HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 4, 2022 / Stabilis Solutions, Inc., ("Stabilis" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SLNG), an energy transition company that provides turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions primarily using liquefied natural gas ("LNG") to multiple end markets across North America, today reported its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, Stabilis reported revenues of $23.0 million. Revenues from the Company's LNG segment and power delivery segments were $20.3 million and $2.8 million respectively.
Westy Ballard, President and CEO, commented "Revenue in the quarter was strong across multiple end markets including distributed power, mining, and oil & gas. Our Mexico business was also strong, and we began seeing an increase in demand from the aerospace industry, one of our key growth drivers."
Net loss for the quarter was $0.4 million compared to a net loss of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") a non-GAAP measure, was $2.0 million for the quarter, compared to $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million during the quarter and total liquidity at March 31, 2022 was $4.5 million consisting of cash and available credit under the Company's loan facility.
Ballard continued, "We are beginning to see the results of our business optimization initiative which we implemented in the fourth quarter of last year. Our focus on creating efficiencies and improving the performance of our core LNG business resulted in better customer pricing, improved project execution and more efficient management of labor and capital. As a result, we saw improved profitability in Q1 compared to the second half of 2021 in spite of significant inflationary pressures. In addition to the optimization of our existing business, we continue to work on a number of exciting growth opportunities including marine bunkering and aerospace and we look forward to providing additional updates soon."

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 loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands).
