FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STABILIS ENERGY ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Company Sees U.S. Activity Recovering and Mexico Acceleration Beginning in Q3
Houston, August 5, 2020 — Stabilis Energy, Inc., (“Stabilis” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: SLNG) today reported its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Sequential Quarter Results
For the second quarter (“current quarter”) Stabilis reported revenues of $5.0 million, a 64% decrease from the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (“preceding quarter”) primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the related shutdown of many businesses, and the resulting decrease in industrial activity. Revenues from Stabilis’ LNG segment decreased by $8.5 million (68%) in the current quarter on a 62% decrease in gallons delivered. The Company delivered 4.6 million LNG gallons to customers in the quarter. Utilization of the George West liquefier declined to 31% in the current quarter versus 74% in the preceding quarter. Power Delivery segment revenues fell by 25% to $1.0 million.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was a loss of $0.8 million in the current quarter, a $2.3 million decrease from the preceding quarter. The net loss for the current quarter increased to $3.5 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million in the preceding quarter.
Calendar Quarter Results
Revenues in the current quarter decreased $6.1 million (55%) compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2019 (“prior year quarter”) as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, partially offset by revenues resulting from the closing of the Company’s business combination with American Electric Technologies (“AETI”) subsequent to the prior year quarter. LNG segment revenues decreased by $7.1 million (64%). Utilization of the George West liquefier was 31% in the current quarter versus 76% in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter decreased by $2.5 million and the net loss for the current quarter increased by $2.4 million compared to the prior year quarter.
1
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on activity levels during the second quarter in both the LNG and Power Delivery segments. The LNG segment, which is focused on North America, experienced activity declines and project delays across most of our customer sectors, particularly with upstream oil and gas and industrial customers.
The Company's Power Delivery segment has its primary operational presence in Brazil, which currently has the second highest number of reported COVID-19 cases behind the United States. Our Brazilian activities were impacted in the second quarter by shutdowns, work restrictions and quarantines at customer sites.
BOMAY, the Company's joint venture in China, returned to profitability in the second quarter as normal operations resumed.
Outlook and Liquidity
The Company experienced a low point in LNG gallons delivered in May and volumes have increased in each subsequent month since then. Sales activity is improving in multiple sectors, including aerospace, infrastructure, and marine. We have booked several new contracts with U.S. based customers during the quarter, including a contract to provide LNG to a large aerospace customer and a contract to support a major marine bunkering project.
We have signed contracts with several new customers in Mexico, including a greenhouse operator and a provider of remote power generation services. Additionally, we have contracts with several Mexican mining customers in the final stages of negotiation.
We believe that these new customers in the U.S. and Mexico will significantly diversify our end market exposure and, thereby, reduce our reliance on the upstream oil and gas sector and provide a meaningful improvement in current utilization for our George West liquefier.
While we are encouraged by the recent activity increases, contract awards and resurgence in bidding activity in our LNG business, at this time it remains uncertain how quickly we will be able to return to pre-pandemic revenue and EBITDA levels.
In Brazil, our backlog is currently at record levels. The timing of converting the backlog to revenue is dependent on a variety of factors including the Brazilian government’s response to the pandemic and our customers' pace and timing of activity.
During the second quarter, we received a cash dividend of $1.8 million from our Chinese joint venture and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $7.1 million.

About Stabilis
Stabilis Energy, 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.stabilisenergy.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).
