AI Summary

Dynagas LNG Partners LP reported Q1 2026 net income of $17.4 million ($0.43 EPS) and adjusted EBITDA of $24.3 million, with 95.1% fleet utilization. The company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.050 per common unit. A new time charter for the Clean Energy vessel with Rio Grande LNG, LLC commenced in April 2026 at a higher daily rate. However, new EU and UK sanctions on Russian-origin LNG, effective January 1, 2027, pose a material adverse risk to two long-term charters (Yenisei River and Lena River) with Yamal Trade Pte. Ltd., which accounted for 36% of 2025 revenues.
