Excelerate Energy's Q4 and full-year 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance, with the company achieving record full-year net income of $153.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $348.2 million.

The company's 2025 EBITDA guidance of
Excelerate's capital allocation strategy appears balanced between maintenance (
The company's strategic positioning as a U.S.-based global FSRU operator provides unique advantages in the current geopolitical environment. As European and Asian markets continue seeking energy security through diversified LNG imports, Excelerate's floating regasification infrastructure offers a faster, more flexible solution than traditional land-based terminals. The company's emphasis on expanding its fleet and optimizing its LNG supply portfolio suggests management is positioning for continued growth in global LNG demand, which is projected to increase approximately
The transition of the FSRU Sequoia to a time charter party agreement represents Excelerate's strategic flexibility in contract structures, potentially optimizing vessel utilization while maintaining revenue stability. This operational adaptability, combined with management's focus on downstream infrastructure investments, indicates a comprehensive approach to capturing value across the LNG value chain.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2024 increased primarily due to various charter rate increases and a full year of earnings for the FSRU Excelsior, partially offset by the transition of the FSRU Sequoia to a time charter party agreement in the first quarter of 2024. Net income also increased due to lower depreciation expense driven by an update to the Company's FSRU useful life assumption in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 were essentially flat to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher operating costs related to scheduled maintenance offset by further optimization of LNG cargo sales.

ABOUT EXCELERATE ENERGY
Excelerate Energy, Inc. is a
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
Adjusted Gross Margin
We use Adjusted Gross Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as revenues less direct cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, to measure our 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 our assets. Our 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
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion, non-cash 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.
We adjust net income for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA 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 our operating performance or liquidity. This measure has 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. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For the foregoing reasons, Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of our profitability and valuation, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Note: We have not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA 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. |
