Stabilis Solutions Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results
Rhea-AI Summary

Aerospace revenue grew 71% year over year. Results were impacted by the roll-off of large 2025 marine and power generation contracts and $2.9 million of vessel charter expense tied to a marine charter that was terminated late in the quarter.
Operating cash flow was $7.1 million, including $5.0 million of customer advance payments toward a multi-year LNG power contract beginning in early 2027, contributing to $18.9 million of total available liquidity. The company executed a new behind-the-meter LNG power contract for a U.S. data center starting in Q3 2026 and is investing in infrastructure for a larger data center contract expected to start in Q1 2027. According to Stabilis Solutions, second-half 2026 revenue is expected to be over 50% higher than the first half, and 2027 revenue is expected to exceed $100 million.

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).
