The net loss reported for the quarter included a one-time charge of $21.8 million related to the early extinguishment of the Excellence lease as part of the IPO-related FSRU acquisition that was closed concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering in April 2022. The charge represents the difference between the amount paid for the Excellence compared to the lease liability at the time of the acquisition. Excluding the $21.8 million one-time charge and IPO-related restructuring expenses, Excelerate’s adjusted net income was $20.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for the second quarter of 2022 increased over the prior year period primarily due to incremental gas sales margins at the Bahia Terminal in Brazil which commenced in December of 2021. The sequential increase was driven by the commencement of regasification services at Bahia Blanca in Argentina in May, the Express resuming operations under its long-term regasification charter in early April, and higher gas sales volumes at the Bahia terminal in Brazil, all of which were partially offset by higher vessel operating costs.

KEY PROJECT UPDATES

Bahia Blanca

Excelerate continued to execute on its regasification business through a seasonal charter for the FSRU Exemplar at the Bahia Blanca GasPort regasification terminal in Argentina. The FSRU Exemplar arrived at Bahia Blanca in May 2022 and will provide regasification services through August 31, 2022. The FSRU Exemplar will be deployed to Finland in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Vlora LNG Terminal

In July 2022, Excelerate signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Bulgaria’s Overgas relating to the sale of regasified LNG downstream of the Company’s planned Vlora LNG terminal in Albania. Under the agreement, the two Parties will enter into a negotiation for Overgas to purchase up to 1.0 bcm of regasified LNG annually for ten years from Excelerate via the Vlora Terminal and the proposed Vlora-Fier Pipeline which is expected to interconnect with an existing natural gas pipeline in Europe’s southern gas corridor. The MOU expands the scope of Excelerate’s planned Vlora Terminal project by offering broader access to southern Europe’s natural gas market and has the potential to bring much needed supply diversification not only to Bulgaria, but also to neighboring countries in the region.

Finland LNG Terminal

Excelerate and Gasgrid Finland previously announced an executed 10-year, time charter party agreement for Excelerate to provide LNG regasification services, which is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gasgrid Finland has initiated the development of a new jetty in Southern Finland, near the Balticconnector pipeline, for the FSRU Exemplar to moor.

MLNG Expansion

Excelerate continues to advance commercial negotiations with the government of Bangladesh for the expansion of the Moheshkhali LNG (“MLNG”) terminal, the extension of its existing regasification agreement by five years to 2038, and a multi-year LNG supply agreement. As previously announced, the expansion project was approved in principle by the government of Bangladesh last quarter. MLNG is one of Excelerate’s three E-FIT integrated terminals.

Payra LNG

Excelerate is advancing commercial negotiations with the government of Bangladesh for the Payra LNG project. The proposed scope of the Payra LNG project, which is located in the southwestern part of the country, involves the development of an offshore FSRU import terminal and an onshore pipeline to the city of Khulna. As part of the project, Excelerate is also negotiating a long-term LNG supply agreement with the country. In August, Excelerate formally engaged HSBC as its financial advisor to support various financial aspects of the Payra project.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2022, Excelerate had $386 million in cash and cash equivalents. On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into a $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had letters of credit issued of $40 million and no outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility.

On August 5, 2022, Excelerate’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an inaugural quarterly dividend equal to $0.025 per share of Class A common stock, which will be paid on September 7, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2022.

2022 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The Company is reaffirming its prior guidance and expects Adjusted EBITDA to range between $249 million and $269 million for the full year 2022. In addition, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDAR to range between $285 million and $305 million.

Actual results may differ materially from the Company’s outlook as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Included in this press release are certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. They are designed to supplement, and not substitute, Excelerate’s financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP measures as defined by Excelerate may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. The presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that Excelerate’s future results, cash flows or leverage will be unaffected by other nonrecurring items. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating the Company's performance and valuation. See the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, including those measures presented as part of the Company’s 2022 Financial Outlook, in the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below.

Adjusted Gross Margin

The Company uses Adjusted Gross Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, which it defines as revenues less direct cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, to measure its operational financial performance. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is useful because it provides insight on profitability and true operating performance excluding the implications of the historical cost basis of its assets. The Company's computation of Adjusted Gross Margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure included as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of its operating performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, long-term incentive compensation expense and items such as charges and non-recurring expenses that management does not consider as part of assessing ongoing operating performance. In this quarter, the Company revised the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to adjust for the impact of long-term incentive compensation expense, which the Company did not have prior to becoming a public company, and the early extinguishment of lease liability related to the acquisition of the Excellence vessel, as management believes such items do not directly reflect the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP financial measure included as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it is a valuation measure commonly used by financial statement users to more effectively compare the results of its operations from period to period and against other companies without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAR, a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of rental expenses for vessels and other infrastructure, which are normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary to operate its business.

Adjusted Net Income

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, which it defines as net income (loss) plus the early extinguishment of lease liability related to the acquisition of the Excellence vessel and restructuring, transition and transaction expenses. Management believes Adjusted Net Income is useful because it provides insight on profitability excluding the impact of non-recurring charges related to our IPO. The Company's computation of Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

The Company adjusts net income for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or liquidity. These measures have limitations as certain excluded items are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR. Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income because it excludes rental expenses for vessels and other infrastructure, which is a normal, recurring cash operating expense that is necessary to operate the Company's business. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The Company's computations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For the foregoing reasons, each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of its profitability and valuation, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Note: We have not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR outlook to net income, the most comparable measure, because it is not possible to estimate, without unreasonable effort, our income taxes with the level of required precision. Accordingly, we have reconciled these non-GAAP measures to our estimated income before taxes.
