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
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).
