Golar LNG Limited Interim results for the period ended March 31
2024
Highlights and subsequent
events
- Golar LNG Limited (“Golar” or “the Company”) reports Q1
2024 (“Q1” or “the quarter”) Net income attributable to Golar of
$55 million inclusive of $6 million of non-cash
items1, and Adjusted
EBITDA1 of $64 million.
- FLNG Hilli maintained 100% economic uptime and
market leading operational track record.
- FLNG Gimi on standby day rate ready to
commence operations for BP.
- Framework Agreement announced in our Q4 2023 earnings
report now progressed to detailed contractual negotiations for FLNG
deployment. Additional FLNG deployment opportunities in advanced
development.
- 0.7 million shares repurchased during Q1 at an average
price of $20.87 per share.
- Declared dividend of $0.25 per share for the
quarter.
FLNG Hilli: Maintained
her market leading operational track record, generating $68 million
of Q1 Distributable Adjusted EBITDA1, of which Golar’s
share was $64 million, a $20 million decrease compared to Q4 2023.
Most of the decrease is attributable to a reduction in realized TTF
commodity swap gains and lower Brent oil prices.
FLNG Gimi: Moored at
the GTA Hub offshore Mauritania and Senegal, ready to commence
operations. During April, Golar received its first standby day rate
cash payment from March 13, 2024 onwards, paid monthly in arrears.
Pre-Commercial Operations Date contractual cash flows are expected
to be deferred on the balance sheet and released over the contract
term from the Commercial Operations Date (“COD”). The operators, BP
and Kosmos, and Golar have reached an agreement in principle to
resolve the disputed amounts for pre-COD cash flows from January
10, 2024, subject to final documentation and stakeholder approval.
If made effective this agreement will provide Golar with
progressive stage payments from January 10, 2024 until COD.
The client’s FPSO has now arrived at the project
site. Hookup and commissioning of the FPSO are on the critical path
to first gas and are expected to complete in the third quarter of
2024. Commissioning of FLNG Gimi can commence thereafter.
FLNG Gimi’s commissioning period is expected to be
approximately six months, concluding with COD. Together with the
client we are making positive progress in exploring options to
bring forward parts of the commissioning process that could shorten
this six-month commissioning period. COD triggers the start of the
20-year Lease and Operate Agreement that unlocks the equivalent of
around $3 billion of Adjusted EBITDA Backlog1 to Golar
and recognition of the contractual day rate comprised of capital
and operating elements in both the balance sheet and income
statement.
A potential refinancing facility with agreed
indicative terms between prospective lenders and Golar is advancing
to term sheet and syndication. Golar targets a facility with a
higher debt amount, lower margin and improved amortization profile
versus the current vessel debt facility.
FLNG business development:
Focus on re-deployment of Hilli following the end of her
current charter in July 2026, and thereafter ordering and securing
commercial terms for a contemplated MKII FLNG.
The framework agreement for potential FLNG
deployment (as announced in our Q4 2023 earnings release),
has now progressed to detailed contract negotiations for an up to
20-year FLNG deployment. The next steps of the project development
include (i) signing of definitive detailed agreements, (ii)
obtaining necessary third-party approvals including governmental
and environmental, amongst others, and (iii) a mutual Final
Investment Decision (“FID”). The FLNG development has a planned
start-up during 2027.
We continue to advance additional FLNG
developments and see increased prospective client interaction for
our FLNG offering. Geographically, most of the activity remains in
West Africa and South America, however we are pleased to see other
regions with proven stranded and associated gas reserves seek FLNG
development. Based on the increased FLNG business development
activity we have recruited Federico Petersen as Chief Commercial
Officer, and a further two highly experienced maritime and upstream
development team members will join later this year. Together they
have a combined 70+ years of experience and a successful business
development track record.
The MKII FLNG project development continues,
with previously ordered long lead items now 58% complete and the
LNGC conversion candidate Fuji LNG delivered to Golar on
March 4, 2024. Fuji LNG will trade on a multi-month
charter ahead of her expected transfer to the yard for FLNG
conversion. Work between the topside manufacturer, shipyard and
Golar continues to move the project towards a FID. Detailed
negotiation for a debt financing facility to be available during
the construction period of the contemplated MKII FLNG also
continues with prospective lenders and made solid progress during
the quarter.
Other/Shipping: Operating
revenues and costs under corporate and other items is comprised of
two FSRU operate and maintain agreements in respect of the LNG
Croatia and Golar Tundra. The non-core shipping
segment is comprised of the LNGC Golar Arctic, and
Fuji LNG which is now trading on a multi-month charter.
Per above, Fuji LNG is a MKII FLNG conversion candidate,
whilst Golar Arctic remains a candidate for sale or
long-term charter.
Share buyback and dividends:
The company continues to see attractive value in its shares and
purchased and cancelled 0.7 million shares during the quarter at an
average cost of $20.87 per share. As of March 31, 2024, 104.0
million shares are issued and outstanding. Of the $150.0 million
approved share buyback scheme, $74.1 million remains available.
Golar’s Board of Directors approved a total Q1
2024 dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on or around June 17,
2024. The record date will be June 10, 2024.

Golar reports today Q1 net income of $55
million, before non-controlling interests, inclusive of $6 million
of non-cash items1, comprised of:
- TTF and Brent oil unrealized mark-to-market gains of $2
million; and
- A $4 million mark-to-market gain on interest rate swaps.
The Brent oil linked component of FLNG
Hilli’s fees generates additional annual cash of
approximately $3.1 million (Golar share equivalent to $2.7 million)
for every dollar increase in Brent Crude prices between $60 per
barrel and the contractual ceiling. Billing of this component is
based on a three-month look-back at average Brent Crude prices.
During Q1, we recognized a total of $34 million of realized gains
on FLNG Hilli’s oil and gas derivative instruments
comprised of:
- A $17 million realized gain on the Brent oil linked derivative
instrument of which Golar has an effective 89.1% interest;
- A $5 million realized gain in respect of fees for the TTF
linked production of which Golar has an effective 89.4% interest;
and
- A $12 million realized gain on the hedged component of the
quarter’s TTF linked fees of which 100% is attributable to
Golar.
Further, we recognized a total of $2 million of
non-cash gains in relation to FLNG Hilli’s oil and gas
derivative assets, with corresponding movements in its constituent
parts recognized on our unaudited consolidated statement of
operations as follows:
- A $31 million gain on the Brent oil linked derivative
asset;
- A $17 million loss on the TTF linked natural gas derivative
asset; and
- A $12 million loss on the economically hedged portion of the Q1
TTF linked FLNG Hilli production.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity:
As of March 31, 2024, Total Golar
Cash1 was $622 million, comprised of $548 million of
cash and cash equivalents and $74 million of restricted cash.
Golar’s share of Contractual Debt1 as
of March 31, 2024 is $1,209 million. Deducting Total Golar
Cash1 of $622 million from Golar’s share of Contractual
Debt1 of $1,209 million, leaves a debt position of $587
million.
A total of $45 million was invested in FLNG
Gimi during the quarter, with the total FLNG Gimi
asset under development balance as at March 31, 2024 amounting to
$1.6 billion, including capitalized financing cost during the
construction period. Of this, $630 million was drawn against the
$700 million debt facility secured by FLNG Gimi. Both the
investment and debt drawn to date are reported on a 100% basis.
Expenditure on long-lead items, engineering
services and conversion candidate Fuji LNG for the MKII
FLNG amounted to $270 million as of March 31, 2024. Of this, $192
million is included in other non-current assets and $78 million in
respect of Fuji LNG is included in vessels and equipment,
net. The final payment on the Fuji LNG of $62 million was
made during Q1 2024. All MKII FLNG expenditure incurred to date,
including the acquisition of Fuji LNG is currently fully
equity financed.
Positive progress on a potential refinancing
facility of Gimi as well as a potential debt facility for
a MKII FLNG newbuilding can further add significant flexibility to
Golar’s cash position.
The board and management are pleased with the
progress made across business development, new potential financing
facilities and moving MKII FLNG closer to FID, whilst continuing to
deliver market leading operational performance on Hilli
and bringing Gimi closer to COD. We continue to focus on
(i) commercial opportunities for FLNG deployment, (ii) optimizing
the debt associated with Gimi, (iii) target FLNG growth
through a MKII FLNG FID, and (iv) continue to deliver attractive
shareholder returns.
Non-GAAP measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US
GAAP), this earnings release and the associated investor
presentation contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures
which are included in the table below. We believe these non-GAAP
financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental
information about the financial performance of our business, enable
comparison of financial results between periods where certain items
may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater
transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in
operating our business and measuring our performance.
This report also contains certain
forward-looking non-GAAP measures for which we are unable to
provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial
measures because certain information needed to reconcile those
non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is
dependent on future events some of which are outside of our
control, such as oil and gas prices and exchange rates, as such
items may be significant. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future
events which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP
financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent
with the accounting policies applied to Golar’s unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and
financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP
measures are not uniformly defined by all companies and may not be
comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures used by
other companies. The reconciliations as at March 31, 2024, from
these results should be carefully evaluated.

contractual debt is eliminated and replaced with the lessor VIE
debt.
Contractual debt represents our debt obligations under our various
financing arrangements before consolidating the lessor VIE.
The measure enables investors and users of our financial statements
to assess our liquidity, identify the split of our debt (current

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) which reflects management’s current
expectations, estimates and projections about its operations. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address
activities and events that will, should, could or may occur in the
future are forward-looking statements. Words such as “if,” “subject
to,” “believe,” “assuming,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,”
“forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “will,” “may,”
“should,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “propose,”
“continue,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based
upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon
further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s
examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our
records and other data available from third parties. Although
we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made,
because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible
to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we
will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
of this press release. Unless legally required, Golar undertakes no
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include but
are not limited to:
- our ability and that of our counterparty to meet our respective
obligations under the 20-year lease and operate agreement (the
“LOA”) with BP Mauritania, a subsidiary of BP p.l.c (“BP”), entered
into in connection with the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Project (the
“GTA Project”), including the commissioning and start-up of various
project infrastructure such as the floating production, storage and
offloading unit (“FPSO”). Delays could result in incremental costs
to both parties to the LOA, delay FLNG commissioning works and the
start of operations for our FLNG Gimi (“FLNG Gimi”);
- continuing uncertainty resulting from our claim for certain
pre-commissioning contractual prepayments that we believe we are
entitled to receive from BP pursuant to the LOA, including timing
of eventual resolution, whether our claim will be upheld and any
eventual recovery or amounts that we may be required to
settle;
- our ability to meet our obligations under the liquefaction
tolling agreement (the “LTA”) entered into in connection with the
Hilli Episeyo (“FLNG Hilli”);
- our ability to recontract the FLNG Hilli once her
current contract ends in July 2026 and other competitive factors in
the FLNG industry;
- that an attractive deployment opportunity, or any of the
opportunities under discussion for the Mark II FLNG (“MKII FLNG”),
one of our FLNG designs, will be converted into a suitable
contract. Failure to do this in a timely manner or at all could
expose us to losses on our investments in a donor vessel for a
prospective Mark II project, the Fuji LNG (the “Fuji LNG”),
long-lead items and engineering services to date. Assuming a
satisfactory contract is secured, changes in project capital
expenditures, foreign exchange and commodity price volatility could
have a material impact on the expected magnitude and timing of our
return on investment;
- changes in our ability to retrofit vessels as FLNGs or FSRUs
and our ability to secure financing for such conversions on
acceptable terms or at all;
- continuing uncertainty resulting from potential future claims
from our counterparties of purported force majeure (“FM”) under
contractual arrangements, including but not limited to our future
projects and other contracts to which we are a party;
- failure of shipyards to comply with schedules, performance
specifications or agreed prices;
- failure of our contract counterparties to comply with their
agreements with us or other key project stakeholders;
- our ability to close potential future transactions in relation
to equity interests in our vessels, including the Golar
Arctic, FLNG Hilli and FLNG Gimi or to
monetize our remaining equity method investments on a timely basis
or at all;
- increases in operating costs as a result of inflation,
including but not limited to salaries and wages, insurance, crew
provisions, repairs and maintenance, spares and redeployment
related modification costs;
- continuing volatility in the global financial markets,
including but not limited to commodity prices, foreign exchange
rates and interest rates;
- global economic trends, competition and geopolitical risks,
including impacts from the length and severity of future pandemic
outbreaks, rising inflation and the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine
and the Middle East, attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and the
related sanctions and other measures, including the related impacts
on the supply chain for our conversions or commissioning works, the
operations of our charterers and customers, our global operations
and our business in general;
- changes in our relationship with our equity method investments
and the sustainability of any distributions they pay us;
- claims made or losses incurred in connection with our
continuing obligations with regard to New Fortress Energy Inc.
(“NFE”), Energos Infrastructure Holdings Finance LLC (“Energos”),
Cool Company Ltd (“CoolCo”) and Snam S.p.A. (“Snam”);
- the ability of Energos, CoolCo and Snam to meet their
respective obligations to us, including indemnification
