Our business involves our entering into various purchase and sale, hedgingsale and other transactions with numerous third parties (commonly referred to as “counterparties”). In such arrangements, we are exposed to the performance and credit risks of our counterparties, including the risk that one or more counterparties fails to perform its obligation to make deliveries of commodities and/or to make payments. These risks may increase during periods of commodity price volatility. Defaults by suppliers and other counterparties may adversely affect our operating results, liquidity and access to financing.
Operation and/or construction of our LNG infrastructure, liquefaction and other facilities involves significant risks.
Construction of new LNG infrastructure including new liquefaction and other facilities involves significant risks.
TheIncluded in our near-term and long-term growth strategy, is the completion of the construction of our proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility which will require significant amounts of capital during construction and expansion of energy-related infrastructure, including liquefaction facilities, as well as other future projects, involves numerous operational, regulatory, environmental, political, legal and economic risks beyond our control and may require the expenditure of significant amounts of capital during construction and thereafter. These potential risks include, among other things, the following:
In the event we are unable to obtain financing to construct the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility, or are unable to complete the construction on time, the counterparties to our bunkering agreements may terminate such agreements, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Even if the proposed Galveston LNG facility is completed, unanticipated additional costs, or failure to secure agreements to utilize the full capacity of the facility could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Timely and cost-effective completion of energy-related infrastructure, including maintenance and expansion of existing liquefaction facilities, as well as construction of future projects, in compliance with agreed specifications is central to our business strategy and is highly dependent on the performance of our contractors. The ability of our contractors to perform successfully under their agreements with us is dependent on a number of factors, including the contractor’s ability to:
We may be unable to integrate additions of new equipment and personnel to successfully deliver to our customers.
Meeting our obligations to our customers, including our newly executed multi-year on-site power generation contract for a data center, will require additions of new equipment and personnel. The supply agreement will require investment of up to $25.0 million in capital additions and near-term working capital needed to fund the start-up of the project. In the event, the data center is unable to properly integrate LNG into their operations, if we are unable to integrate additions of new equipment and personnel necessary to successfully deliver LNG to the customer, or if our sources of LNG are inadequate to service this contract, we may incur losses in cash flow and loss to our reputation related to future projects.
U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”). The USCG exercises regulatory authority over waterfront facilities that handle LNG under 33 C.F.R. Part 127, which establishes detailed requirements for the siting, design, construction, equipment, operations, maintenance, personnel qualifications, fire protection, and security of marine transfer areas associated with LNG. These regulations govern both new and existing LNG waterfront facilities and prescribe standards for transfer operations, emergency shutdown systems, sensing and alarm equipment, personnel training, recordkeeping, inspections, and security protocols. The USCG also oversees LNG-related bunkering and vessel fuel transfer operations, issuing and updating risk-based guidelines through Policy Letters to address evolving alternative marine fuels. These guidelines require us to undertake structured risk assessments, provide advance notice to the Captain of the Port, and demonstrate compliance with safety, personnel qualification, and operational requirements.
Greenhouse Gases/Climate Change. From time to time, there may be federal and state regulatory and policy initiatives to reduce green house ("GHG") emissions in the United States from a variety of sources. Other federal and state initiatives are being considered or may be considered in the future to address GHG emissions through, for example, United States treaty commitments or other international agreements, direct regulation, a carbon emissions tax, or cap-and-trade programs. For example, the U.S. recommitted to the Paris Agreement, an international treaty with the goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius as compared to pre-industrial levels. The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has adopted regulations for reporting and controlling GHG emissions from certain air emissions sources under its existing authority under the CAA, and may adopt more stringent regulations in the future. In addition, some states and foreign jurisdictions have individually or in regional cooperation, imposed restrictions on GHG emissions under various policies and approaches, including establishing a cap on emissions, requiring efficiency measures, or providing incentives for pollution reduction, use of renewable energy sources, or use of replacement fuels with lower carbon content.
Over the past several years, changing weather patterns and climatic conditions have added to the unpredictability and frequency of natural disasters in certain parts of the world, including the markets in which we operate and intend to operate, and have created additional uncertainty as to future trends. There is a growing consensusconcern today that climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and, in recent years, the frequency of major weather events appears to have increased. We cannot predict whether or to what extent damage that may be caused by natural events, such as severe tropical storms and hurricanes, will affect our operations or the economies in our current or future market areas, but the increased frequency and severity of such weather events could increase the negative impacts to economic conditions in these regions and result in a decline in the value or the destruction of our liquefiersliquefiers, construction in progress and downstream facilities or affect our ability to transport LNG. In particular, if one of the regions in which we operate is impacted by such a natural catastrophe in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, the economies of such impacted areas may require significant time to recover and there is no assurance that a full recovery will occur. Even the threat of a severe weather event could impact our business, financial condition or the price of our common stock.
Timely and cost-effective completion of energy-related infrastructure, including liquefaction facilities, as well as future projects, in compliance with agreed specifications is central to our business strategy and is highly dependent on the performance of our contractors. The ability of our contractors to perform successfully under their agreements with us is dependent on a number of factors, including the contractor’s ability to:
Technological innovation may render our liquefaction processes obsolete.obsolete or significantly decrease the demand of LNG as a fuel source for our customers.
Environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) goals, programs, and reporting are increasingly being identified by capital providers and investors as a priority for the energy industry, and access to capital and investors for companies not prioritizing ESG may become increasingly limited.
Spurred by increasing concerns regarding climate change, the energy industry faces growing demand for corporate transparency and a demonstrated commitment to sustainability goals. ESG goals and programs, which typically include extralegal targets related to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and corporate governance, have become an increasinga focus of some investors and shareholders across the industry. While reporting on ESG metrics remains voluntary, access to capital and investors is likely to favor companies with robust ESG programs in place. In addition, if ESG metrics and/or reporting become mandatory, our costs of planning, measuring, monitoring, and reporting on our operations could increase and could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and ability to execute our strategy.
We expect our working capital needs to increase to fund capital expenditures as we expand our operations to include construction of our proposed new Galveston LNG liquefaction facility and for our multi-year, on-site power generation for a data center beginning in 2027. Our current net working capital may not be sufficient to expand our operations in accordance with our strategy. In the future, we may pursue offerings of debt or equity securities or rely on future borrowings of debt to provide additional working capital as well as seek prepayments from customers. We also have working capital requirements driven by the delay between the purchase of and payment for natural gas and the payment terms that we offer our customers. Differences between the date when we pay our LNG supply and service providers and the date when we receive payments from our customers may adversely affect our liquidity and our cash flows.
We have significant working capital requirements, primarily driven by the delay between the purchase of and payment for natural gas and the payment terms that we offer our customers. Differences between the date when we pay our LNG supply and service providers and the date when we receive payments from our customers may adversely affect our liquidity and our cash flows. Further, we expect our working capital needs to increase to fund capital expenditures as our operations increase, and our net working capital may not be sufficient to expand our operations in accordance with our strategy. In the future, we may pursue offerings of debt or equity securities or rely on future borrowings of debt to provide additional working capital.
If we are unable to secure additional funding, or if it is only available on terms that we determine are not acceptable, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate parts of our business developmentexpansion efforts, or we may otherwise be unable to fully execute our business plan, and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that such additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. A variety of factors beyond our control could impact the availability or cost of capital, including domestic or international economic conditions, increases in key benchmark interest rates and/or credit spreads, the adoption of new or amended banking or capital market laws or regulations, the re-pricing of market risks and volatility in capital and financial markets, risks relating to the credit risk of our customers and the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as general risks, including limitations on investment capital, applicable to the energy sector, which may not be available as needed, or may be available in more limited amounts or on more expensive or otherwise unfavorable terms. In the event any of the lenders under these potential debt instruments were unable to perform on its commitments, we may need to seek replacement financing.
Failure to maintain compliance with debt covenants could give our lenders the right to accelerate payment which could adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to continue expansion efforts and continue normal operations.
The Company believes it will continue to maintain compliance with its debt covenants, however, in the event the Company is unable to maintain minimum profitability in accordance with its forecast and historical trends, it is reasonably possible that the Company could fail to maintain compliance with its consolidated debt service ratio covenant, which, if not cured or waived, would give AmeriState Bank the right to accelerate repayment of outstanding borrowings under the AmeriSate Secured Term Loan Facility, which totaled $7.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Such acceleration could adversely effect our liquidity, our ability to continue expansion efforts and continue normal operations.
We currently depend upon a limited number of customers. Our near term ability to generate cash is both dependent on the small number of customers’ continued willingness and ability to perform their obligations under their respective contracts. In the event one of our significant customer fails to perform its obligations under their contracts, our operating results, cash flow and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected, even if we were ultimately successful in seeking damages from any of these customers in the event of a breach of the contract. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, Carnival Corporation andCorporation, Aggreko Plc and Space Exploration Technologies Corp each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues.
Finally, our customer contracts may contain various termination rights, including, without limitation:
We expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of common stock holders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our facility development projects, product development or future commercialization efforts.
Moreover, because we are incorporated in Florida, we are governed by the provisions of Section 607.0901 and 607.0902 of the Florida Business Corporation Act. In general, Section 607.0901 regulates certain transactions between a corporation and an “interested shareholder,” one who beneficially owns more than tenfifteen percent of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares. The statute provides significant protection to minority shareholders by assuring that the transactions covered by the statute are either (a) procedurally fair (i.e., the transaction is approved by disinterested directors or disinterested shareholders) or (b) substantively fair (i.e., result in a fair price to the shareholders).
We hold a 40% interest in BOMAY Electric Industries Company, Ltd. (“BOMAY”), which builds electrical systems for sale in China. The majority partner in this foreign joint venture is Baoji Oilfield Machinery Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation), who owns 51%. The remaining 9% is owned by AA Energies, Inc. Our joint venture, BOMAY, has a finite life that is set to terminate in 2028. The joint venture may be terminated earlier for valid business reasons including force majeure. In the event the joint venture is to be terminated, either party may acquire the other parties’ interests and continue the operations of the joint venture. Additionally, the term of the joint venture may be extended upon agreement of all parties subject to approval from the relevant Chinese authority six months before expiration of the venture. At this time, Stabilis has no indication that the joint venture will not be extended; however, U.S. and Chinese political relations are strained and we can provide no assurance that such an extension will occur. The balance of our investment in BOMAY at December 31, 20242025 was $11.7$11.9 million accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is subject to risk. See Note 76 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion orof our investment in BOMAY.
Changes in U.S. trade policy including tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Escalating tariffs and the potential for additional trade restrictions by the United States have increased uncertainty regarding future economic conditions and financial markets and have, in some cases, resulted in the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign governments. Although the United States Supreme Court has ruled that certain tariffs imposed by the current presidential administration exceed presidential authority, the ultimate impact of U.S. tariffs and retaliatory trade measures on economic conditions remains uncertain. The Company sources all of its natural gas used as feedstock in its liquefaction facilities and purchases most of its LNG acquired from third parties from U.S. sources. Deliveries of LNG within Mexico can be sourced from both U.S. and from third parties within Mexico. While the majority of our sales are domestic, and LNG trade between the U.S. and Mexico is not currently subject to tariffs; such tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global economies which could reduce demand for LNG and our services or increase our operating costs. Although the extent of any such impact is uncertain, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The impact of potential tariffs proposed by the Trump administration is uncertain.
The Trump administration has proposed tariffs on goods imported from other countries including Mexico. The extent, duration and impact of such tariffs are uncertain at this time. It is also possible that tariffs imposed by the U.S. on foreign imports may potentially be reciprocated with tariffs imposed by other countries on exports of U.S. goods and services into that country. The Company sources all of its natural gas used as feedstock in its liquefaction facilities and purchases most of its LNG acquired from third parties from U.S. sources. Deliveries of LNG within Mexico can be sourced from both U.S. and from third parties within Mexico; however, increased tariffs could also limit foreign opportunities and decrease economic viability of sources of natural gas as well as have more general economic impacts of increasing costs, weakening demand and inflation.

Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries is an energy transition company that providesprovide turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions primarily using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to multiple end markets. We have safely delivered over 580 million gallons of LNG through more than 60,000 truck deliveries during our 22 year operating history, which we believe makes us one of the largest and most experienced small-scale LNG providers in North America. We provide LNG solutions to customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, energy, industrial, marine bunkering, mining, oil and gas, pipeline, remote power and utility markets. LNG can be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is unavailable, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. LNG can also be used to replace a variety of fuels, including distillate fuel oil, such as diesel and marine gas oil, and propane, among others, to provide environmental and economic benefits. LNG can also be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is unavailable, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. Increasingly, LNG is being utilized as a transportation fuel in the marine industry and as a propellant in the private rocket launch sector. Additionally, LNG can be used to generate electrical power for data centers where the data center either does not have adequate access to the electrical grid, a gas pipeline, or as a redundant source of power. We believe that these fuel markets are large and provide significant opportunities for LNG usage. We believe that LNG provides an important balance between environmental sustainability, security and accessibility, and economic viability when compared to both renewables and other traditional hydrocarbon-based fuels and will play a key role in the energy transition.
The Company also builds power and control systems for the energy industry in China through its 40% owned Chinese joint venture, BOMAY. BOMAY is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
LNG Production and Sales—Stabilis builds and operates cryogenic natural gas processing facilities, called “liquefiers,” which convert natural gas into LNG through a purification and multiple stage cooling process. We currently own and operate a liquefier that can produce up to 100,000 LNG gallons per day in George West, Texas and a liquefier that can produce up to 30,000 LNG gallons per day in Port Allen, Louisiana. The Company continues to seek expansion of its own liquefaction capacity as described in "Current Events and Expansion Efforts" below. We also purchase LNG from third-party production sources which allows us to support customers in markets where we do not own liquefiers. We make the determination of LNG and transportation supply sources based on the cost of LNG, the transportation cost to deliver to regional customer locations, and the reliability of the supply source. Revenues earned from the production and sales of LNG are included within LNG Product revenue.
Transportation and Logistics Services—Stabilis offers our customers a “virtual natural gas pipeline” by providing turnkey LNG transportation and logistics services in North America. We deliver LNG to our customers’ work sites from both our own production facilities and our network of approximately 31 third-party production sources located throughout North America. We own a fleet of cryogenic trailers to transport and deliver LNG. We also outsource similar equipment and transportation services for LNG from qualified third-party providers as required to support our customer base. Revenues earned from the transportation and logistical services of LNG to our customers are included within LNG Product revenue.
Cryogenic Equipment Rental—Stabilis operates a fleet of over 170 mobile LNG storage and vaporization assets, including: transportation trailers, electric and gas-fired vaporizers, ambient vaporizers, storage tanks, and mobile vehicle fuelers. We also own several stationary storage and regasification assets. We believe this is one of the largest fleets of small-scale LNG equipment in North America. Our fleet consists primarily of trailer-mounted mobile assets, making delivery to and between customer locations more efficient. We deploy these assets on job sites to provide our customers with the equipment required to transport, store, and consume LNG in their operations. Revenues earned from cryogenic equipment rental are included within Rental revenue.
Current Events and Expansion Efforts
Conclusion of Two, Multi-year LNG Supply Contracts
During the fourth quarter of 2025, two multi-year customer contracts concluded in accordance with their terms. The completed contracts were for temporary remote power in Louisiana, and the Company’s truck-to-vessel LNG marine bunkering services in Galveston, Texas. The marine customer elected not to extend the agreement due to the unavailability of suitable Jones Act-compliant LNG bunker vessels during the contemplated extension period. The two contracts accounted for approximately 19% and 32% of 2025 revenues, respectively.
Proposed Galveston LNG Liquefaction Facility
In 2025, the Company executed two, ten-year LNG supply bunkering agreements, commencing in 2027, with two global marine cruise vessel operators to supply LNG and to anchor development of a new 350,000 gallon-per-day, waterfront LNG liquefaction facility in Galveston, Texas. There are conditions precedent to the LNG supply bunkering agreements which include the Company successfully finalizing project financing by the first quarter 2026 and completing construction on the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility by the second quarter 2028. The Company continues to advance its proposed Galveston liquefaction facility, along with a Jones Act-compliant LNG bunkering vessel, toward an expected Final Investment Decision (“FID”). The Company has secured customer commitments for approximately 56% of the project’s proposed planned 350,000 gallons-per-day (“gpd”) capacity and is engaged in late-stage discussions with multiple potential customers to secure the remaining available offtake. The total capital required for the project is estimated at $350 million to $400 million. Financing for the project is progressing with counterparties conducting detailed due diligence and active negotiations on definitive documentation and key commercial terms. If successful, the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility is expected to be strategically located to continue to support and expand the Company's marine bunkering services to additional marine markets. With the construction of the facility, the Company also plans to commission a dedicated Jones Act-compliant LNG bunkering vessel to serve the Port of Galveston, Port of Houston and surrounding Gulf Coast markets. This vessel will transport LNG from the facility directly to customer vessels. Together, the new LNG facility and new bunkering vessel are expected to create a fully integrated, last-mile LNG delivery solution for customers.
During the fourth quarter 2025, the Company entered into a time charter agreement with Seaspan Energy Ltd. for the Garibaldi for a period of two years commencing in 2026. The Company has the option to extend the term of the time charter for an additional one year and an option to purchase the Garibaldi during the term of the time charter.
Multi-year On-site Power Generation for a Data Center
In February 2026, the Company executed a multi-year take-or-pay contract to supply LNG for behind-the-meter power generation for a provider of remote and temporary power generation at a data center. LNG deliveries are expected to commence during the first quarter of 2027 and continue through the first quarter of 2029. Total revenue under the initial term of the contract is estimated to approximately $200 million. This contract represents the Company’s first-ever contract in support of data center behind-the-meter power generation, consistent with its strategic focus on growing, high-value vertical markets.
In the third quarter of 2022, Stabilis received authorization from the DOE to export domestically produced LNG to all free trade ("FTA") and non-free trade ("non-FTA") countries, for up to 51.75 billion cubic feet per year (or approximately 1.0 MTPA) of natural gas equivalent. The authorization is for shipments of LNG and is for a term of 28 years with a remaining term of approximately 2625 years under this authorization. AsIn the third quarter of
December 31, 2024, the Company has met the initial time requirement to initiate exports to non-FTA countries. In 2024, we delivered LNG to Europe under this authorization. For exports to FTA countries, the Company has five years from the date it received the authorization with which to initiate exportation of LNG.
The DOE authorization received during the third quarter of 2022 supplements the Company's other existing import and export license from the DOE,DOE. whichUnder authorizesthis license, the Company is authorized to import and export LNG from and to Canada and Mexico, via truck. InAdditionally, effective September 2024, wethe deliveredCompany can import LNG, by vessel, from various international sources to any LNG toimport Mexicoterminal underin thisthe authorization.United States.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company maintains a three-year revolving credit facility with Cadence Bank for a maximum aggregate amount of $10 million, which expires in June 2026. The Company may request an increase in the maximum aggregate amount by up to $5 million, subject to the approval by Cadence Bank. All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by the Company's accounts receivable and deposit accounts, subject to a borrowing base of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The revolving credit facility provides additional sources of liquidity, if needed, to fund additional capital expenditures and/or bridge short-term liquidity needs for new contracts. See also Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our revolving credit facility.
Acquisition of Additional Liquefaction Assets
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company acquired the key components of a 100,000 LNG gallon per day liquefaction train for $6.0 million. During 2024, the Company installed four storage tanks acquired in this transaction at its liquefaction facility in George West, Texas. The Company is currently evaluating the best alternatives for installation of the remaining assets into its operations.
Customer Contracts within our New and Expanding Markets for LNG
The Company expects that LNG demand for marine fuel will increase as marine vessels that use LNG as the primary fuel of choice are delivered to vessel fleets and commence routine operations. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a marine bunkering contract with a cruise industry customer to deliver an estimated 22 million gallons of LNG per year. Additionally, the Company expects that LNG demand will increase to support anticipated increased commercial rocket launch activity. Stabilis is positioned to remain a key supplier of LNG as propellant and has contracts to supply high-purity propellant to two commercial space exploration companies.
Customer Contracts – Supporting Energy Grid Resiliency
The Company continues to provide LNG for peak load, intermittent, and emergency relief power across multiple industries. During 2024, the Company secured the extension of its LNG supply agreement with a leading global provider of on-demand industrial power solutions to provide turnkey production and last mile delivery of up to 9.5 million gallons of LNG to generate roughly 23 megawatt-hours of grid resiliency power in support of communities along the Gulf Coast through May 2025.
Management Transition
Effective January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a release and consulting agreement with Westervelt T. Ballard, Jr. (formerly the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer) pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Ballard mutually agreed to terminate his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Ballard transitioned to a consultant of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Ballard voluntarily resigned as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Concurrent with Mr. Ballard's departure, the Company appointed the Company’s Chairman of the Board, J. Casey Crenshaw, as its Executive Chairman, and interim President and Chief Executive Officer. See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 17 - Subsequent Events, for additional discussion related to Mr. Ballard's departure and Mr. Crenshaw's expanded role.
During the Current Year revenues increaseddecreased $0.2$5.0 million, or 0.2%,6.9%, compared to the Prior Year. The increasedecrease in revenues primarily related to:
Change in unrealized loss (gain) on natural gas derivatives. The Company incurred a gain of $0.3$24 millionthousand on the change in unrealized lossesgain associated with the Company's natural gas derivatives in the Current Year compared to a gain of $0.5$0.3 million in the Prior Year. The gains in both periods were due to offsetting amortization of realized losses as call option volumes expired unexercised. See Note 4 inand the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussionmaturity of ournatural gas derivatives.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreasedincreased $1.1$1.4 million, or 8.8%,12.1%, during the Current Year as compared to the Prior YearYear. The increase is primarily dueattributable to decreasedMr. incentiveBallard's compensationseverance related expenses of $2.1 million and personnelhigher costs,office includinglease cost in the Current Year, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.
Loss (gain) on the disposal of fixed assets. The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of fixed assets of $24 thousand in the Current Year primarily related to an asset disposition, partially offset by a gain from the disposition of a damaged trailer. Proceeds of $0.2 million were received on the disposition of the damaged trailer. In the Prior Year, a gain of $0.8 million on the disposal of assets was recorded, in which proceeds of $0.8 million were received on the sale of certain assets, consisting of vaporizers and storage tanks.
Gain on the disposal of fixed assets. The Company recorded a gain on the disposal of fixed assets of $0.8 million in the Current Year from the sale of various assets which included vaporizers and storage tanks primarily to customers on their sites. Gain on the disposal of fixed assets of $1.2 million was recognized in the Prior Year related to proceeds received on an insurance settlement pertaining to certain assets damaged in a fire in June of 2023 and from a settlement received for a damaged trailer.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense in the Current Year decreasedincreased $0.7$0.2 million compared to the Prior Year primarily due to new mobile assets and other capital expenditures in the Current Year. The increase was partially offset by other assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.
Net Equity Income From Foreign Joint Ventures' Operations. Income from investments in foreign joint ventures decreased by $0.1$0.3 million, or 7.5%,20.6%, in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year primarily due to lower earningsnet inprofits China.from our China joint venture.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest income, net was $42 thousand in the Current Year compared to $0.1 million the Prior Year. In both periods, interest income related to interest earned on the Company's cash balance. Interest income was slightly lower in the Current Year due to lower cash balances in the Current Year and a lower average interest rate on cash balances in the Current Year.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest expense, net decreased by $0.4 million in the Current Year primarily due to the Company's interest income on its cash balances and capitalized interest in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year. Additionally, lower debt service was incurred on lower debt balances in the Current Year.
Interest expense, net - related parties. Related party interest expense decreased $0.1 million during the Current Year as compared to the Prior Year due to the pay off of the debt owed to MG Finance Co., Ltd. ("MG Finance"), a related party, in December of the Prior Year.
Other income (expense). OtherChange in other expense was lower in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year,primarily related to miscellaneous and foreign exchange transactions.
Income tax expense. The Company incurred state and foreign income tax expense of $0.5$0.1 million during the Current Year primarily related to state income taxes owed from operating income and foreign taxes paid in connection with the cash dividend received from our BOMAY joint venture. The Company incurred state income and foreign tax expense of $0.2$0.5 million in the Prior Year. No U.S. federal income tax expense was recorded for the Current Year or Prior Year as the Company had sufficient deferred tax assets to offset any U.S. federal taxes which were fully offset by a change in the Company's valuation allowance on utilized deferred tax assets.
Historically,The ourCompany's principal sources of liquidity in the Current Year have consisted of cash provided by our operations, cash on hand, proceeds received from borrowings under the AmeriState Loan described below and distributions from our BOMAY joint venture. In prior years, the Company also obtained debt financing from MG Finance, a related party, which was paid in full as of December 31, 2023. During 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash provided from our operations, our existing cash balances and distributions from our BOMAY joint venture. The Company used cashits flows generated from operationsliquidity to invest in fixed assets and increased working capital to support growth as well as to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our debt agreements.
On JuneMarch 9,27, 2023,2025 the Company, along with its subsidiaries, Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford LLC, Stabilis GDS, Inc. and Stabilis LNG Port Allen, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a three-yearModification loanAgreement agreementto (the “Revolvingexisting CreditLoan Facility”)Agreement with Cadence Bank. TheUnder the Agreement the $10.0 million Revolving Credit Facility providesmaturity fordate was extended to June 9, 2028. Additionally, the Agreement amended the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio terms primarily related to the inclusion of excess cash. The three-year Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, contains a maximum aggregate amount of $10.0 million, subject to a borrowing base of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The Company may request an increase in the maximum aggregate amount under the Revolving Credit Facility by up to $5.0 million, subject to the approval of Cadence Bank. All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and deposit accounts. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility incur interest at the Prime Rate published by the Wall Street Journal. Any unused portion is subject to a quarterly unused commitment fee of 0.5% per annum. As of December 31, 2024,2025, no amounts have been drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 9, 2026. The Revolving Credit Facility contains various restrictions and covenants. As of December 31, 2024,2025, the Company was in compliance with all its covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had $9.0$7.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand and $9.3$8.8 million in outstanding debt (net of debt issuance costs) and lease obligations (of which $2.4$2.3 million is due in 20252026). The Company has total availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and the AmeriState Secured Term Loan Facility of $4.3$2.7 million at December 31, 2024.2025. TheFurther, the Company had made no draw downs on theits Revolving Credit Facility or Secured Term Loan facility during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company has also filed a shelf registration statement (described below) which provides the Company the flexibility to raise capital to fund working capital requirements, repay debt and/or fund future transactions.2025.
The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the LNG industry and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. Management believes the business will generate sufficient cash flows from its operations along with availability under the Company's debt agreements to fund theits ongoing business for the next twelve months. AsWhile we continuebelieve we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to grow,fund managementour continuesongoing operations and repay our debt, we will require additional capital to evaluatefund our expansion. Our current expansion efforts include the construction of the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility and ramp up of operations to service our multi-year on-site power generation customer at a data center beginning in 2027 which will require construction expenditures, additional financingequipment alternatives,and however,rolling therestock isand nonear-term guaranteeworking thatcapital additionalas financingthe willCompany beramps availableup orits availableoperations atduring terms that would be beneficial to shareholders.2026.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its debt agreements, including its minimum consolidated debt service ratio under its AmeriSate Secured Term Loan Facility. The Company’s efforts to expand its business include anticipated significant capital expenditures, the successful deployment of a marine bunkering vessel with a time charter that commences in 2026, and a successful financing transaction associated with the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility, all of which are yet to occur. The Company believes it is probable that it will continue to maintain compliance with its covenants, however, in the event the Company is unable to maintain minimum profitability in accordance with its forecast and historical trends, it is reasonably possible that the Company could fail to maintain compliance with its consolidated debt service ratio which, if not cured or waived, would give AmeriState Bank the right to accelerate repayment of outstanding borrowings under the AmeriState Secured Term Loan Facility, which totaled $7.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Such acceleration could adversely effect our liquidity, our ability to continue expansion efforts and continue normal operations.
We will continue to monitor covenant compliance closely and evaluate additional actions which may include reducing discretionary capital expenditures, delaying certain growth initiatives, or seeking alternative sources of financing if needed. The Company believes that its relations with its lenders are good and that a waiver could be obtained in the event a violation occurred; however, there can be no assurance that additional actions taken by the Company, if required, could prevent a possible covenant violation or that the Company would be successful in obtaining a covenant waiver in the event a covenant violation occurred.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $13.7$8.6 million and $6.7$13.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. The increasedecrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $7.0$5.1 million as compared to the Prior Year was primarily attributable to the increasenet loss incurred in netthe income,Current improved collections and reduced payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilitiesYear compared to net income recognized in the Prior Year.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $8.1$7.7 million and $8.9$8.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. In both the Current Year and the Prior Year, cash used in investing was primarily for investment in growth initiatives. During the Current Year, investments primarily consisted of expansion efforts related to the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility and Jones Act-compliant marine bunkering vessel. In the Prior Year, investments were made for the acquisition of liquefaction assets and their subsequent deployment. During the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, proceeds received from the disposal of assets were $0.8$0.2 million and $1.3$0.8 million, respectively.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $1.9$2.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 20242025 compared to $3.9$1.9 million for 2023.2024. Cash used in financing activities in both years was primarily attributable to the repayment of debt. The decreaseincrease in cash used by financing activities compared to the Prior Year is primarily due to aincreased securedprincipal promissorypayments noteon tothe MGAmeriState Finance that was paid in fullloan in the Current Year compared to Prior Year. No draws on the AmeriState Bank or Revolving Credit Facility were made in the Current Year.
Shelf Registration Statement
On April 11, 2022, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Shelf Registration") which was declared effective on April 26, 2022 and will permit the Company to issue up to $100.0 million in either common stock, preferred stock, warrants or a combination of the above, and gives the Company the flexibility to raise capital to fund working capital requirements, repay debt and/or fund future transactions. On December 16, 2022, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration that allows the Company to sell and issue shares of common stock directly to the public "at the market" as permitted in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. As a smaller reporting company, we are subject to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which limits the amounts that we may sell under the Shelf Registration to no more than one-third of our public float in any twelve month period as measured in accordance with such instruction. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise capital pursuant to the Shelf Registration on acceptable terms or at all. We made no issuances under the Shelf Registration during the year ended December 31, 2024. The current Shelf Registration expires April 25, 2025.
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including costs associated with fuel sales, capital expenditures, debt repayments, equipment purchases, maintenance of LNG production facilities, mergers and acquisitions (if any), pursuing market expansion, supporting sales and marketing activities and other general corporate purposes.

We may elect to pursue additional financing activities such as refinancing existing debt, obtaining new debt, or debt or equity offerings to provide flexibility with our cash management. Certain of these alternatives may require the consent of current lenders or stockholders, and there is no assurance that we will be able to execute any of these alternatives on acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, the Company may pursue additional expansion activities to increase its liquefaction capabilities. Such an effort, if pursued, would require additional liquidity from other sources either from the sales of debt or equity securities, additional capital investment from new owners or joint venture partners, or any combination of the above. The Company has made no expansion commitments to date. In the event, the Company does pursue expansion in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional liquidity on favorable terms or at all.
Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $8.1 million and primarily related to the preliminary work and ordering long lead time items related to the Company's proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility, refurbishments and upgrades to existing assets and rolling stock. Other future capital expenditures will be dependent upon business needs, value-adding investment opportunities, as well as the availability of additional capital at favorable terms which is difficult to predict. At December 31, 2025, the Company had open purchase orders and commitments related to capital expenditures of approximately $3.8 million. However, the Company anticipates future additional expenditures related to its proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility and Jones Act-compliant marine bunkering vessel and its multi-year on-site power generation contract for a data center. See additional discussion regarding the Company's potential expansion efforts below.
Proposed Galveston LNG Liquefaction Facility
The Company continues to advance its proposed Galveston liquefaction facility along with a Jones Act-compliant LNG bunkering vessel toward an expected FID. The Company has secured customer commitments for approximately 56% of the project’s proposed 350,000 gallons-per-day capacity and is engaged in late-stage discussions with multiple potential customers to secure the remaining available offtake.
Additional investment in the Company’s proposed Galveston liquefaction facility is estimated at $350 million to $400 million. The financing and structure of the proposed Galveston liquefaction facility is anticipated to be in the form of a separate entity with a combination of third-party equity and debt that would be nonrecourse to the Company. The financing is progressing with counterparties conducting detailed due diligence and active negotiations on definitive documentation and key commercial terms. The Company does not intend to commit to the use of significant additional funds related to the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility without securing the financing. However, there is no guarantee that additional financing will be available or available at terms that would be beneficial to the Company.
The Company entered into a time charter agreement for the time charter of a liquefied natural gas bunkering vessel, the Garibaldi, for a period of two years commencing in 2026. The time charter represents an operating lease and includes an option to lease the vessel for an additional year and/or purchase the Garibaldi at the conclusion of the initial or extended term.
Multi-year, On-site Power Generation for a Data Center
In February 2026, the Company executed a multi-year take-or-pay contract to supply LNG for a power generation behind-the-meter remote and temporary power generation and energy services at a data center. LNG deliveries are expected to commence during the first quarter of 2027 and continue through the first quarter of 2029. Total revenue under the initial term of the contract is estimated to be approximately $200 million. This contract represents the Company’s first contract in support of data center behind-the-meter power generation, consistent with its strategic focus on growing, high-value vertical markets. The supply agreement will require investment of approximately $25.0 million in capital additions and near term working capital needed to fund the start-up of the project which will be funded by customer prepayments. The Company received a prepayment of $15.0 million during February 2026, and expects an additional $10.0 million during the next six months. The prepayment received is restricted as to use for equipment, commissioning and working capital requirements for this project; however the Company will not be required to repay any of the prepayment at conclusion of the contract.
Future capital expenditures will be dependent upon value-adding investment opportunities as well as the availability of additional capital at favorable terms which is difficult to predict. At December 31, 2024, we had open purchase orders with approximately $1.0 million related to capital expenditures.
LNG Product revenues represent the sale of LNG from both produced and purchased sources as well as the transportation performed to deliver the LNG to our customer location. LNG Product revenues are recognized upon delivery of the LNG to the customer, at which point the customer controls the product and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company acts as a principal when using third party transportation companies and therefore recognizes the gross revenue for the supply of LNG. The Company does not differentiate between the revenue from the sale of LNG production and purchased LNG as the criteria for revenue recognition are identical. Some of our contracts contain minimum take-or-pay amounts where a customer has agreed to source a minimum volume of LNG under the contract. Take or pay revenues are only recognized when the customer has failed to take the minimum contracted volumes upon completion of the time period specified within the contract and the Company has the unconditional right to receive payment for the take or pay amount. LNG product sales agreements may include both fixed and variable fees per gallon, but is representative of the stand-alone selling price for LNG at the time the contract was negotiated. We have concluded that the variable LNG fees meet the exception for allocating variable consideration to specific parts of the contract. As such, the variable consideration for these contracts is allocated to each distinct moleculegallon of LNG and recognized when that distinct moleculegallon of LNG is delivered to the customer. Certain of our sales contracts contain provisions that may meet the criteria of a derivative in the event delivery is not made. These contracts are accounted for under the normal purchase normal sales exclusion under U.S. GAAP and are not measured at fair value each reporting period. Our LNG contracts are generally one to 24 months in duration.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, and intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets carrying value may not be recoverable. We currently test goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter unless we determine that a triggering event has occurred requiring an earlier test. We completed our annual assessment of goodwill during 20242025 and 2023,2024, and determined no additional impairment of goodwill was warranted.
The Company had certain natural gas derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as a hedge and the type of hedge. The Company did not hold any natural gas derivatives at December 31, 2025; however did have natural gas derivatives at December 31, 2024 and for portions of the year for both 2025 and 2024. The Company has not designated its derivative instruments as hedges under U.S. GAAP and all resulting gains and losses from changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments are included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determined the fair value of its natural gas derivatives at December 31, 2024 predominantly from broker quotes and are considered a level 2 fair value measurement. The Company did not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

LNG Production and Sales—Stabilis builds and operates cryogenic natural gas processing facilities, called “liquefiers,” which convert natural gas into LNG through a purification and multiple stage cooling process. We currently own and operate a liquefier that can produce up to 100,000 LNG gallons per day in George West, Texas and a liquefier that can produce up to 30,000 LNG gallons per day in Port Allen, Louisiana. The Company continues to seek expansion of its own liquefaction capacity as described in "Expanding Markets and Expansion Efforts" below. We also purchase LNG from third-party production sources which allows us to support customers in markets where we do not own liquefiers. We make the determination of LNG supply sources based on the cost of LNG, the transportation cost to deliver to regional customer locations, and the reliability of the supply source. Revenues earned from the production and sales of LNG are included within LNG Productproduct revenue.
In February 2026, the Company executedwas awarded a multi-year take-or-pay contract to supply LNG for behind-the-meter power generation for a world-leading provider of remote and temporary power generation at a data center. LNG deliveries are expected to commence during the first quarter of 2027 and continue through the first quarter of 2029. Total revenue under the initial multi-year term of the contract is estimated to be approximately $200 million. This contract represents the Company’s first contract in support of data center behind-the-meter power generation, consistent with the Company's strategic focus on growing, high-value vertical markets. The Company will receive $25.0 million in advance payments from the customer; of which, $15.0$20.0 million has been received toat date.June 30, 2026 and an additional $5.0 million advance payment was received in the third quarter of 2026. Advance payments will offset a percentage of each future invoice over the term of the contract, until fully offset, at which time the credit will cease. The Company may utilize the advance payments for the purchase of equipment, securing LNG supply and commissioning expenses incurred by the Company specific to the customer project. The portion of the $15.0$20.0 million that has not been utilized related to the customer project has been classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. The full amount of the advance payment has been presented as deferred revenue on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. See additional discussion in Note 1 and Note 6 of the Company’sNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On July 9, 2026, the Company signed a contract commencing in the third quarter of 2026 to fuel temporary power generation at a data center that is anticipated to replace a significant portion of lost volumes from prior periods. This contract represents the second contract in support of power generation at a data center.
Termination of Leased LNG Bunkering Vessel
The Company entered into a time charter agreement for the lease of a liquefied natural gas bunkering vessel, (the "Garibaldi"), during the first quarter of 2026 in anticipation of a customer contract which did not materialize. The Company was successful in obtaining rent deferrals and a sublease of the Garibaldi on a month-to month basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. On June 11, 2026, the Company and the owners of the Garibaldi entered into a termination option granting the owners an option to terminate the time charter. On June 24, 2026, the owners exercised that option, and the time charter was terminated. In connection with the termination, the Company incurred a loss on lease cancellation of $1.3 million which is included in "Time charter expense" on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The loss on lease cancellation includes an early termination fee of $0.8 million, payable January 1, 2027 and write-off of the remaining balance of the ROU asset of $0.6 million after derecognizing the Company's ROU asset equal to the cancellation of $18.4 million of lease obligations. The Company also expensed $1.1 million of deferred rent and operating costs for the Garibaldi payable during the third quarter of 2026. At June 30, 2026, the Company no longer has any ROU asset related to the Garibaldi and the remaining payments and termination fee totaling $1.9 million are included in accounts payable on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2026. See also Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the time charter termination of the Garibaldi. The Company does not expect future costs as a result of the termination.
The Company entered into a time charter agreement for the lease of a liquefied natural gas bunkering vessel, the Seaspan Garibaldi (the "Garibaldi"), for a period of two years. The time charter is classified as an operating lease and includes an option to lease the vessel for an additional year. The Company is pursuing plans to maximize utilization of the Garibaldi including subchartering the vessel.
U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") Approval to Export LNG
In the third quarter of 2022, Stabilis received authorization from the DOE to export domestically produced LNG to all free trade ("FTA") and non-free trade ("non-FTA") countries, for up to 51.75 billion cubic feet per year (or approximately 1.0 MTPA) of natural gas equivalent. The authorization is for shipments of LNG and is for a term of 28 years with a remaining term of approximately 25 years under this authorization. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company met the initial time requirement to initiate exports to non-FTA countries. As of March 31, 2026, we have delivered LNG to Europe under this authorization. For exports to FTA countries, the Company has five years from the date it received the authorization with which to initiate exportation of LNG.
The DOE authorization received during the third quarter of 2022 supplements the Company's other existing import and export license from the DOE. Under this license, the Company is authorized to import and export LNG from and to Canada and Mexico, via truck. Additionally, effective September 2024, the Company can import LNG, by vessel, from various international sources to any LNG import terminal in the United States.
Recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East, including the U.S. conflict with Iran, may contribute to an increase in energy related costs and related market uncertainties. The Company's customer pricing structure for natural gas is primarily based off a monthly index and may absorb most, if not all, of potential volatilitiesvolatility associated with the price of natural gas; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be adversely impacted by resulting energy cost and market uncertainties resulting from the Iran conflict. The Company continues to monitor the developments.
Three Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025
During the fourth quarter of 2025, two multi-year customer contracts concluded in accordance with their terms. The completed contracts were for temporary remote power in Louisiana, and the Company’s truck-to-vessel LNG marine bunkering services in Galveston, Texas. The two contracts accounted for approximately 19% and 32% of 2025 revenues, respectively. As a result, the firstsecond quarter of 2026 results were lower for the period. The comparative tables below reflect our consolidated operating results for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 (the “Current Quarter”) as compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 (the “Prior Year Quarter”) (unaudited, amounts in thousands, except for percentages).
These decreases were partially offset by increased revenues of $0.4$0.1 million related to: higher average pricing from a favorable customer mix in the Current Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
Time charter expense. The Company recognized time charter expense and cancellation charges of $2.9 million in the Current Quarter related to the time charter of the Garibaldi which was terminated on June 24, 2026. See also Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
During the the fourth quarter of 2025, two multi-year customer contracts concluded in accordance with their terms. The completed contracts were for temporary remote power in Louisiana, and the Company’s truck-to-vessel LNG marine bunkering services in Galveston, Texas. The two contracts accounted for approximately 19% and 32% of 2025 revenues, respectively. As a result, the first six months ended June 30, 2026 results were lower for the period. Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the Company presents time charter expense as a separate line item on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has reclassified $1.5 million of time charter expense previously reported within cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 to conform to current presentation for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company previously disclosed cost of revenues as 96% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are now 82% of revenues with this reclassification. The reclassification had no effect on total costs and expenses, operating loss, net loss, financial condition, or net cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities for any period presented.
The comparative tables below reflect our consolidated operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (the “Current Year”) as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 (the “Prior Year”) (unaudited, amounts in thousands, except for percentages).
Revenue
During the Current Year, revenues decreased $12.4 million, or 36%, compared to the Prior Year. The change in revenue primarily related to:

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its debt agreements. The Company’s efforts to expand its business include anticipated significant capital expenditures, the successful deployment of a marine bunkering vessel with a time charter,expenditures and a successful financing transaction associated with the proposed Galveston LNG liquefaction facility, all of which are yet to occur. The Company believes it is probable that it will continue to maintain compliance with its covenants, however, in the event the Company is unable to maintain minimum profitability in accordance with its forecast and historical trends, it is reasonably possible that the Company could fail to maintain compliance with its consolidated debt service ratio which, if not cured or waived, would give AmeriState Bank the right to accelerate repayment of outstanding borrowings under the AmeriState Secured Term Loan Facility, which totaled $6.9$7.6 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Such acceleration could adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to continue expansion efforts and continue normal operations.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations and repay our debt.
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including costs associated with gas purchases, capital expenditures, debt repayments, equipment purchases, maintenance of LNG production facilities, mergers and acquisitions (if any), pursuing market expansion, supporting sales and marketing activities and other general corporate purposes.

On June 24, 2026, the time charter of the Garibaldi was terminated. The Company owes a termination fee of $0.8 million payable January 1, 2027, as well as payment of $1.1 million of previously deferred rent and operating costs during the third quarter of 2026: however the termination of the lease significantly alleviates future cash requirements. See also Note 7 within the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information regarding the termination of the time charter. The Company does not expect future costs as a result of the termination.
Capital expenditures for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were $5.3$7.6 million and primarily related to the preliminary work and ordering of long lead time items, related to the Company's proposed new Galveston LNG liquefaction facility and Jones Act-compliant marine bunkering vessel, and its multi-year data center power generation contract. Capital expenditures also related to refurbishments and upgrades to existing assets and rolling stock. Other future capital expenditures will be dependent upon business needs, value-adding investment opportunities, as well as the availability of additional capital at favorable terms which is difficult to predict. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had open purchase orders and commitments related to capital expenditures of approximately $3.7$7.0 million and the Company continues to advance the proposed new Galveston LNG liquefaction facility and Jones Act-compliant marine bunkering vessel, and scale for its multi-year data center power generation contract.

Leased Bunkering Vessel
The Company entered into a time charter agreement for the lease of a liquefied natural gas bunkering vessel, the Seaspan Garibaldi, for a period of two years commencing in 2026.
