Excelerate Energy Reports Record Full Year Results for 2025, Provides 2026 Outlook

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

adjusted net income financial

Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.

maintenance capex financial

Maintenance capex is the cash a company spends to repair, replace or upkeep existing physical assets—like machines, buildings, vehicles or IT—so the business can keep operating at current levels rather than grow. Investors watch it because higher maintenance costs reduce the cash a company can use for dividends, paying down debt or funding expansion; think of it like ongoing repairs on an older car that consume your budget and limit new purchases.

committed growth capital financial

Committed growth capital is money that investors have contractually pledged to provide a company or investment vehicle specifically to finance expansion activities such as hiring, product development, market entry, or capacity builds. It matters to investors because it reduces the risk that growth plans will be starved for cash, clarifies the timeline and scale of future funding (and potential dilution), and signals investor confidence—think of it like a guaranteed line of credit earmarked for a planned home renovation.

LNG Sale and Purchase Agreements financial

A liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale and purchase agreement is a contract where a seller commits to deliver a set quantity of LNG and a buyer commits to pay for it, often over months or years. Like a subscription or long-term supply deal for a household utility, it gives companies predictable revenue and costs, affecting cash flow, project financing and exposure to commodity price swings—key factors investors use to assess financial stability and risk.

MMscf/d technical

mmscf/d stands for million standard cubic feet per day and measures the volume of natural gas produced, transported, or consumed each day under standard temperature and pressure. Investors use it like a speedometer for gas operations — higher numbers mean more product to sell, greater revenue potential and insight into supply tightness, while drops can signal lower cash flow, capacity or demand issues.

revolving credit facility financial

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

Schedule 13G/A regulatory

A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.

(1) See the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure in the section titled "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" below.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 increased as compared to the prior year, primarily due to the contribution from the Jamaica acquisition and increased LNG, gas and power sales opportunities. The increase in net income was partially offset by higher interest expense associated with the Company’s 2030 Notes and transition and transaction costs incurred in connection with the Jamaica acquisition.

Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially from the third quarter primarily due to a full Atlantic basin cargo delivery in third quarter compared to a partial Atlantic basin cargo delivery in the fourth quarter, increased business development expense, timing of operating expenses, and modestly lower LNG, gas, and power direct margin in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa in the fourth quarter.

KEY COMMERCIAL UPDATES

In January 2026, Excelerate commenced LNG cargo deliveries into Bangladesh under its 15‑year LNG Sale and Purchase Agreements with QatarEnergy and Petrobangla. Together, these back-to-back agreements strengthen the reliability of Excelerate’s global LNG platform and support the continued expansion of the Company’s integrated LNG business.

In January 2026, Hull 3407, which is being constructed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea, completed its sea trials and is advancing through final commissioning activities, including gas trials and cryogenic testing, ahead of expected delivery in the second quarter. This construction milestone is an important next step as Excelerate continues to prepare the vessel for delivery and deployment to the integrated LNG import terminal in Iraq.

In October 2025, Excelerate executed a definitive commercial agreement with a subsidiary of Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity for the development of the country’s first LNG import terminal at the Port of Khor Al Zubair. The integrated project includes a five‑year agreement for regasification services and LNG supply with extension options, and a minimum contracted offtake of 250 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d). Engineering and procurement activities are underway and site mobilization has commenced. Commercial operations are on track to commence in the third quarter of 2026, subject to final permitting, construction timelines, and other contractual provisions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2025, Excelerate had $538.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and the Company had no letters of credit under its revolving credit facility. All of the $500 million of capacity under the revolving credit facility was available for borrowings as of December 31, 2025.

QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND UPDATE

On February 19, 2026, Excelerate’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend equal to $0.08 per share, or $0.32 per share on an annualized basis, of Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on March 26, 2026, to Class A common stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2026.

2026 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to range between $515 million and $545 million for the full year 2026. Maintenance Capex for 2026 is expected to range between $100 million and $110 million. Committed Growth Capital is expected to range between $370 million and $400 million. The full year committed growth capital range is largely comprised of costs related to the final payment for Hull 3407 and costs associated with the integrated terminal project in Iraq.

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.

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 GAAP. The non-GAAP measures as defined by Excelerate may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. 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 non-recurring 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 2026 Financial Outlook, in the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below.

Adjusted Gross Margin

The Company uses Adjusted Gross Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, which it defines as revenues less cost of LNG, gas and power and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, to measure its operational financial performance. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is useful because it provides insight into profitability and true operating performance excluding the implications of the historical cost basis of the Company’s assets.

Adjusted Net Income

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, which it defines as net income plus tax-effected transition and transaction expenses. Management believes Adjusted Net Income is useful because it provides insight into profitability excluding the impact of non-recurring charges related to the Jamaica acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure included as a supplemental disclosure because management believes it is a useful indicator of the Company’s operating performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion, 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.

The Company adjusts net income for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA 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 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. This measure has 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. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. For the foregoing reasons, Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations that affect its use as an indicator of the Company’s profitability and valuation.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share

The Company uses Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), a non-GAAP financial measure, which it defines as diluted EPS plus the per share impact of its tax-effected transition and transaction expenses. Management believes Adjusted EPS is useful because it provides insight on per share profitability excluding the impact of non-recurring charges related to the Jamaica acquisition.
