$716.8 million, compared with a net profit of $151.4 million with revenue of
$675.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, which included $75.2 million in
one-off gains related to the step-up of equity investments in Avenir LNG Limited
(Avenir LNG) and Hassel Shipping 4 (HS4).

Highlights for the first quarter of 2026, compared with the first quarter of

* Stolt-Nielsen Limited (SNL) consolidated EBITDA(1) of $180.8 million, down
from $187.8 million.

* Stolt Tankers reported operating profit of $50.3 million, down from $66.6
million.
* The STJS average time-charter equivalent (TCE) revenue(2) was $23,627 per

with the same quarter last year.
* Stolt Tank Containers reported operating loss of $5.2 million, including
$5.1 million of Suttons integration costs, compared to an operating profit
of $15.2 million.
* Corporate and Other, including Stolt Sea Farm (SSF) and Stolt-Nielsen Gas
(SNG), reported an operating profit of $8.1 million compared to a loss of
$2.4 million.

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

"In the first quarter of 2026, we delivered revenue of $716.8 million and
EBITDA(1) of $180.8 million. Our non?tanker portfolio contributed a 44% share of
EBITDA, demonstrating the benefit of our diversified business model. The recent
conflict in the Middle East has had no impact on this quarter's results and none
of our ships are locked in the Strait of Hormuz.

"Stolt Tankers saw increased spot and contract volumes. However, due to ongoing
weaker freight rates, TCE earnings dropped 15% to $23,627 per day. Stolthaven
Terminals' performance remained strong and steady with stable utilisation and
rate increases offsetting inflationary cost increases, delivering their second
highest quarterly operating profit ever. Stolt Tank Containers saw shipments
increase 31%, however, operating profit fell year-on-year and was breakeven, due
to a tough competitive environment, before Suttons integration costs of $5.1
million.

"We continue to strengthen our portfolio. Strategically, we are excited to have
formed a joint venture with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) in Avenir
LNG, which will result in a sale of 50% of the equity to NYK Line and the
deconsolidation of Avenir LNG from SNL's balance sheet, reducing our debt and
capex commitments in the process. With this partnership, Stolt-Nielsen and NYK
Line will expand their future small-scale LNG and LNG bunkering opportunities
through the joint venture. Our Stolthaven Terminals joint venture in Kaohsiung,
Taiwan, commenced operations with more than 60k cubic metres of storage.

"We are closely monitoring the conflict in the Middle East and the effect on
transits through the Strait of Hormuz. While this introduces new complexities to
global supply chains, we are thankful that our people remain safe and our assets
are not impacted as our network continues to adapt. In this backdrop of elevated
uncertainty, we are activating operational and financial levers in each of our
businesses: using our global logistics network to support our customers, whilst
maintaining strict cost discipline and managing capital allocation for
flexibility and long-term value creation."
