Current report
2027 under a seven-year term with multiple extension options. The contract secures long-term utilization of our assets and supports Colombia’s efforts to strengthen energy security and diversify its sources of natural gas supply. The agreement contemplates the redeployment of the FSRU Express. However, in response to the ongoing conflict in the Arabian Gulf, we expect to utilize other FSRUs in our portfolio located outside the Gulf to serve the terminal in the near term. This approach eliminates the need for an FSRU to transit the Strait of Hormuz to support the Colombia deployment.
Current report
In August 2026, we signed an agreement with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) for a five-year extension of the Sequoia contract beyond its previous term, extending our relationship with Petrobras through 2038. As part of the agreement, we will install a reliquefaction unit on Sequoia during its next scheduled dry dock in 2028. Once installed, the technology is expected to eliminate excess LNG losses due to boil-off, reduce Excelerate's Scope 1 emissions, and improve the terminal's operating performance and useful life. The agreement also provides for a modest increase in contracted revenue after the installation, generating incremental earnings ahead of the extension period.
Current report
We have executed an 11-year LNG supply agreement with AxDo Bahamas Ltd. (“AxDo”), a joint venture between Axpo, an international leader in energy trading and marketing, and Bahamas-based energy and maritime logistics company Domicisle LNG. The agreement will support development of the Bahamas LNG Hub, an offshore LNG storage and distribution terminal planned near Grand Bahama. Under the agreement, AxDo, established in October 2026 to conduct small-scale LNG and bunkering operations in the region, will serve as the anchor customer for the hub. The agreement provides for LNG deliveries of up to 16 TBtu per year for AxDo, with additional capacity available to support further sales to AxDo and other customers throughout the region. The Bahamas LNG Hub is designed to provide LNG storage and distribution services for marine bunkering, power generation, and other downstream customers in The Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean. Initial LNG deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, utilizing the existing FSRU, LNG supply, and logistics capabilities of the Company's Jamaica platform. A second phase is expected to include deployment of a floating storage unit (FSU) near Grand Bahama in the second half of 2028, subject to final permitting and construction timelines, and other contractual provisions.
Current report
During the third quarter of 2026, global LNG markets remained heavily influenced by geopolitical developments in the Middle East. LNG shipments through the Strait of Hormuz resumed gradually following the interim agreement between the United States and Iran in June 2026, subsequently reaching their highest monthly level in September 2026 since the conflict began. Renewed regional tensions, including attacks on commercial shipping vessels, and below-average European gas storage ahead of winter have increased supply constraints. Despite this, global LNG trade has proved resilient, increasing to approximately 101 million tonnes (“MT”) in the third quarter of 2026, up from 98 MT in the second quarter of 2026, and down only slightly from 106 MT in the third quarter of 2025.

Previous wording
Overall, the Middle East conflict has placed significant constraints on the near-term LNG market, limiting supply flexibility and heightening price volatility as buyers prioritize security of supply. The effects of the conflict have extended beyond LNG, influencing broader energy markets and reinforcing the importance of supply diversification and energy security. These dynamics continue to support investment in LNG, natural gas, and power infrastructure as countries seek to enhance the reliability and resilience of their energy systems. Over the longer term, however, the global LNG outlook remains constructive, with approximately 200 million tonnes of incremental LNG supply expected to come online by 2030. As these new volumes are delivered, they are expected to improve market liquidity, enhance diversification of supply, and alleviate structural tightness, helping to rebalance global LNG markets over time.

We have historically funded our business, including meeting our day-to-day operational requirements, repaying our indebtedness and funding capital expenditures, through debt financing, equity offerings, capital contributions and our operating cash flows as discussed below. We expect that our future principal uses of cash will also include additional capital expenditures to fund our growth strategy, pay income taxes and make distributions from EELP to fund income taxes, fund our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”), and pay cash dividends and distributions. Any determination to pay dividends to holders of our common stock and distributions to holders of EELP’s Class B interests will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, projections, liquidity, earnings, legal requirements, covenant compliance, restrictions on our existing and any future debt and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. In the future we may enter into arrangements to grow our business or acquire or invest in complementary businesses which could decrease our cash and cash equivalents and increase our cash requirements. As a result of these and other factors, we could use our available capital resources sooner than expected and may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing.
