Stabilis Solutions Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Stabilis reported a net loss of ($2.2) million, on revenue of $12.9 million, versus a net loss of ($2.2) million, on revenue of $23.2 million in the second quarter 2022, and net income of $1.1 million, on revenue of $26.8 million in the first quarter 2023. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") was ($0.1) million in the second quarter 2023, compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter 2022 and $3.5 million in the first quarter 2023.

The year-over-year results were driven by a decline in non-margin producing (pass through) commodity prices, a change in feed gas composition at its south Texas LNG production facility, and additional operating costs to support future marine growth.

Sequentially, Stabilis' results were driven by the scheduled completion of a large short-term bunkering contract, the decline in non-margin producing (pass-through) commodity prices, typical seasonal demand trends, and change in feed gas composition at its south Texas LNG production facility.

Total capital expenditures increased approximately 400% on a year-to-date basis in 2023 to $5.2 million, versus the same period last year, to support an anticipated acceleration in marine customer demand growth. The Company expects the pace of its capital expenditures to continue as marine bunkering and new commercial opportunities are finalized.

As of June 30, 2023, Stabilis had total cash and equivalents of $8.1 million, an undrawn $10 million revolving credit facility, subject to a borrowing base, and remaining capacity under its advancing loan with Ameristate bank. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023 was $9.9 million, resulting in a ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of 0.2x.

For a full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics, please refer to the Appendix of this release.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our second quarter results were consistent with our expectations and were primarily attributable to lower pass-through natural gas feed stock commodity prices, the expected completion of a short-term marine bunkering contract, and usual seasonal activity, much of which has been re-awarded to Stabilis for the upcoming winter season. During the second quarter, we also experienced lower utilization at our Texas liquefaction plant due to changes in the composition in our supplier's feed gas, which we are confident will be remedied during the third quarter," stated Westy Ballard, President and CEO.

"Strategically, our objective of optimizing our core industrial business, while accelerating growth within a massive and multi-year marine vessel bunkering and export demand cycle, remains the same" continued Ballard. "We believe that there is insufficient infrastructure in the U.S. market to support the future demand for LNG vessel bunkering and it is our goal to be a significant participant in filling this void. To date, we've established marine operations on three coasts and are preparing for expansion in additional key strategic ports. Over the last year, we've made strong progress within the marine market, with our total marine revenue increasing by more than $16 million to 21% of total revenue, versus 5% in the prior-year period. Growth into a developing and nascent industry can be lumpy period-over-period and not always linear, but we are confident the overall trajectory will continue to move higher, especially as a significant volume of new, LNG-fueled vessels enter the market beginning in 2024."

Ballard concluded: "As the only publicly traded, small-scale LNG growth platform in North America, we are uniquely positioned to be the leader in marine bunkering by leveraging our proven business model to expand and optimize our portfolio of owned and third-party assets to drive long-term growth and shareholder returns."

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).
