Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased over the prior quarter primarily due to the commencement of the Finland charter and margins related to gas sales in Finland. For the year, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR increased over the prior period primarily due to the contribution from a full year of gas sales at the Bahia terminal in Brazil, which was partially offset by a decrease in LNG cargo sales and sub-charters, as well as an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses to support our transition to a public company structure.

KEY COMMERCIAL UPDATES

Venture Global SPA

In February 2023, Excelerate executed a 20-year Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Venture Global. Under the SPA, Excelerate will purchase 0.7 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG on a free on board (FOB) basis from Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG Phase 2 project in Plaquemines, Louisiana. This strategic partnership with Venture Global is an important step for Excelerate as the Company continues to execute its growth strategy. Building a diversified LNG supply portfolio will allow Excelerate to offer more flexible and cost-effective products to both existing and new customers in its downstream markets.

Finland

In December 2022, the FSRU Exemplar arrived at the port of Inkoo, Finland with a partial cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) which served as the commissioning cargo for the terminal. Excelerate, through its Finnish gas marketing subsidiary, Excelerate Finland Gas Marketing Oy (“Excelerate Finland”), executed an agreement for the sale of commissioning volumes and regasification capacity rights during the commissioning phase. The Exemplar’s charter hire commenced October 1, 2022.

Excelerate and Gasgrid Finland Oy (“Gasgrid Finland”) previously announced an executed 10-year, time charter party agreement for Excelerate to provide LNG regasification services.

Germany

In October 2022, Excelerate signed a five-year charter agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany for the FSRU Excelsior. The Excelsior is expected to provide regasification services at Germany’s planned LNG import terminal which is being developed at the port of Wilhelmshaven by Tree Energy Solutions, E.ON, and ENGIE. The charter hire for the Excelsior commenced in February 2023. The FSRU will be temporarily deployed to provide seasonal regasification service at the Bahia Blanca GasPort terminal in Argentina before returning to the German charter in the third quarter of 2023.

Dubai

In February 2023, Excelerate reached an agreement with Dubai Supply Authority ("DUSUP") to extend its Time Charter Agreement for the FSRU Explorer. Prior to this agreement, the FSRU Explorer contract was due to end in the fourth quarter of 2025. Under the terms of the new agreement, the time charter period will be extended by an additional five years from the end of the existing contract in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Argentina

In March 2023, Excelerate was awarded a seasonal charter for the FSRU Excelsior at the Bahia Blanca GasPort terminal in Argentina. The Excelsior, which is currently being chartered by the German government, will be placed on a suspension agreement while it is temporarily deployed to Bahia Blanca to provide regasification services during the Argentina winter. Immediately after the Argentina winter season, the Excelsior will resume its original charter with the German government.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In March, the Company closed on an amended and restated $600 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $350 million revolving credit facility and a $250 million Term Loan (the “Facility”). Proceeds from the Term Loan will be used to purchase the FSRU Sequoia, which is currently under a bare boat charter with a third party until mid-2025. Excelerate gave notice to the vessel owner regarding its intent to exercise its purchase option following the closing of the Facility. Proceeds from the revolving credit facility are expected to be used primarily for letters of credit, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2022, Excelerate had $516.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $40 million of letters of credit issued, and no outstanding borrowings under its $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

On March 23, 2023, Excelerate’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a quarterly dividend equal to $0.025 per share of Class A common stock, which will be paid on April 27, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 12, 2023.

2023 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the full year 2023, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to range between $320 million and $340 million. Following the anticipated purchase of the FSRU Sequoia in the second quarter of 2023, the Company will no longer incur rental expense for the Sequoia bareboat charter. The Company will cease reporting Adjusted EBITDAR in 2023. Maintenance capex for 2023 is expected to range between $15 million and $35 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.

INVESTOR CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST

The Excelerate management team will host a conference call for investors and analysts at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (7:30 a.m. Central Time) on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Investors are invited to access a live webcast of the conference call via the Investor Relations page on the Company’s website at www.excelerateenergy.com.

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 2022 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 and Adjusted EBITDAR

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, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, 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. In the second quarter of 2022, we revised the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to adjust for the impact of non-cash long-term incentive compensation expense, which we did not have prior to becoming a public company, and the early extinguishment of lease liability related to the acquisition of the Excellence vessel, as management believes such items do not directly reflect our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP financial measure included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is a valuation measure commonly used by financial statement users to more effectively compare the results of our operations from period to period and against other companies without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We define Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of rental expenses for vessels and other infrastructure, which are normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary to operate our business.

Adjusted Net Income

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, which it defines as net income plus the early extinguishment of lease liability related to the acquisition of the Excellence vessel and restructuring, transition and transaction expenses. Management believes Adjusted Net Income is useful because it provides insight on profitability excluding the impact of non-recurring charges related to our IPO. The Company's computation of Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

The Company adjusts net income for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income 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. These measures have 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 and Adjusted EBITDAR. Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income because it excludes rental expenses for vessels and other infrastructure, which is a normal, recurring cash operating expense that is necessary to operate the Company's business. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For the foregoing reasons, each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net Income 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.

(“Excelerate,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those identified in this press release as well as the following: customers’ contract termination rights or failure to perform their contractual obligations; risks and technical complexities inherent in operating the Company’s floating storage and regasification units (“FSRUs”) and other infrastructure assets; unforeseen delays, cancellations, expenses or other complications in developing the Company’s projects; regasification terminal or other facility failures; the Company’s need for substantial capital expenditures to maintain or replace FSRUs, terminals or other associated assets; reliance on third parties, including engineering, procurement and construction contractors; officer and crew shortages; the Company’s ability to maintain customer and supplier relationships and to source new suppliers; the Company’s ability to connect with third-party infrastructure; the Company’s ability to purchase or receive delivery of sufficient quantities of liquified natural gas (“LNG”) to satisfy contractual obligations and exposure to commodity price risk; changes in the demand for and price of LNG; the competitive market for LNG regasification services and fluctuations in hire rates for FSRUs; community and political group resistance to existing and new LNG and natural gas infrastructure due to concerns about the environment, safety and terrorism; access to financing sources on favorable terms; the Company’s debt level and finance lease liabilities that could limit its flexibility to obtain additional financing or refinance existing debt;  catastrophic events, political tensions, conflicts and wars (such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war), health crises and pandemics; volatility of the global financial markets and uncertain economic conditions, including the impact of increased inflation and related governmental monetary policies; and the other risks, uncertainties and other factors identified under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note: We have not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR 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.
