FLNG Hilli: Maintained
her market leading operational track record and exceeded her
contracted 2024 production volume resulting in the recognition of
$0.5 million of 2024 over production accrued revenue. Q4 2024
Distributable Adjusted EBITDA1 was $68 million excluding
overproduction revenue. FLNG Hilli has offloaded 128
cargoes to date.
In December 2024, Golar acquired all remaining
third party minority ownership interests in FLNG Hilli for
$60 million in cash and a $30 million increase in Golar's share of
contractual debt. The acquisitions included a total of 5.45% common
units, 10.9% Series A shares and 10.9% Series B shares. The
transaction was equivalent to ~8% of the full FLNG capacity.
Following this, Golar has a 100% economic interest in FLNG
Hilli.
The acquisition is immediately accretive to
Golar’s cash flow. Annual Adjusted EBITDA1 from the base
tolling fee is expected to increase by approximately $7 million.
The Brent oil linked commodity element of the current FLNG
Hilli charter will increase from $2.7 million to $3.1
million in annual Adjusted EBITDA1 attributable to Golar
per dollar for Brent oil prices between $60/bbl and the contractual
ceiling. The TTF linked component of the current tariff will
similarly increase annual Adjusted EBITDA1 generation
attributable to Golar from $3.2 million to $3.7 million per $/MMBtu
of European TTF gas prices above a floor price that delivers a base
annual TTF fee of $5 million. The acquisition of the minority
ownership interests is also accretive to Golar’s Adjusted EBITDA
backlog1, with an ~8% shareholding of the 20-year
charter in Argentina starting in 2027* increasing the
backlog by approximately $0.5 billion, before commodity
exposure.
Golar expects to release significant capital
from a contemplated refinancing of FLNG Hilli following
completion of the conditions precedent in the SESA 20-year
charter.
FLNG Gimi: Following
the commercial reset with bp announced in August 2024, accelerated
commissioning commenced in October 2024 using gas from a LNG
carrier. In January 2025, gas from the carrier was replaced by
feedgas from the bp operated FPSO which allowed full commissioning
to commence. This milestone triggered the final upward adjustment
to the Commissioning Rate under the commercial reset. LNG is now
being produced, and subject to receipt of sufficient feed gas, the
first LNG export cargo is expected within Q1 2025. Assuming all
conditions are met, the Commercial Operations Date (“COD”) is
expected within Q2 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.
A debt facility to refinance FLNG Gimi
is in an advanced stage, with credit approvals now received. The
transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and third
party stakeholder approvals.
MKII FLNG 3.5MTPA conversion:
Conversion work on the $2.2 billion MK II FLNG (“MK II”) is
proceeding to schedule. After discharging her final cargo as an LNG
carrier in January 2025, the conversion vessel Fuji LNG
entered CIMC's Yantai yard in February 2025. Golar has spent $0.6
billion to date, all of which is equity funded. The MK II is
expected to be delivered in Q4 2027 and be the first available FLNG
capacity globally.
As part of the EPC agreement, Golar also has an
option for a second MK II conversion slot at CIMC for delivery
within 2028.
FLNG business development: In
July 2024, Golar announced that it had entered into definitive
agreements for the deployment of an FLNG in Argentina. In October
2024, Golar received a notice reserving FLNG Hilli for the
20-year charter. During November 2024, Pampa Energia joined the
SESA project with a 20% equity stake, in December 2024 Harbour
Energy joined with a 15% equity stake and in February 2025 YPF
joined with a 15% equity stake. Pan American Energy (“PAE”) remains
with a 40% equity stake and Golar with its 10% equity stake. SESA
will be responsible for sourcing Argentine natural gas to the FLNG,
chartering and operating FLNG Hilli and marketing and
selling LNG globally. The addition of leading natural gas and oil
producers in Argentina further strengthens both the project and
Golar’s charter counterparty.
Following the end of FLNG Hilli’s
current charter in July 2026 offshore Cameroon, FLNG Hilli
will undergo vessel upgrades to maintain 20-years of continuous
operations offshore. Operations in Argentina are expected to
commence in 2027. FLNG Hilli is expected to generate an
annual Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $300 million,
plus a commodity linked element in the FLNG tariff and commodity
exposure through Golar’s 10% equity stake in SESA.
The project remains subject to defined
conditions precedent (“CP”), including an export license,
environmental assessment and Final Investment Decision (“FID”) by
SESA. Workstreams for each CP are advancing according to schedule
and are expected to be concluded within Q2 2025.
Golar’s position as the only proven service
provider of FLNG globally, our market leading capex/ton and
operational uptime continues to drive interest in our FLNG
solutions. The MKII under construction is now the focus of multiple
commercial discussions. Advanced discussions are taking place in
the Americas, West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Once
a charter is secured for the MKII under construction, we aim to FID
our 4th FLNG unit. In addition to the option for a
second MKII at CIMC Raffles shipyard, we are now in discussions
with other capable shipyards for this potential 4th
unit, focused on design, liquefaction capacity, capex/ton and
delivery.
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
was comprised of the LNGC Golar Arctic, and Fuji
LNG. During February 2025, Fuji LNG entered CIMC's
yard for her FLNG conversion and Golar Arctic was sold for
$24 million. This concludes Golar's 50-year presence in the LNG
shipping business.
In January 2025, Golar also agreed to sell its
non-core 23.4% interest in Avenir. The transaction closed in
February 2025 upon receipt of $39 million of net proceeds.
Shares and dividends: As of
December 31, 2024, 104.5 million shares are issued and outstanding.
Golar’s Board of Directors approved a total Q4 2024 dividend of
$0.25 per share to be paid on or around March 18, 2025. The record
date will be March 11, 2025.

Golar reports today Q4 2024 net income of $3
million, before non-controlling interests, inclusive of $29 million
of non-cash items1, comprised of:
-
A $23 million impairment of LNG carrier, Golar
Arctic;
-
TTF and Brent oil unrealized mark-to-market (“MTM”) losses of $14
million; and
-
A $8 million MTM gain on interest rate swaps.
The Brent oil linked component of FLNG
Hilli’s fees generates additional annual cash of
approximately $3.1 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 Q4, we recognized a total of $34 million
of realized gains on FLNG Hilli's oil and gas derivative
instruments, comprised of a:
-
$14 million realized gain on the Brent oil linked derivative
instrument;
-
$12 million realized gain on the hedged component of the quarter’s
TTF linked fees; and
-
$8 million realized gain in respect of fees for the TTF linked
production.
Further, we recognized a total of $14 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:
-
$12 million loss on the economically hedged portion of the Q4 TTF
linked FLNG production; and
-
$2 million loss on the Brent oil linked derivative asset.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity:
As of December 31, 2024, Total Golar
Cash1 was $699 million, comprised of $566 million of
cash and cash equivalents and $133 million of restricted
cash.
Golar’s share of Contractual Debt1 as
of December 31, 2024 is $1,515 million. Deducting Total Golar
Cash1 of $699 million from Golar’s share of Contractual
Debt1 leaves a debt position net of Total Golar Cash of
$816 million.
Assets under development amounts to $2.2
billion, comprised of $1.7 billion in respect of FLNG Gimi
and $0.5 billion in respect of the MKII. The carrying value of LNG
carrier Fuji LNG, currently included under Vessels and
equipment, net will be transferred to Assets under development in
Q1, 2025.
Following agreement by the consortium of lenders
who provide the current $700 million FLNG Gimi facility,
Golar drew down the final $70 million tranche of this facility in
November 2024. Of the $1.7 billion FLNG Gimi investment as
of December 31, 2024, inclusive of $297 million of capitalized
financing costs, $700 million was funded by the current debt
facility. Both the FLNG Gimi investment and outstanding
Gimi debt are reported on a 100% basis. All capital
expenditure in connection with the 100% owned MK II is equity
funded.
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 December 31, 2024 and
for the year ended December 31, 2024, from these results should be
carefully evaluated.

During the year, we consolidate a lessor VIE for our Hilli sale and
leaseback facility. This means that on consolidation, our
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. |

Total Golar Cash |
Golar cash based on GAAP measures:
+ Cash and cash equivalents

-VIE restricted cash and short-term deposits |
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. 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 Episeyo
(“FLNG Hilli”);
-
our ability to meet our obligations with Southern Energy S.A. SESA
in connection with the recently signed agreement on FLNG deployment
in Argentina, and SESAs ability to meet its obligations with
