Executed a new contract for behind-the-meter LNG power generation at an additional U.S. data center, with service expected to commence in Q3 2026; the Company expects this contract will contribute to improved financial performance during the second half of 2026
Significant capital investment and pre-commissioning work underway for previously announced behind-the-meter LNG power generation at a U.S. data center, commencing Q1 2027
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.
