New Fortress Energy Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NFE) ("NFE" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $(4) million in the second quarter of 2025
• Net loss of $557 million in the second quarter of 2025
  • Significant non-cash impairments of assets and goodwill totaling $699 million
  • Gain on sale of our Jamaican operations of $473 million
• EPS of $(2.02) on a fully diluted basis in the second quarter of 2025
• Total cash balance of $821 million, of which $551 million is unrestricted as of June 30, 2025

We believe there are a number of substantial commercial opportunities to improve our results of operations and liquidity position by the end of 2025, including:

• We continue to negotiate a long-term gas sale agreement ("GSA") with PREPA to provide gas island-wide in Puerto Rico. During these negotiations we are extending the current island-wide GSA on a weekly basis as we work towards a long-term agreement that is in the best interests of both parties and achieves our mutual goal of sustained, efficient, and economical power generation for the people of Puerto Rico.
• We continue to be in active dialogue with FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers on our Request for an Equitable Adjustment related to the temporary power solution in Puerto Rico and are increasingly confident the matter will be resolved by the end of this year.
• We have begun the commissioning of our 624 MW CELBA plant, and we expect the power plant to be operational⁽³⁾ before the end of the year.
• We continue to optimize our shipping portfolio; we executed a 10 year charter for the Energos Eskimo with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company ("EGAS") in Q4 2024, and we have executed a 3 year charter for the Energos Freeze with Energia 2000 S.A. in Q2 2025. Furthermore, we executed a 5 year charter for the Energos Winter with EGAS in July.
• We are encouraged by a recent announcement in Brazil of an intention to hold power auctions on March 13, 2026. We think the ultimate size of the auction could be larger than initially expected, potentially as large as 15 GW. We believe our critical infrastructure assets, including our terminal in Santa Catarina, positions us well to either develop our own power projects or provide reliable service to others.

We expect our core earnings to increase as our developments in Brazil, Nicaragua and expansions in Puerto Rico, come online⁽³⁾, and we have the following positive developments across our business:

• We continue to make substantial progress on our PortoCem power plant in Brazil that is over 70% complete⁽³⁾. The project is on-time, on-budget and is fully funded with asset-level debt already in place.
• FLNG 1 performed at or above nameplate capacity for all of Q2.⁽⁴⁾

NFE has initiated a process to evaluate its strategic alternatives to improve its capital structure. It has retained Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. as financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as legal advisor to assist NFE in this evaluation. The Company, along with its advisors, is considering all options available, including asset sales, capital raising, debt amendments and refinancing transactions, and other strategic transactions that seek to provide additional liquidity and relief from acceleration under its debt agreements. As part of this process, NFE is engaging in discussions with various existing stakeholders and potential investors. There are inherent uncertainties as the outcome of these negotiations and potential transactions described above are outside management's control, and therefore there are no assurances that management will be successful in these negotiations and that any of these potential transactions will occur. In addition, there can be no assurances that these transactions will sufficiently improve the Company's liquidity or that the Company will otherwise realize the anticipated benefits.

Financial Detail

1) For a definition and reconciliation of "Adjusted EBITDA," a non-GAAP measure, see the exhibits to this press release.

2) "Total Segment Operating Margin" is the total of our Terminals and Infrastructure Segment Operating Margin and Ships Segment Operating Margin, each as reported in our financial statements. Our segment measure also excludes unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on derivative instruments, certain contract acquisition costs and deferred earnings from contracted sales for which a prepayment has been received.

3) "Completed", "Placed into service" "Online" or similar statuses (either capitalized or lower case) with respect to a particular project means we expect gas to be made available in the near future, gas has been made available to the relevant project, or that the relevant project is in full commercial operations. Where gas is going to be made available or has been made available but full commercial operations have not yet begun, full commercial operations will occur later than, and may occur substantially later than, our reported Operational, Completion or Deployment date, and we may not generate any revenue until full commercial operations have begun. We cannot assure you if or when such projects will reach full commercial operation. Our ability to export liquefied natural gas depends on our ability to obtain export and other permits from governmental and regulatory agencies. No assurance can be given that we will receive required permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies in connection with the exportation of liquefied natural gas on a timely basis or at all or that, once received, we will be able to maintain in full force and effect, renew or replace such permits, approvals and authorizations.

4) The FLNG 1 unit performed at or above name plate capacity for all of the second quarter excluding scheduled and planned maintenance periods during the quarter.

Exhibits – Financial Statements

Adjusted EBITDA

For the three months ended June 30, 2025

(Unaudited, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, offers a useful supplemental view of the overall operation of our business in evaluating the effectiveness of our ongoing operating performance in a manner that is consistent with metrics used for management's evaluation of our overall performance and to compensate employees. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization which vary substantially from company to company depending on capital structure, the method by which assets were acquired and depreciation policies. Further, we exclude certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus transaction and integration costs, contract termination charges and loss on mitigations sales, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment expense, loss on asset sales, interest expense, net, other (income) expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments and contingent consideration, tax expense, and adjusting for certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance, including non-cash share-based compensation and severance expense, non-capitalizable development expenses, cost to pursue new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure, certain non-capitalizable contract acquisition costs plus our pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from certain unconsolidated entities, less the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of certain unconsolidated entities.

Adjusted EBITDA is mathematically equivalent to our Total Segment Operating Margin, as reported in the segment disclosures within our financial statements, minus Core SG&A, including our pro rata share of such expenses of certain unconsolidated entities, minus deferred earnings for which a prepayment was received. Core SG&A is defined as total SG&A adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation and severance expense, non-capitalizable development expenses, cost of exploring new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure. Core SG&A excludes certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance.

The principal limitation of this non-GAAP measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to our GAAP net income, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning, and different companies may use different Adjusted EBITDA definitions. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Moreover, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be the same as those we use for purposes of establishing covenant compliance under our financing agreements or for other purposes. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to New Fortress Energy, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025:

Segment Operating Margin

(Unaudited, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Performance of our two segments, Terminals and Infrastructure and Ships, is evaluated based on Segment Operating Margin. Segment Operating Margin reconciles to Consolidated Segment Operating Margin as reflected below, which is a non-GAAP measure. We define Consolidated Segment Operating Margin as GAAP net income, adjusted for selling, general and administrative expense, transaction and integration costs, contract termination charges and loss on mitigation sales, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment expense, (gain) loss on sales, interest expense, other (income) expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, net, (income) loss from equity method investments and tax (benefit) provision. Consolidated Segment Operating Margin is mathematically equivalent to Revenue minus Cost of sales minus Operations and maintenance minus Vessel operating expenses, each as reported in our financial statements.
