Business Context and Reporting Period

This filing is an Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed pursuant to Rule 15d-2 following the effectiveness of the company's Form F-1 Registration Statement on March 31, 2025. Delixy Holdings Ltd, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, operates primarily through its Singapore-based subsidiary, Delixy Energy Pte. Ltd., engaged in the trading of crude oil and oil-based products. The financial statements are presented under U.S. GAAP and reflect a corporate reorganization and a 1:200 forward stock split executed in late 2024.

Key Financial Metrics (2024)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 8.9% to $314.9 million, driven by a significant shift in product mix. Sales of oil-based products rose to $145.4 million (from $37.1 million), while crude oil sales declined to $169.5 million (from $252.1 million).
• Profitability: Net income decreased 10.8% to $1.0 million. While gross profit remained relatively stable, operating expenses increased to $3.6 million. A notable $177,000 gain on the disposal of property contributed to other income.
• Balance Sheet Expansion: Total assets more than doubled to $23.7 million, primarily due to a surge in accounts receivable (from $0.7 million to $17.5 million) and the capitalization of $1.3 million in deferred offering costs.
• Liquidity Decline: Cash and cash equivalents dropped by 59.4% to $3.3 million. This was driven by a net cash outflow of $4.9 million, largely due to dividend payments ($4.7 million) and offering costs ($1.3 million), partially offset by operating cash inflows.
• Debt Structure: The company incurred a $5.0 million non-trade loan from its controlling shareholder (Mega Origin) in 2024, replacing a significant dividend payable balance from the prior year.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Capital Markets Activity: The company is in the process of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). $1.3 million in deferred offering costs are capitalized on the balance sheet and will be charged to equity upon closing.
• Related Party Transactions: Significant transactions occurred with related parties, including the sale of the company's Singapore property to Wisecome Oil Pte. Ltd. (wholly owned by the CEO) for $1.3 million, and a $5.0 million loan from the controlling shareholder.
• Customer Concentration: The company relies on a few major customers. In 2024, Customer D, G, H, and I each represented over 10% of revenue. Customer I alone accounted for 100% of accounts receivable ($17.5 million).
• Supplier Concentration: Supplier D and H represented significant portions of total purchases in 2024.
• Risks: The company faces liquidity risk due to declining cash balances and high reliance on shareholder loans. It is also exposed to commodity price volatility, managed through derivative instruments, and foreign exchange risk (RMB and SGD).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Accounts Receivable Quality: Verify the collectability of the $17.5 million receivable balance, which is 100% concentrated with a single customer (Customer I) and represents a 2,350% increase year-over-year.
• Related Party Valuation: Confirm the fair value of the property sold to the CEO's related entity (Wisecome Oil) and the terms of the $5.0 million shareholder loan.
• Dividend Sustainability: Assess the impact of the $4.7 million in dividends paid in 2024 on future liquidity, given the reduced cash balance.
• Segment Profitability: Investigate the gross loss of $13.6 million in the crude oil segment versus the $17.9 million gross profit in the oil-based products segment to understand margin dynamics.
• IPO Status: Monitor the status of the Form F-1 registration and the potential write-off of deferred offering costs if the offering is delayed or fails.
