Insights

Excelerate Energy's Q2 2024 results show solid financial performance. Net Income rose to $33.3 million, up from $28.1 million in Q1 2024 and $29.6 million in Q2 2023. Adjusted EBITDA reached $89.0 million, a significant increase from $75.4 million in Q1 2024.

The company's improved performance is attributed to charter rate increases and higher interest income, offsetting decreased Brazil gas sales. Notably, Excelerate has raised its full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $320-$340 million, signaling confidence in sustained growth. With $609 million in cash and $349.9 million available in its revolver, Excelerate maintains a strong liquidity position for future investments and expansion.

Excelerate Energy's strategic moves in the LNG market are noteworthy. The term sheet signed with ITECO for a greenfield LNG import terminal in Vietnam represents a significant expansion opportunity. This project, with a planned capacity of 1.2 MTPA, aligns with growing LNG demand in Southeast Asia.

The company's focus on optimizing its regasification business and expanding its FSRU fleet with the newbuild Hull 3407 demonstrates a forward-thinking approach. These initiatives, coupled with progress in commercial negotiations for prioritized pipeline projects, position Excelerate well in the competitive LNG infrastructure market. However, investors should monitor the execution risks associated with these expansion plans, particularly in new markets like Vietnam.

Excelerate Energy's declaration of a $0.025 per share quarterly dividend reflects a commitment to shareholder returns. This consistent dividend policy, despite ongoing capital investments, suggests confidence in the company's cash flow generation and financial stability.

The company's transparency in providing detailed financial guidance and capital expenditure plans is commendable. The breakdown of committed growth capital ($70-$80 million) and maintenance capex ($50-$60 million) for 2024 gives investors clear insights into the company's investment strategy. This level of disclosure enhances investor trust and aligns with best practices in corporate governance for public companies in the energy sector.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 increased sequentially from last quarter primarily due to the drydocking of the FSRU Summit LNG which was incurred and expensed in the first quarter of 2024.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 increased from the prior year second quarter primarily due to the impact of various charter rate increases executed during 2023 and increased interest income, partially offset by a decrease in Brazil gas sales as the FSRU Sequoia transitioned to a time charter party agreement in Brazil.

KEY COMMERCIAL UPDATES

Vietnam

In June 2024, Excelerate signed a term sheet with ITECO Joint Stock Company (“ITECO”), a Vietnamese-based private development company, to co-develop a greenfield LNG import terminal in Haiphong, Vietnam. The Northern Vietnam LNG Terminal (“NVLT”) is anticipated to have a total import capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per annum ("MTPA"), constructed in two phases. Phase one of NVLT is expected to have a capacity of 0.7 MTPA and is expected to commence operations in 2027. The development of the project is subject to execution of definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other conditions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2024, Excelerate had $609 million in cash and cash equivalents and the Company had issued $0.1 million in letters of credit under its revolver. All of the $349.9 million of undrawn capacity under the revolver was available for additional borrowings as of June 30, 2024.

On August 1, 2024, Excelerate’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend equal to $0.025 per share of Class A common stock, which will be paid on September 5, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2024.

2024 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Excelerate is raising its full year guidance for Adjusted EBITDA. The Company now expects Adjusted EBITDA to range between $320 million and $340 million for the full year 2024. Committed growth capital, which is defined as capital allocated and committed to specific investments for previously approved capital projects, is still expected to range between $70 million and $80 million. Maintenance capex for 2024 is still expected to range between $50 million and $60 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 2024 Financial Outlook, in the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below.

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.

The Company adjusts net income for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA 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 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. 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. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 its 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.
