Operational / strategic items: • Iraq integrated LNG import terminal startup delayed from Q3 2026 to 2027 due to Middle East conflict and construction/logistics constraints; company stresses this is a timing shift, not a cancellation. • Excelerate received a Force Majeure notice from QatarEnergy on a supply agreement and issued a reciprocal FM notice to Petrobangla; estimated financial impact ~ $1 million per month while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. • Newbuild FSRU Acadia (delivered from Hyundai) was redeployed on a 9-month time charter to Jordan’s NEPCO, starting mid-2026 and expected to contribute roughly $20 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2026. • Jamaica integrated platform performing well (99% reliability in Q1) with growing gas volumes and commercial traction across the Caribbean. Guidance and capital plans: full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance revised to $480–$510 million; committed growth capital guidance revised to $270–$300 million (deferral of Iraq-related spend into 2027); maintenance CapEx unchanged at $100–$110 million. Company is negotiating an FSRU conversion (LOI signed with Seatrium Shipyard in Singapore) and expects sequential growth through 2028 from vessel redeployments and the planned conversion. Management emphasizes portfolio diversification across continents, focus on contracted/regas infrastructure, and the flexibility of floating assets to redeploy into near-term opportunities.
