MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Stabilis demonstrated strong operational execution during the third quarter, capitalizing on demand for our integrated last-mile LNG solutions," stated Casey Crenshaw, Executive Chairman and Interim President & Chief Executive Officer. "Higher throughput volumes across our marine, aerospace, and power generation markets translated to improved profitability in the third quarter, consistent with our expectations."

"In October, we announced our largest planned LNG liquefaction capacity expansion to-date with the proposed construction of a new facility in Galveston, Texas," continued Crenshaw. "In conjunction with this planned expansion, we announced that Stabilis had secured a 10-year marine bunkering agreement with a global marine operator to supply LNG for their bunkering operations at the Port of Galveston. We have commenced detailed engineering and design work on both the Galveston LNG facility and related logistics assets, which include a Jones Act-compliant LNG bunkering vessel."

"The planned financing of the Galveston LNG project continues to progress on-schedule," noted Crenshaw. "At this time, we are evaluating various financing structures with our advisors, including project-level joint venture partners. As before, we remain committed to the collective interests of all shareholders as we progress toward this next chapter of value creation. We expect to finalize project financing in early 2026, with construction of the Galveston LNG facility to commence shortly thereafter."

"As we advance our strategic expansion in Galveston, we remain committed to maintaining our disciplined approach toward capital allocation," stated Andy Puhala, Chief Financial Officer. "Capital expenditures increased during the third quarter as we ramped investment to support engineering and design work for the Galveston LNG project ahead of a final investment decision. Our liquidity position remains robust, supported by consistent operating cash flow generation, including strong cash conversion in the third quarter. We are well positioned to fund our near-term growth initiatives while maintaining the financial flexibility to execute on our long-term strategy."

STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE

• Galveston LNG project progresses towards major milestones. The Company and its advisors have initiated the process of securing project financing, while simultaneously finalizing contracts for additional planned offtake from the facility. The Company is evaluating financing structures designed to minimize its required capital contribution while maintaining operational control over the project upon completion. A final investment decision is expected in early 2026 following completion of the financing process.

• Strong revenue growth in key markets. The Company recognized strong growth within its core end markets during the third quarter. Revenue from the marine end market increased 31.5% year-over-year, driven by robust seasonal demand in marine bunkering applications. Revenue from the aerospace market rose 88.3%, while power generation revenue grew 31.4%. Consistent with the Company's deliberate shift toward customers in higher growth markets, revenues from other sectors decreased 22.8% year-over-year, during the third quarter. The Company continues to pursue additional commercial opportunities across these sectors, supported by demand for LNG from a growing fleet of LNG-fueled marine vessels, increased commercial space flight activity, and LNG for distributed power applications including data center bridge and back-up power.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $20.3 million, an increase of 15.3% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to higher revenue from marine, aerospace and power generation customers, which drove higher volumes primarily from third party sources, coupled with higher natural gas prices. Third quarter revenue also reflects a decrease in revenue from other industrial customers, which partly offset growth in marine, aerospace and power generation markets.

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024. When compared to the prior year period, net income reflects higher revenues and a $0.3 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, offset by a reduction in income from our Chinese joint venture and the write-off of obsolete equipment.

Cash flow from operations was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.6 million in the third quarter of last year, primarily from net working capital changes. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.9 million, compared to $2.6 million, in year ago quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year is primarily attributable to higher demand within key high-growth end-markets.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections presented or implied and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "can," "believes," "feels," "anticipates," "expects," "could," "will," "plan," "may," "should," "predicts," "potential" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect our current beliefs, based on information currently available. Most of these factors are outside our control and are difficult to predict. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, among other things: the future performance of Stabilis, future demand for and price of LNG, availability and price of natural gas, unexpected costs, availability, timing and terms of financing, ability to achieve the conditions precedent to the marine bunkering agreement, ability to achieve additional offtake necessary to make a final investment decision for the planned LNG liquefaction facility, construction delays or cost overruns, regulatory or other legal impediments, and general economic conditions.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in the Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025 which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on the Investors section of our website at www.stabilis-solutions.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance and operating results of our business. EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest (includes interest income and interest expense), Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for certain special items that occur during the reporting period, as noted below. We include EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Accordingly, they should not be used as an indicator of, or an alternative to, net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements. Because the definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary among companies and industries, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands).
