Positive
FLNG Capacity Expansion: During Q3, we ordered our third FLNG, a Mark II FLNG with an annual liquefaction capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per annum. This represents a 70% increase to Golar's own liquefaction capacity and the Mark II FLNG will deliver within 2027.
Financial Overview Q3: Our key figures as of Q3 include a market cap of just around $4 billion, a cash position of just over $800 million net debt of around $650 million and an EBITDA backlog of approximately $11 billion inclusive of the Pan American Energy contract in Argentina.
Operating Revenue Increase: We achieved total operating revenues of $65 million with FLNG tariffs reaching $89 million, a slight increase from $88 million in Q2. This growth reflects higher realized variable earnings linked to Brent and TTF prices.
Financial Performance Overview: Total adjusted EBITDA for the quarter of $59 million, unsecured bond issue of $300 million, and a cash position of over $800 million.
Quarterly Dividend Announcement: We are pleased to declare a dividend of $0.25 per share this quarter, with a record date of November 25 and payments scheduled for on or around December 2.
Negative
Revenue Struggle Noted: Total operating revenues reached $65 million, which is a slight increase from $88 million in Q2, indicating a struggle to maintain revenue growth.
Adjusted EBITDA Consistency: The adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $59 million, remaining largely consistent with last quarter despite recognizing some pre-operational expenses associated with commissioning activities of Gim.
Net Loss Due to Derivatives: The company reported a net loss of $35 million primarily due to non-cash adjustments in the value of embedded TTF and Brent derivatives compared to Q2.
Net Debt Position Analysis: The net debt position at the end of the quarter stood at $646 million, indicating a significant debt burden that could impact future financial flexibility.
Backlog Impact on Cash Flow: The company has a significant backlog of $4.3 billion from Gim, which may create pressure on cash flow and operational efficiency.
