Highlights and subsequent
events
- Final Investment Decision (“FID”) for MK II 3.5mtpa
FLNG for delivery within 2027.
- Received reservation notice for FLNG Hilli under
definitive agreements with Pan American Energy (“PAE”) for 20-year
FLNG deployment in Argentina.
- Strong progress on FLNG commercial
opportunities.
- Agreed commercial reset of pre-COD contract mechanisms
with bp for FLNG Gimi (“the commercial reset”).
- FLNG Hilli maintains market-leading operational track
record.
- Golar reports a Q3 2024 (“Q3” or “the quarter”) Net
loss of $36 million, a Net profit of $54 million excluding $90
million of market adjusted non-cash items, and Adjusted EBITDA1 of
$59 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA backlog1 of approximately $11 billion,
including existing and redeployment charters for our existing FLNGs
Hilli and Gimi, before commodity exposure.
- Issued $300 million five-year senior unsecured
bond.
- Declared dividend of $0.25 per share for the
quarter.
FLNG Hilli: Maintained market
leading operational track record, generating $73 million of Q3
Distributable Adjusted EBITDA1, of which Golar’s share was $68
million. 122nd LNG cargo export in progress.
FLNG Gimi: Following the
commercial reset reached in August 2024, Golar is now contractually
entitled to receive daily payments for the period from January 10,
2024 until the Commercial Operations Date (“COD”). Under the new
arrangements and based on the operator's latest timeline, Golar
expects to receive approximately $220 million across 2024 and 2025
in pre-COD compensation inclusive of milestone bonuses, of which
approximately $130 million will be invoiced in 2024. Of this, $78
million has been received in 2024 to date. This pre-COD
compensation, net of $110 million of liquidated damages already
paid to bp, will be deferred on the balance sheet.
Golar, bp and Kosmos Energy Ltd. agreed to use
an LNG cargo to accelerate the commissioning schedule. In October
2024 the LNG carrier British Sponsor started to introduce gas to
the FLNG Gimi. FLNG commissioning is now underway and will continue
to utilize gas from the accelerated commissioning cargo until the
bp FPSO is ready to send gas to the FLNG Gimi. Commissioning
activity will then further ramp up.
Based on the latest project schedule, COD is
expected within 1H 2025. COD will trigger the start of the 20-year
Lease and Operate Agreement that unlocks the equivalent of around
$3 billion of Adjusted EBITDA Backlog1 (Golar’s share) and
recognition of contractual payments comprised of capital and
operating elements in both the balance sheet and income
statement.
The contemplated refinancing of the FLNG Gimi is
progressing, targeting a new increased debt facility with a lower
margin and improved amortization profile versus the current vessel
debt facility and potentially releasing significant liquidity to
Golar. Credit approvals are being received and detailed
documentation has started. Execution of the facility will be
subject to remaining credit approvals and finalizing
documentation.
FLNG business development: In
July 2024, Golar and PAE entered into definitive agreements for a
20-year FLNG deployment project in Argentina. The project will tap
into the Vaca Muerta shale deposit in the Neuquén Basin, the
world's second largest shale gas formation and is expected to
commence LNG exports within 2027. The fully executed agreements
include a Gas Sales Agreement from PAE for the supply of gas and an
FLNG charter agreement with Golar. The definitive contracts are
subject to satisfying defined conditions precedent, including an
export license, environmental assessment and FID by PAE. Work on
the conditions precedent is progressing with their satisfaction and
FID expected within Q1 2025. PAE issued a reservation notice
reserving the FLNG Hilli to the project in October 2024. This
includes a reservation fee should the project not materialize, and
ends Golar’s option to nominate an alternative FLNG to service the
contract.
Hilli is expected to generate an annual Adjusted
EBITDA1 of approximately $300 million, and a commodity-linked
pricing element. Golar will also hold a 10% stake in recently
established Southern Energy S.A., a dedicated joint venture with
PAE, responsible for the purchase of domestic natural gas,
operations, and sale and marketing of LNG volumes from Argentina.
The management team of Southern Energy has been appointed and is
now focused on securing the requisite regulatory and environmental
approvals and working to attract additional Vaca Muerta gas
resource owners to part-take in the project.
The FLNG Hilli project will initially utilize
spare capacity in Argentina's existing pipeline network. Work to
construct a dedicated pipeline connecting the FLNG terminal
location directly to the Vaca Muerta shale formation is also being
pursued. This could support a multi-FLNG vessel project in
Argentina, including opportunities for our MKII FLNG(s).
We continue to make significant positive
progress on our other FLNG commercial opportunities on the back of
Golar’s position as the only proven provider of FLNG as a service,
our market leading operational performance, our competitive
construction cost advantage and the earliest available FLNG
capacity globally. We are progressing commercial and technical work
on FLNG projects in the Americas, West Africa, the Middle East and
Southeast Asia. These commercial opportunities are at various
stages of development. We target to secure a charter for our MKII
FLNG within 2025. Once a charter is secured for the MKII FLNG under
construction Golar will seek asset level debt financing for the
unit, targeting ~4-6x contracted EBITDA.
In September 2024 Golar signed an Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) agreement with CIMC Raffles
(“CIMC”) for its first 3.5mtpa MK II FLNG. The MK II design uses
the same topside equipment as its MKI FLNG predecessor but
incorporates further efficiency and operability advances. Inclusive
of the EPC contract, conversion vessel, yard supervision, spares,
crew, training, contingencies, initial bunker supply and voyage
related costs to deliver the FLNG to its operational site, the
budget for the MK II FLNG conversion is estimated at US$ 2.2
billion. Of this, Golar has spent $0.4 billion as of September 30,
2024. The MK II FLNG is expected to be delivered in Q4 2027 and be
the first available FLNG capacity globally.
As part of the EPC agreement, Golar has secured
an option for a second MK II FLNG conversion slot at CIMC for
delivery within 2028. In view of the tight global shipyard
situation created by large shipping and FPSO orders, Golar sees
availability of early yard slots at credible shipyards as a
significant competitive and strategic advantage.
Other/Shipping: Operating
revenues and costs under corporate and other items are comprised of
two FSRU operate and maintain agreements in respect of the LNG
Croatia and Italis LNG. The non-core shipping segment is comprised
of the LNGC Golar Arctic, and Fuji LNG which is trading on a
multi-month charter. Fuji LNG is expected to enter the CIMC yard at
the end of her current charter in Q1 2025.
Macaw Energies has now delivered its first ISO
containers to industrial customers with LNG produced from
flare-to-gas at its field-testing location in Texas, US. We
continue to optimize the unit to cater for fluctuating quality of
the flare gas input.
Shares and dividends: As of
September 30, 2024, 104.4 million shares are issued and
outstanding. Golar’s Board of Directors approved a total Q3 2024
dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on or around December 2,
2024. The record date will be November 25, 2024.
$74.1 million of the approved share buyback
scheme of $150.0 million remains available.

Golar reports today a Q3 net loss of $36
million, before non-controlling interests, inclusive of $90 million
of non-cash losses1, comprised of:
- TTF and Brent oil unrealized mark-to-market (“MTM”) losses of
$74 million; and
- A $16 million MTM loss 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 Q3, we recognized a
total of $37 million of realized gains on FLNG Hilli's oil and gas
derivative instruments comprised of a:
- $19 million realized gain on the Brent oil linked derivative
instrument of which Golar has an effective 89.1% interest;
- $6 million realized gain in respect of fees for the TTF linked
production of which Golar has an effective 89.4% interest; and
- $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 $74 million of
non-cash losses in relation to FLNG Hilli’s oil and gas derivative
assets, with corresponding changes in fair value in its constituent
parts recognized on our unaudited consolidated statement of
operations as follows:
- $60 million loss on the Brent oil linked derivative asset;
- $2 million loss on the TTF linked natural gas derivative asset;
and
- $12 million loss on the economically hedged portion of the Q3
TTF linked FLNG production.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity:
As of September 30, 2024, Total Golar Cash1 was
$807 million, comprised of $732 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $75 million of restricted cash.
On September 5, 2024 the Company priced $300
million of senior unsecured bonds in the Nordic bond market.
Proceeds net of fees and $10 million of 2021 bonds rolled into the
2024 bond amounted to $284 million. The bonds will mature in
September 2029 and bear interest at 7.75% per annum. Net proceeds
from the bond issue will be applied towards MK II capital
expenditure, refinancing of debt and general corporate
purposes.
Inclusive of the new bonds, Golar’s share of
Contractual Debt1 as of September 30, 2024 is $1,465 million.
Deducting Total Golar Cash1 of $807 million from Golar’s share of
Contractual Debt1 leaves a debt position net of Total Golar Cash of
$658 million.
Following the MKII FLNG FID, $255 million of
investments in related long-lead items and engineering services
were reclassified from Other non-current assets to Assets under
development. Assets under development now amounts to $2 billion,
comprised of $1.7 billion in respect of FLNG Gimi and $0.3 billion
in respect of MKII FLNG. The carrying value of LNG carrier Fuji
LNG, currently included under Vessels and equipment, net will be
transferred to Assets under development when the vessel enters the
shipyard in early 2025. Of the $1.7 billion FLNG Gimi investment,
$630 million was funded by the current $700 million debt facility
($615 million outstanding on September 30, 2024). Both the FLNG
Gimi investment and outstanding Gimi debt are reported on a 100%
basis. All capital expenditure in connection with 100% owned MK II
FLNG is equity financed.
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 September 30, 2024 and
for the nine months period ended September 30, 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 and non-current) based on our underlying contractual
obligations and aid comparability with our competitors. |

We consolidate a lessor VIE for our sale and leaseback facility.
This means that on consolidation, we include restricted cash held
by the lessor VIE. Total Golar Cash represents our cash and
cash equivalents and restricted cash and short-term deposits
(current and non-current) before consolidating the lessor
VIE. Management believe that this measure enables investors
and users of our financial statements to assess our liquidity and
aids comparability with our competitors. |

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 Investments Limited, 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. Delays could result in
incremental costs to both parties to the LOA, delay floating
liquefaction natural gas vessel (“FLNG”) commissioning works and
the start of operations for our FLNG Gimi (“FLNG Gimi”);
- our ability to meet our obligations under our commercial
agreements, including the liquefaction tolling agreement (the
“LTA”) entered into in connection with the FLNG Hilli (“FLNG
Hilli”);
- ahead of a Final Investment Decision, our ability to meet our
obligations with Pan American Energy (“PAE”) in connection with the
recently signed agreement on FLNG deployment in Argentina, and
their ability to meet their obligations with us;
- that an attractive deployment opportunity, or any of the
opportunities under discussion for the Mark II FLNG (“MK II”), 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 investment
in the LNGC, long-lead items, engineering services and yard
payments to date, as well as to termination fees. 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;
- changes in our ability to obtain additional financing or
refinance existing debts on acceptable terms or at all, including
our ability to obtain remaining credit approvals and conclude
documentation, both of which are precursors to closing the
