(1) See the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure in the section titled "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" below.

Net income increased over the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the one-time charge in second quarter related to the early extinguishment of the Excellence lease as part of the IPO-related FSRU acquisition, in addition to the Adjusted EBITDA variance drivers below.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for the third quarter of 2022 increased over the prior quarter due to lower idle fuel costs, lower repair and maintenance expenses, and higher margins from the Bahia Blanca seasonal charter in Argentina. This was partially offset by an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, primarily driven by higher consulting costs to support the Company’s transition to a public company structure, along with higher expenses related to business development and marketing activities.

KEY PROJECT UPDATES

Finland

The Finland charter hire commenced on October 1, 2022, and the FSRU Exemplar is currently undergoing customer requested winterization upgrades during a technical stop at the Navantia shipyard in Ferrol, Spain. Excelerate and Gasgrid Finland previously announced an executed 10-year, time charter party agreement for Excelerate to provide LNG regasification services, which are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Germany

In October 2022, Excelerate signed a five-year charter contract with the German government for the FSRU Excelsior. The Excelsior is expected to provide regasification services at Germany’s planned LNG import terminal which is being developed at the port of Wilhelmshaven by Tree Energy Solutions, E.ON, and ENGIE. Excelerate previously announced that the Company and ENGIE signed a term sheet for the deployment of an FSRU to provide flexible and secure LNG regasification capacity for Germany as it continues to seek alternatives to Russian pipeline gas supply.

HHI Newbuild FSRU

In October 2022, Excelerate signed a binding Shipbuilding Contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“HHI”) for a new FSRU to be delivered in June 2026. The state-of-the-art FSRU will be equipped with HHI’s proprietary LNG regasification system, dual fuel engines, selective catalytic reduction system, best-in-class containment system and boil-off gas management, and other innovative technologies which will drive improved performance and efficiency while lowering emissions. With this newbuild order, Excelerate now has eleven FSRUs in operation or under construction.

Bahia Blanca

The FSRU Exemplar completed its seasonal regasification charter at the Bahia Blanca GasPort in Argentina on August 31, 2022. During this period, the Exemplar provided critical security of supply for Argentina by receiving and re-gasifying twelve LNG cargos.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2022, Excelerate had $345.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had letters of credit issued of $40 million and no outstanding borrowings under its $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

On November 8, 2022, Excelerate’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a quarterly dividend equal to $0.025 per share of Class A common stock, which will be paid on December 14, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 22, 2022.

2022 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Excelerate is increasing its full year 2022 guidance range. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to range between $264 million and $274 million. The previous range was between $249 million and $269 million. In addition, the Company now expects full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDAR to range between $300 million and $310 million. The previous range was 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 the second quarter of 2022, 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.
