Revenue Increases 45% From Same Quarter Last Year
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2022 / Stabilis Solutions, Inc. ("Stabilis" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SLNG), a leading provider of clean energy production, storage, and delivery solutions to multiple end markets, today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, Stabilis reported revenues of $25.8 million, an increase of 12% sequentially and 45% higher than the third quarter of last year.
Net Income from continuing operations was $1.0 million in the quarter, compared to a loss of $2.1 million in second quarter of 2022 and a loss of $4.6 million in the third quarter of last year.
Net loss was $0.3 million in the quarter, compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $4.6 million in the third quarter of last year.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure, was $2.3 million in the quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $1.4 million in the third quarter of last year. Adjustments for special items during the quarter included the subtraction of $0.9 million related to the unrealized gain on natural gas derivatives.
Westy Ballard, President and CEO, commented, "I am pleased by the profitability in the quarter along with the solid revenue sequentially, year on year, and across a variety of industries. We are also beginning to see highlights from several of our strategic initiatives. While still in the early stages, aerospace and marine bunkering combined for 23% of our revenues in the quarter, compared to roughly 5% in all of 2021."
On October 31, 2022, the Company divested its Brazilian operations. This business focused on electrical solutions primarily for the oil & gas industry in Brazil. Accordingly, the Brazilian business is reflected as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the results for the third quarter and all comparative periods.
Ballard continued, "Our electrical business in Brazil has a history of delivering quality products and services and after careful review, we determined that it was no longer a strategic fit with our vision moving forward. Exiting this business allows us to focus both our management and financial resources on executing the exciting growth opportunities we have ahead of us."

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 from continuing operations 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 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 loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands).
