FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STABILIS SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES RECORD FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Growth returns with record fourth quarter revenue of $13.7 million, up 52% vs. third quarter 2020

Houston, March 10, 2021 — Stabilis Solutions, Inc., (“Stabilis”) (OTCQX: SLNG) today reported its financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.
Fourth Quarter Results
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020, Stabilis reported its highest ever quarterly revenue for the period of $13.7 million, a 52% increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and a 10% increase from the fourth quarter of 2019. The growth was primarily the result of a broad-based increase in customer activity following the pandemic-driven economic slowdown earlier in the year, and significant new customers added during 2020.
Revenues from Stabilis’ LNG segment totaled $12.1 million, a 57% sequential increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and a 16% increase from the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company delivered 10.4 million LNG gallons to customers in the quarter and utilization of the George West liquefier averaged 62% in the current quarter compared to 48% in the third quarter of 2020 and 63% in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) jumped to $2.3 million, or 17% of revenue during the fourth quarter, a $2.0 million improvement over the third quarter of 2020 and an 8% improvement over the fourth quarter of 2019. The sequential improvement in profitability was primarily the result of increased utilization of the Company’s asset base, particularly improved utilization of the George West liquefier, in connection with its revenue growth.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 narrowed to ($0.1 million) compared to a net loss of ($2.1 million) in the third quarter of 2020 and ($0.6 million) during the fourth quarter of 2019.
“Stabilis has recovered from COVID-19,” said Jim Reddinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stabilis Solutions, Inc. “Our team executed flawlessly throughout a challenging 2020 and successfully won new business while maintaining existing customers, and controlling costs. As a result, we anticipate accelerated revenue and profitability growth in 2021 in both our LNG and hydrogen businesses.”

Full Year Results
Annual 2020 revenue totaled $41.6 million, compared to $47.1 million during 2019. LNG segment revenues in 2020 were $36.3 million compared to $43.7 million during 2019. LNG gallons delivered decreased by 17% and utilization of the George West Plant decreased to 55% in the current year versus 70% in 2019. The declines in revenue and LNG volumes were the result of overall decreased industrial activity due to the economic shutdown associated with the global COVID-19 pandemic, which heavily impacted the Company during the second and third quarters of 2020, offset by record revenues during the first and fourth quarters of the year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million in 2020, or 8% of revenue, as compared to $6.6 million or 14% of revenue during 2019. Net loss for 2020 was ($6.8 million) compared to a net loss of ($5.5 million) in the prior year.
The Company generated positive cash flows from operations of $1.3 million during the current year, compared to cash provided by operations of $4.1 million in the prior year. Cash on hand as of December 31, 2020 was $1.8 million.

About Stabilis
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. is a vertically integrated energy transition company that provides clean energy solutions to our customers. Our solutions include small-scale liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) production, distribution and fueling services to multiple end markets in North America. Stabilis also provides hydrogen fueling services to its customers. Stabilis has safely delivered over 250 million gallons of LNG through more than 25,000 truck deliveries during its 16-year operating history in the LNG industry, which we believe makes us one of the largest and most experienced small-scale LNG providers in North America. Stabilis’ customers use LNG and hydrogen as fuel sources in a variety of applications in the industrial, energy, mining, utilities and pipelines, commercial, and high horsepower transportation markets. Stabilis’ customers use LNG and hydrogen as alternatives to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil and propane, to lower fuel costs and reduce harmful environmental emissions. Stabilis’ customers also use LNG as a “virtual pipeline” solution when natural gas pipelines are not available or volumes are curtailed. To learn more, visit www.stabilis-solutions.com.

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 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 loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands).
