2026 Outlook

Following a stronger-than-expected first quarter 2026 performance and improved visibility on commercial activities, the Company is increasing its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of US$320 million to US$340 million up from its prior guidance of US$310 million to US$330 million.

Management Commentary

"We are encouraged by a promising start to 2026, which reflects the continued execution of our growth strategy," said Mr. Koh Kuan Hua, Chief Executive Officer of Uni-Fuels. "During the quarter, we delivered year-over-year growth in revenue and marine fuel volumes, and improved gross margins. Operational performance remained strong, although quarterly results were impacted by a net loss primarily attributable to corporate communication expenses incurred during the period. We remain focused on building on this momentum through disciplined execution of our growth initiatives, driving consistent performance, and improving returns on capital. Based on our strong first quarter performance and improving commercial visibility, we are pleased to raise our full year 2026 revenue outlook to US$320 million -- US$340 million."
