Revenues Jump 80% from Second Quarter 2020
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 11, 2020 / Stabilis Solutions, Inc., ("Stabilis" or the "Company") (OTCQX:SLNG) today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Sequential Quarter Results
For the third quarter ("current quarter") Stabilis reported revenues of $9.0 million, an 80% increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2020 ("preceding quarter") primarily due to a large remote power contract in Mexico, hurricane related temporary power projects along the gulf coast, and the increase in overall industrial activity following the widespread economic shutdown during the second quarter. Revenues from Stabilis' LNG segment increased by $3.6 million (90%) in the current quarter on an 80% increase in gallons delivered. The Company delivered 8.3 million LNG gallons to customers in the quarter. Utilization of the George West liquefier improved to 48% in the current quarter versus 33% in the preceding quarter. Power Delivery segment revenues increased by 39% to $1.4 million.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $0.4 million in the current quarter, an improvement of $1.2 million from the preceding quarter. The net loss for the current quarter narrowed to $2.1 million compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in the preceding quarter.
Calendar Quarter Results
Revenues in the current quarter decreased $1.5 million (14%) compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019 ("prior year quarter") primarily due to lower oil and gas related activity, partially offset by additional work in other sectors, primarily in Mexico. LNG segment revenues decreased by $1.5 million (16%). Utilization of the George West liquefier was 48% in the current quarter versus 82% in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was consistent with the prior year quarter and the net loss for the current quarter improved by $1.2 million compared to the prior year quarter.
"We are extremely pleased with the recovery which began in the third quarter and is ongoing." said Jim Reddinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stabilis Solutions, Inc. "Our team responded to the challenging spring by aggressively pursuing new revenue opportunities, demonstrating flawless execution with our customers, and significantly reducing costs. We believe the worst is behind us and we are well positioned to grow in 2021."

About Stabilis
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. is a vertically integrated provider of small-scale liquefied natural gas ("LNG") production, distribution and fueling services to multiple end markets in North America. Stabilis has safely delivered over 200 million gallons of LNG through more than 20,000 truck deliveries during its 15-year operating history in the LNG industry, which we believe makes us one of the largest and most experienced small-scale LNG providers in North America. Stabilis' customers use LNG as a fuel source in a variety of applications in the industrial, energy, mining, utilities and pipelines, commercial, and high horsepower transportation markets. Stabilis' customers use LNG as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil and propane, to lower fuel costs and reduce harmful environmental emissions. Stabilis' customers also use LNG as a "virtual pipeline" solution when natural gas pipelines are not available or volumes are curtailed. To learn more, visit www.stabilis-solutions.com.

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).
