfolio. The breadth of our business brings
some resilience and risk mitigation in an otherwise volatile macroeconomic
situation.

"Stolt Tankers faces significant uncertainties in its markets, driven by
geopolitics. Tariffs on traded goods and potential higher US port fees could
significantly impact trade flows, and we are closely monitoring the development
of trade policies. Average TCE revenue for the first quarter was $27,620 per
day, a further decline from previous quarters, but still 39% above the
historical average(2).

"Storage markets have been more stable, and at Stolthaven Terminals utilisation
continues to trend upwards. Revenue and operating profit were flat year-over-
year at record levels, despite a negative currency impact.

"Ongoing margin improvement at Stolt Tank Containers has supported a strong
year-on-year performance in the first quarter. A decline in volumes impacted
revenue, however operating profit increased, as spot rates booked were up, and
the ongoing focus on cost control continues to pay off.

"Strong Christmas sales and margin performance positioned Stolt Sea Farm well
for the first quarter of the year. With inventory levels remaining tight, sales
prices were at record-high levels, which has positively impacted operating
profit.

"During the quarter, we continued to invest in our business. We completed the
acquisitions of the remaining 50% of the HS4 joint venture and an additional
48.8% in Avenir. The combined outcome of these transactions should generate an
annualised additional contribution to EBITDA of around $50 million, subject to
market conditions."
