Micware Group Reorganization Finalized

“Micware Navigations” to Become “Micware Spacia”

KOBE, Japan, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micware Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: MWC) (the “Company” or “Micware”), a Japan-based provider of software development services and innovative IT solutions mainly focused on the automotive and mobility sectors, today announced that, further to its announcement dated July 10, 2026 regarding the reorganization of its group business structure, the succession of businesses and the new management structure of each of its subsidiaries have been finalized, with an effective date of September 1, 2026.

Background

For DynaPlanet, one of the two platform businesses envisioned by the Company, Micware aims to build a spatial information foundation that enables artificial intelligence (“AI”) and various digital services to understand and utilize the real world through the collection, development, and use of spatial data. For micAuto-PF, the Company’s other platform business under development, the Company is working to expand the value of software required in the software-defined vehicle (“SDV”) era, primarily in the areas of IVI (“In-Vehicle Infotainment”), ADAS (“Advanced Driver Assistance System”), Connected services, and quality assurance.

Micware anticipates this reorganization as the beginning of an initiative to establish promotion structures optimized for each business domain in order to further accelerate the growth of these two platform businesses.

Business Reorganization

In order to achieve greater operational efficiency and enhanced management, Micware plans to reorganize and reallocate the business segments of three of its subsidiaries: Micware Navigations Co., Ltd., (which will change its trade name to “Micware Spacia Co., Ltd.” on September 1, 2026, (“Micware Spacia”)), Micware Automotive Co., Ltd. (“Micware Automotive”), and Micware Mobility Co., Ltd. (“Micware Mobility”). Micware will consolidate its location-based services businesses into Micware Spacia and its in-vehicle businesses into Micware Automotive and Micware Mobility. Each transfer will be effected through an absorption-type company split, effective September 1, 2026.

  1. With respect to the location-based services businesses, the relevant businesses held by Micware, Micware Automotive, and Micware Mobility will each be transferred to Micware Spacia.
  2. With respect to the in-vehicle businesses, the relevant businesses held by Micware Spacia will be transferred to Micware Automotive and Micware Mobility, respectively. As a result, Micware Spacia will focus on the commercialization of DynaPlanet, while Micware Automotive and Micware Mobility will focus on strengthening micAuto-PF.



Trade Name Change

In connection with the business reorganization described above, Micware’s consolidated subsidiary, Micware Navigations Co., Ltd., will change its trade name to “Micware Spacia Co., Ltd.” effective September 1, 2026.

New Management Structure

In connection with this reorganization, the management structure of each subsidiary will be as follows, effective September 1, 2026 (table below presents full-time directors only).

Mikael Skov, CEO of Hafnia, commented:

Six months after the conflict in the Persian Gulf began, the market has not yet normalized. The partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz after the ceasefire memorandum was signed in June proved short-lived, as the passageway was effectively closed again in early July. Gulf exports, including routes bypassing the Strait, fell sharply by 2.1 million barrels per day (mb/d) to 15 mb/d in July.

Importantly, the bypass routes the Gulf has relied on have also come under pressure. Amid rising tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, attacks extended to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and to infrastructure at Jazan and Yanbu, diverting Saudi oil exports northward toward the Suez Canal and the SUMED pipeline. The SUMED pipeline saw Saudi exports surge to 1.25 mb/d, the highest level since April 2020. For the product tanker market, this has led to sustained fragmentation of global trade, with volumes East of Suez remaining constrained and alternative routings adding substantial voyage distance.

Against this backdrop, Hafnia delivered the strongest quarterly result since Q3 2022. In Q2 2026, we recorded a net profit of USD 277.8 million. This included USD 39.3 million in gains on vessel sales, and our fee-based business generated USD 8.8 million. Results for the quarter were impacted by approximately 392 off-hire vessel days related to scheduled drydockings, and we anticipate approximately 225 off-hire days in Q3.

Our average fleet TCE for Q2 was USD 44,093 per day. As of 17 August 2026, 80% of our Q3 earning days are covered at an average of USD 30,716 per day, and 53% of our H2 2026 earning days are covered at an average rate of USD 28,917 per day.

At the end of the second quarter, our net asset value (NAV1) rose to approximately USD 4.4 billion, up USD 0.4 billion from Q1 2026. This is equivalent to USD 8.89 (~NOK 88.47) per share, driven by higher vessel valuations across all segments and lower debt levels amid a strengthened freight market. Our net Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio further decreased from 20.2% in the first quarter to 13.0%, primarily due to strong cash flow generation from both operations and vessel sales.

With our net LTV below 20%, we have reached the highest payout threshold under our dividend policy. I am therefore pleased to announce a 90% payout ratio for the second quarter. Accordingly, we will distribute a total of USD 250.0 million in dividends, or USD 0.5003 per share. This reflects our continued commitment to delivering strong shareholder returns and represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 21% based on the dividend announced for the first half of 2026.

From 2027, we will calculate net LTV on a fully committed basis, incorporating outstanding newbuild commitments and the corresponding vessel values.

We continued to execute our fleet renewal strategy during the quarter. In Q2, we completed the sale of one LR1 vessel, two MR vessels, and three Handy vessels. In Q3, we sold our 50% stake in two MR vessels within the H&A Shipping joint venture, resulting in a USD 13.3 million profit for Hafnia.

Our 13.97% stake in TORM continued to contribute to financial performance, with a market value of USD 369.0 million at quarter-end and an additional USD 9.9 million in dividend income recognized during the quarter. Our view on the logic of industry consolidation remains unchanged. The specific path and timing of any strategic steps will continue to be guided by a single priority: maximizing returns for Hafnia’s shareholders.

This is my final quarterly letter as Chief Executive Officer of Hafnia. As announced on 30 June, I will step down on 1 September 2026 after sixteen years in the role. Subject to approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting, I will join Hafnia’s Board of Directors. Søren Steenberg Jensen, EVP and Head of Asset Management, who has helped build this company since its inception, will succeed me as CEO.

The timing naturally invites questions. This transition was planned well in advance and is grounded in continuity. Søren has been closely involved in every element of the strategy outlined in this letter, from our fleet renewal program and distribution policy to the capital allocation that guides both. These commitments now pass to Søren. In his own words:

From Søren Steenberg Jensen, incoming CEO:

“Hafnia’s strategy does not change on 1 September. My focus will be on disciplined commercial execution and operational excellence through what may remain a volatile period. The capital allocation framework set out in this letter, the payout policy, and the investment strategy carry my full commitment. I look forward to addressing shareholders in my new role at our Q3 results presentation in November 2026.”

It has been a privilege to lead Hafnia and to work with an exceptional team across sea and shore. I would like to thank our employees, partners, investors and stakeholders for their trust and support throughout this journey. Above all, I would like to thank our seafarers, who have carried this company through an extraordinary period with tremendous commitment.

I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished and confident that Hafnia is well positioned for its next chapter.

NAV is calculated using the fair value of Hafnia’s owned vessels (including joint venture vessels).

Fleet1

At the end of the quarter, Hafnia’s fleet consisted of 103 owned vessels2 and 9 time chartered-in vessels. The Group’s total fleet includes 10 LR2s, 28 LR1s (including two bareboat-chartered in and two time-chartered in), 54 MRs of which 13 are IMO II (including seven time-chartered in), and 20 Handy vessels of which 18 are IMO II (including one bareboat-chartered in).

The average estimated broker value of the owned fleet1 was USD 4,255 million, of which USD 3,739 million relates to Hafnia’s 100% owned fleet, and USD 516 million relates to Hafnia’s 50% share in the joint venture fleet. Including Hafnia’s 50% share in the joint venture fleet, the LR2 fleet had a broker value of USD 697 million3, the LR1 fleet had a broker value of USD 1,092 million3, the MR fleet had a broker value of USD 1,745 million4and the Handy fleet had a broker value of USD 721 million5. The unencumbered vessels had a broker value of USD 1,667 million. The chartered-in fleet had a right-of-use asset book value of USD 43.5 million with a corresponding lease liability of USD 42.7 million.

Market Review & Outlook

Market Fundamentals

The second quarter saw continued disruption to Arabian Gulf flows due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Gulf oil production recovered only partially, standing at 23.9 mb/d in July, 8.3 mb/d below pre-conflict levels. The memorandum signed between the US and Iran in mid-June facilitated a partial reopening of the Strait and a sharp recovery in oil flows. Arabian Gulf loadings peaked near 20 mb/d at the start of July, before the agreement broke down and renewed attacks on tankers and energy infrastructure reduced loadings to about 12 mb/d by month-end.

Alternative routings that had partially offset the closure also came under direct pressure during the period. Rising tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia have caused vessels to turn away from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, reestablishing the Red Sea chokepoint in the global oil supply chain. We are already seeing an increase in Red Sea exports shifting toward northern routes, exiting via both the Suez Canal and the SUMED pipeline. Rerouting via Suez and SUMED adds almost 30 days to Asia-bound transit, supporting tonne-mile.

The dislocation is most visible in product trade. Global seaborne oil product exports averaged 27.7 mb/d in July, 3.8 mb/d below a year ago. Gulf countries accounted for 2.9 mb/d of the decline, while the United States offset 0.7 mb/d. Buyers historically dependent on Russian and Middle Eastern barrels secured replacement volumes from the United States, Europe, and India, lengthening average voyage distances across the diesel trade. Inventories continued to draw sharply, with OECD oil inventories falling 69 mb in July, increasing the need for ongoing replenishment and supporting seaborne trade flows and tanker demand.

Forward View

The outlook remains highly uncertain and depends heavily on the durability of any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the pace at which Gulf and Asian refining capacity returns. The demand-side impact has proved more significant than initially anticipated. The IEA now forecasts global oil demand contracting by 1.6 mb/d in 2026 to 103.3 mb/d, compared with the 0.4 mb/d decline projected in May. Asia and the Middle East have been hit hardest, accounting for 62% and 28% of the expected decline, respectively. Global demand is expected to expand by 2.4 mb/d in 2027.

Inventory levels underpin our medium-term view. Once market conditions improve, IEA member countries will need to replace up to 400 mb of emergency stocks released during the crisis, of which about 300 mb had been drawn by the end of July. Notably, the remaining committed volumes consist largely of crude oil, offering limited relief to product market tightness, which has become the more pressing constraint. Furthermore, the 172 mb US SPR release, of which about 134 mb has been contracted, is projected to refill in 2027. Several non-IEA countries, including China and India, have also depleted reserves.

A durable reopening of the Strait, combined with the recovery of Eastern refining capacity, would allow ballast tonnage to reposition and, over time, normalize the geographic imbalances that have supported Atlantic Basin freight rates. The IEA further identifies a potential supply overhang of up to 4 mb/d in 2027 as Gulf production recovers, which would return global stocks to February 2026 levels by mid-2027 and push them approximately 1 billion barrels higher by the end of 2027. In our view, that rebuild represents cargo to be carried rather than a headwind, but the transition may be volatile.

On the vessel supply side, our view is unchanged from prior quarters. While newbuild deliveries remain elevated in 2026, the overall supply outlook is more balanced than headline orderbook figures suggest. Scrapping potential is increasing as the global fleet ages, and the sanctioned fleet continues to expand, with much of that tonnage unlikely to return to mainstream trading. A significant share of the product tanker orderbook comprises LR2 vessels, many of which trade in the crude segment, further tightening effective supply within the clean market. We also note that a substantial share of recent ordering activity has been concentrated in the larger crude segments, particularly Suezmaxes and VLCCs, reflecting owners’ response to sustained strength in crude freight markets and the rerouting of crude flows around the Gulf.

BW LPG Limited – Financial Results for Q2 2026

BW LPG Limited – Financial Results for Q2 2026

SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
BW LPG Limited (NYSE: BWLP) (OSE: BWLPG.OL):

Highlights Q2 2026

Financial performance

  • Q2 2026 profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was US$120 million, representing an earnings per share of US$0.79, contributed by a strong shipping performance.

Commercial performance

  • Q2 2026 TCE income – Shipping concluded at US$74,000 per available day and US$71,600 per calendar day, after IFRS 15 and FFA negative adjustments of US$16.4 million and US$12.0 million respectively. The earnings also reflect the Company’s robust time charter coverage of 53% of available days at US$64,000 per day, and good exposure to the strong spot market.

  • BW Product Services generated a strong realised trading gain of US$127 million during the quarter. Reported trading results were a gross loss of US$18 million and a loss after tax of US$31 million, primarily due to a non-cash unrealised mark-to-market valuation change of negative US$145 million on open positions.

Q3 2026 TCE guidance

  • For Q3, available fleet days are fixed at 92% at an average rate of ~US$88,000 per day, including fixed time charter coverage of 41% at US$44,300 per day. The TCE guidance excludes potential IFRS 15 and FFA impact.

Strong dividend distribution

  • Supported by ample liquidity, the Company declared a Q2 2026 cash dividend of US$0.95 per share, which equals to 100% of Shipping NPAT for Q2 2026.

Subsequent events

  • Sale of 2007-built BW Elm and BW Birch, both second-hand sales at a value equivalent to a newbuilding price of ~US$248 million. On a 100% basis, the sales are expected to generate net book gains of approximately US$36 million for BW Elm and US$37 million for BW Birch, with net cash proceeds of approximately US$64 million for each vessel. BW Elm was delivered in July, and BW Birch is expected to be delivered by mid-November.

  • Sale of the 2015-built BW Levant, acquired as part of the 2024 Avance Gas transaction. The sale is expected to generate a net book gain and net cash proceeds of approximately US$17 million and US$38 million respectively. BW Levant is scheduled for delivery by mid-November.

  • 2016-built LPG dual-fuel retrofit vessel fixed for five-year time charter out agreement in the mid-high US$40,000s per day with delivery end 2026.

Financial Performance

BW LPG Limited (“BW LPG”, the “Company”, NYSE ticker code: “BWLP”, OSE ticker code: “BWLPG.OL”) reported a Q2 2026 Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of US$138 million, yielding an annualised return on equity of 27%. The Q2 profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company was US$120 million, and earnings per share were US$0.79.

The Company reported ample liquidity of US$773 million. The end-of-quarter net leverage ratio was 23.5%, compared to 26.3% as of 31 March 2026.

The Board declared a cash dividend of US$0.95 per share, representing 100% of Shipping NPAT Q2 2026.

Commercial Performance Shipping

The Q2 2026 shipping performance resulted in US$74,000 per available day and US$71,600 per calendar day, after IFRS 15 and FFA negative adjustments of US$16.4 and US$12.0 million respectively. Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) income was US$274.9 million for the quarter, with the BW LPG India subsidiary contributing a TCE income of US$68.4 million for the quarter.

For Q3 2026, the Company has fixed ~92% of available days at an average rate of ~US$88,000 per day.

For 2H 2026, the Company has secured 41% of the fleet capacity on fixed-rate time charters at US$44,100 per day, and an additional 4% through FFA hedges at an average rate of US$48,000 per day.

Product Services

Product Services delivered strong positive realised results despite turbulent market conditions, reflecting effective risk management. The trading division generated a realised trading gain of US$127 million during the quarter. Trading results reported as a gross loss of US$18 million and a loss after tax of US$31 million, primarily due to a non-cash unrealised mark-to-market valuation change of negative US$145 million on open positions.

Market Update

The first half of 2026 was one of the most volatile periods on record for the VLGC market. Following the outbreak of war in the Middle East, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz caused significant disruption to regional LPG pricing and global VLGC trade patterns.

In the immediate aftermath of the conflict, LPG importers shifted their procurement towards the US, driving export terminal fees sharply higher while VLGC freight rates weakened. As additional US export capacity subsequently came online, vessel availability rather than export infrastructure emerged as the primary bottleneck in the LPG value chain.

Towards the end of June, the price differential between US and Far East LPG (the arbitrage) narrowed considerably as expectations for a sustained reopening of the Strait of Hormuz grew.

More recently, spot VLGC rates have strengthened alongside a widening US–Far East LPG arbitrage as tensions in the Middle East have re-escalated. In addition, declining water levels have prompted the Panama Canal Authority to impose transit restrictions, resulting in more VLGCs sailing via the Cape of Good Hope. The longer voyage distances have reduced the effective supply of vessels and provided further support to freight rates.

Cargo Movements

During the first half of 2026, US LPG exports carried by VLGCs increased by 16%, supported by additional export capacity and a shift in sourcing following the outbreak of war in the Middle East.

India accounted for the largest increase, with US LPG exports to India rising 212% compared with the first half of 2025. US exports to China also recovered during the period, reaching monthly levels not seen since the onset of the US–China trade war. As a result, US exports to China for the first six months of 2026 increased 2% year-on-year.

Middle East LPG exports carried by VLGCs declined 46% year-on-year during the first six months of 2026 as the conflict severely disrupted cargo movements through the Strait of Hormuz.

Far East LPG imports declined 18% during the first half of 2026, primarily due to the disruption of Middle East exports. China recorded the largest decline, with imports down 26% year-on-year, while imports into Japan and South Korea decreased by 1% and 7%, respectively.

LPG imports into Southeast Asia carried by VLGCs declined by only 1% during the first half of 2026. While the region has historically sourced most of its LPG from the Middle East, it has increasingly diversified towards US supply in recent years. Imports from the US increased 31% compared with the first half of 2025.

Panama Canal

The new locks at the Panama Canal have continued to operate at or near full capacity. However, lower-than-normal rainfall has reduced water levels in Lake Gatún, resulting in restrictions on transits through the original locks and higher auction fees for the new locks.

Continued congestion and elevated transit costs cannot be ruled out for the remainder of the year, particularly if El Niño adversely affects rainfall in Panama.

Looking further ahead, demand for Panama Canal transits is expected to increase as additional LNG, ethane and LPG carriers enter service.

China PDH plants

Average PDH operating rates in China have recovered to levels above 70%, close to those seen prior to the outbreak of the war in the Middle East. LPG inventories have also rebounded from the low levels recorded in May, reflecting stronger import volumes during June.

While no additional PDH plants are expected to come online for the remainder of 2026, nine more are scheduled to start up in 2027, followed by another six in 2028 and beyond.

Fleet Capacity

During 2026, 27 VLGCs have been delivered, with a further 13 vessels expected by year-end.

The orderbook currently stands at 155 VLGCs, equivalent to 35% of the existing fleet, with deliveries scheduled through the fourth quarter of 2030. Approximately 9% of the existing fleet is 25 years of age or older.

Market Outlook

Spot VLGC earnings are expected to remain highly sensitive to geopolitical developments and disruptions to global trading patterns.

A full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would almost certainly increase Middle East LPG export volumes, however, it could also narrow the US–Far East arbitrage and reduce overall ton-mile demand for VLGCs.

Assuming conflict resolution in Q3 2026, the Middle East exports are expected to gradually recover, although full recovery is expected to take 12-36 months depending on local conditions and infrastructure damage severity. North American LPG exports are expected to continue growing, supported by new export infrastructure and increasing gas-rich oil production from the Permian Basin.

The Ras Tanura–Chiba Forward Freight Agreement (FFA) market for the remainder of 2026 is currently indicating earnings slightly below US$180,000 per day, although liquidity remains limited.

HUTCHMED Announces NMPA Approval for ATLED® (Fanregratinib) for the Treatment of Patients with FGFR2-Fusion/Rearrangement Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Novel, highly potent oral selective FGFR 1/2/3 inhibitor approved for patients with advanced FGFR2-altered intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in China

HONG KONG and SHANGHAI and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HUTCHMED (China) Limited (“HUTCHMED”) (Nasdaq/AIM:HCM; HKEX:13) today announces that the New Drug Application (NDA) for fanregratinib (HMPL-453), a novel, selective, oral inhibitor targeting FGFR 1/2/3, has been granted conditional approval by the China National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) for the treatment of adult patients with advanced, metastatic or unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (“ICC”) with fibroblast growth factor receptor (“FGFR”) 2 fusion or rearrangement who have previously received systemic therapy. Fanregratinib will be marketed in China under the brand name ATLED®

ICC is a highly aggressive malignancy arising from the intrahepatic biliary epithelium. It accounts for 8.2-15.0% of primary liver cancers, and consequently it is the second most common type after hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, the incidence of ICC has continued to rise, with a 5-year overall survival rate of approximately 9%.1 Approximately 10-15% of ICC patients globally have tumors harboring FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements.2,3

The approval is supported by data from the Phase II registration cohort of the single-arm, multi-center, open-label, pivotal Phase II/IIIb clinical trial of ATLED® in China (NCT04353375). The results were recently presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress 2026. The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating an Independent Review Committee (IRC)-assessed objective response rate (ORR) of 42.5% (95% CI: 30.0%–53.6%) in pretreated advanced ICC patients harboring FGFR2-fusions/rearrangements, representing a strong, clinically meaningful response.

Key secondary endpoints showed consistent clinical activity and a rapid onset of action, with a median time to response of 1.4 months. Median duration of response (DoR) was 6.9 months (95% CI: 5.6–8.5) and disease control rate (DCR) reached 83.9% (95% CI: 74.5%–90.9%). Furthermore, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.1–8.2), while the median overall survival (OS) was 16.6 months (95% CI: 12.4–16.6).

“As a major and devastating subtype of primary liver cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma carries an immense disease burden with historically limited targeted options. We are thrilled by the NMPA approval of ATLED®, which directly addresses this critical therapeutic gap in China,” said Mr Johnny Cheng, Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of HUTCHMED. “This approval unlocks an important new treatment alternative for a substantial population of pretreated advanced ICC patients. We are fully prepared to leverage our established commercial infrastructure to bring this precision medicine to patients as rapidly as possible.”

The Phase IIIb portion of the trial will serve as the confirmatory study to further validate the clinical benefits and safety of ATLED® in this setting. Enrollment for this confirmatory cohort was initiated in January 2026.

About ATLED

®

ATLED® (fanregratinib, HMPL-453) is a novel, highly selective and potent inhibitor targeting FGFR 1, 2 and 3. Aberrant FGFR signaling has been found to be a driving force in tumor growth, promotion of angiogenesis and resistance to anti-tumor therapies. Abnormal FGFR gene alterations are believed to be the drivers of tumor cell proliferation in several solid tumor settings. HUTCHMED currently retain all rights to fanregratinib worldwide.

About HUTCHMED

HUTCHMED (Nasdaq/AIM:HCM; HKEX:13) is an innovative, commercial-stage, biopharmaceutical company. It is committed to the discovery and global development and commercialization of targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases. Since inception it has focused on bringing drug candidates from in-house discovery to patients around the world, with its first four medicines marketed in China, the first of which is also approved around the world including in the US, Europe and Japan.
