HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / Stabilis Solutions, Inc., ("Stabilis" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SLNG), a leading provider of clean fueling, production, storage, and last mile delivery solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

31% year-over-year growth in aerospace revenues
Maintained development progress on the proposed Galveston LNG facility and dedicated Jones Act bunker barge while pursuing additional offtake to support FID
Revenues of $10.4 million; Net loss of ($4.1) million; Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.7) million
Cash flow from operations of $12.4 million, including $15.0 million of advance payments from customers
$13.7 million of cash (including $10.6 million restricted) and $3.5 million of availability under credit agreements as of March 31, 2026

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"First quarter results were expectedly soft following the completion of two long-term contracts late last year; however, our commercial progress during the quarter gives us further confidence in the earnings trajectory of the business," stated Casey Crenshaw, Executive Chairman and Interim President & Chief Executive Officer. "We are building momentum in our core markets and expect results to significantly improve during the second half of 2026 as we capitalize on strong demand for our small-scale LNG and delivery solutions."

"Demand remains robust in our aerospace and industrial markets, where we saw strong year-over-year growth in aerospace revenues in the first quarter," continued Crenshaw. "We are also finalizing several commercial opportunities, including additional behind-the-meter solutions for data centers that we expect to commence in the second quarter of this year. As we prepare for these and the ramp-up of our large data center contract in early 2027, we believe we are well positioned to serve this attractive market, which aligns closely with our LNG logistics, delivery and service capabilities."

"We believe that our Galveston LNG project will be among the lowest cost, and most shovel ready sources of LNG for Gulf Coast bunkering," concluded Crenshaw. "We remain committed to the project and are in active discussions with potential customers on additional offtake arrangements as we continue to advance the project. We continue to see substantial opportunities to create value with our existing asset base as we meet growing demand for small-scale LNG across a diverse set of end markets."

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.4 million, a decrease of 40.2% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to the completion of contracts in the marine and power generation sectors, partly offset by higher commodity prices and growth in aerospace and industrial sector volumes.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was ($4.1) million, or ($0.22) per diluted share, compared to a loss of ($1.6) million or ($0.09) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. When compared to the prior year period, net income reflects lower revenues, $1.5 million in vessel charter expenses associated with a marine vessel the Company is in the process of subchartering, partly offset by a $2.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash flow from operations was $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of last year, primarily reflecting $15.0 million in advance payments from a customer associated with a contract expected to begin in early 2027. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2026 was ($0.7) million, compared to $2.1 million, in the year ago quarter. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year is primarily attributable to the completion of two large multi-year contracts during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance and operating results of our business. EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest (includes interest income and interest expense), Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for certain special items that occur during the reporting period, as noted below. We include EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Accordingly, they should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements. Because the definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary among companies and industries, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands).
