Stabilis Solutions (NASDAQ: SLNG) posts Q2 2026 loss as revenue falls 31%
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. reported weak financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as revenue and earnings declined versus the prior year amid contract roll-offs and vessel charter costs. Second-quarter revenue was $11.9 million, down 31.2% from the same period in 2025, primarily due to completion of large marine and power generation contracts in late 2025, partly offset by growth in aerospace and industrial volumes.
The company recorded a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, versus a loss of $0.6 million, driven by lower revenue and $2.9 million of vessel time charter expense tied to a charter that has now been terminated. Despite the loss, cash flow from operations was $7.1 million, helped by $5.0 million in advance payments for a multi-year LNG contract expected to begin in early 2027, which also contributed to total deferred revenue of $20.0 million at June 30, 2026. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million, down from $1.5 million a year earlier.
Management describes 2026 as a transition year, citing demand recovery from first-quarter lows, 71% year-over-year revenue growth from aerospace customers, new data center LNG contracts, and expectations that second-half 2026 revenue will rise by over 50% versus the first half. For 2027, leadership expects full-year revenue to be well over $100 million, supported by a large U.S. data center LNG supply contract and ongoing LNG bunkering development on the Gulf Coast.

Negative
- Revenue fell 31.2% year over year in Q2 2026 to $11.9 million, reflecting the completion of large marine and power generation contracts.
- Quarterly net loss widened to $4.6 million (from $0.6 million), driven by lower revenue and $2.9 million of vessel charter expenses.
Filing Explained
As of June 30, 2026, reported cash and restricted cash were presented separately, while shares outstanding were unchanged.
Stabilis Solutions furnished second-quarter and first-half 2026 operating results through this Form 8-K, rather than filing the information for purposes of Section 18 liability or incorporating it into a registration statement. The balance sheet shows 18,596,301 common shares issued and outstanding at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, so the disclosure does not show a change in the reported share count.
Form 8-K reports specified material events, and this filing uses Items 2.02 and 7.01 for results and Regulation FD disclosure. The release's financial information is therefore presented as furnished disclosure, with the stated filing-status limitations.
The filing's balance-sheet presentation leaves the amount classified as restricted cash distinct from unrestricted cash; the disclosure does not state that the restricted amount is available for general use.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“Momentum is building across our business as we prepare for the early-2027 launch of our largest customer contract to date, a multi-year agreement to supply LNG for behind-the-meter power generation at a U.S. data center,” stated Casey Crenshaw, Executive Chairman and Interim President & Chief Executive Officer. “Our second-quarter results were in line with our expectations, and demand recovered from the first-quarter low, led by 71% year-over-year growth in revenues from aerospace customers.”
“We also made strong commercial progress during the quarter, including securing a six-month LNG supply agreement for commissioning of an additional U.S. data center, with service expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026,” continued Crenshaw. “Together with continued demand growth in aerospace, this contract gives us visibility to improving financial performance through the balance of 2026, with second-half revenues expected to increase by over 50% compared to the first half of the year. As we prepare for the launch of our multi-year data center contract in early 2027, we are also pursuing additional opportunities to supply LNG for data center power generation. On the marine side, we made progress on our longer-term Gulf Coast strategy, receiving a U.S. Coast Guard Letter of Recommendation on the Waterway Suitability Assessment for our proposed Galveston LNG facility, which remains in development. We believe this will be the fastest to market, lowest cost per gallon dedicated LNG bunkering facility on the Gulf Coast.
“We view 2026 as a transition year, with the business having troughed in the first quarter and building through the second half, setting the stage for sustainable growth in 2027. Looking ahead, we are well positioned to capitalize on growing demand across our key end-markets, and we expect 2027 to be a record year for Stabilis, with revenues expected to ramp to well over $100 million for the full year,” concluded Crenshaw.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $11.9 million, a decrease of 31.2% compared to the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to the completion of large contracts in the marine and power generation sectors in Q4 of 2025, partly offset by continued growth in aerospace and industrial sector volumes.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was ($4.6) million, or ($0.25) per diluted share, compared to a loss of ($0.6) million or ($0.03) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. When compared to the prior year period, net loss reflects lower revenues and $2.9 million in vessel charter expenses associated with a marine vessel charter that was terminated late in the second quarter, partly offset by a $0.6 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The charter had been entered into in anticipation of a customer commitment that did not materialize, and was terminated accordingly. With the charter now terminated, the Company does not expect any further impact to earnings from this vessel charter beyond the second quarter.
Cash flow from operations was $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of last year, primarily reflecting $5.0 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 second quarter of 2026 was $0.1 million, compared to $1.5 million, in the year ago quarter. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year is primarily attributable to the completion of the 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).
