Stabilis Solutions Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2023 / Stabilis Solutions, Inc., ("Stabilis" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SLNG), a leading provider of clean energy production, storage, and delivery solutions, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

RECENT PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Announced new multi-year marine LNG bunkering contract with Carnival Corporation in October 2023

Finalized purchase of key components for a new 100,000 gallon per day LNG liquefaction train

Delivered quarter-over-quarter revenue growth of 19%

Generated third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million

More than $8 million in cash and available liquidity to support ongoing strategic growth initiatives

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We delivered third quarter results in-line with our expectations, while continuing to advance a series of strategic and operational priorities that position us for long-term profitable growth," stated Westy Ballard, President and CEO. "As a result of these efforts, we announced a significant, multi-year bunkering contract with Carnival Corporation. This new contract is an important validation of our marine strategy as we seek to develop the leading LNG bunkering solutions platform with partnering ports across the United States."

STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Advanced LNG marine bunkering strategy. In October 2023, Stabilis was awarded a multi-year marine bunkering contract to provide LNG fuel and related services to the Carnival Jubilee, the newest addition to the Carnival Cruise Line fleet, which is scheduled to set sail from Galveston, Texas beginning in December 2023. Under the contract, Stabilis will supply project management and permitting, field personnel, waterside infrastructure and logistics services in addition to LNG deliveries on a firm, ratable basis, initially from its owned liquefaction facility in Texas over the two-year contract, with an option to extend the contract for up to an additional two years at the request of Carnival Corporation. Stabilis remains actively engaged in discussions with numerous vessel operators as they continue to evaluate their fuel supply for future LNG-fueled vessels coming into service.

Completed procurement of major components for a second, 100,000 gallons per day (GPD) liquefaction train. When placed into service, the liquefaction train is designed to increase Stabilis' total liquefaction capacity from 130,000 GPD to 230,000 GPD. Stabilis is currently evaluating several potential locations for the new train, as the additional liquefaction capacity is intended to support customer demand from within the LNG marine bunkering market.

Enhanced processing capabilities at Texas liquefaction facility. In August 2023, Stabilis completed plant modifications and enhancements to address feed gas composition changes at its Texas liquefaction facility. The gas composition changes at the facility had an estimated Adjusted EBITDA impact of ($1.3) million during the third quarter and ($3.2) million on a year-to-date basis through September 30, 2023.

Disciplined capital management supports balance sheet optimization. On a year-to-date basis, Stabilis generated $5.4 million in operating cash flow, and invested $9 million in primarily expansion-focused capital projects, including a 100,000 GPD liquefaction train, George West facility upgrades and cryogenic rolling stock. As of September 30, 2023, the company had $8.6 million of total cash and liquidity and a ratio of net debt to trailing-twelve month Adjusted EBITDA of 0.7x.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance and operating results of our business. EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest (includes interest income and interest expense), Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for certain special items that occur during the reporting period, as noted below. We include EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Accordingly, they should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements. Because the definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary among companies and industries, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands).
