STABILIS SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) is an energy transition company that provides turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions primarily using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to multiple end markets.
The Company serves customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, energy, industrial, marine bunkering, mining, pipeline, remote power and utility markets. LNG can be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is unavailable, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. Additionally, LNG can be used as a partner fuel for renewable energy, and as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil (including diesel fuel and other fuel oils) and propane, among others, to provide both environmental and economic benefits. Increasingly, LNG is being utilized as a transportation fuel in the marine industry and as a propellant in the private rocket launch sector. We believe that these fuel markets are large and provide significant opportunities for LNG usage.
The Company also builds power and control systems for the energy industry in China through its 40% owned Chinese joint venture, BOMAY Electric Industries, Inc (“BOMAY”). BOMAY is accounted for under the equity method.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to prevent the information presented herein from being misleading. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented arenot necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended* December 31, 2023* included in the Company's Annual Report on Form10-K, as filed on* March 7,*2024.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include the fair value of natural gas derivatives, the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified $4.2 million from accrued expenses to accounts payable at* December 31, 2023,to conform to current presentation resulting inno* effect to results of operations or cash flows.
Derivative Instruments
The Company had certain natural gas derivative instruments as of* September 30, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*. At* September 30, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*, the fair value of the Company's derivatives was $0.2 million and $0, respectively. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as a hedge as well as the type of hedge. The Company hasnot designated its derivatives as hedges under U.S. GAAP. The Company didnot enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Periodically, the Company enters into forward sales contracts for the delivery of LNG to its customers. Certain of these sales contracts contain provisions that* maymeet the criteria of a derivative in the event delivery isnot* made. These contracts are accounted for under the normal purchase normal sales exclusion under U.S. GAAP and arenot measured at fair value each reporting period. See Note3 for a further discussion of our derivatives.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenues when the transfer of promised goods or services are delivered to our customers in accordance with the applicable customer contract and we are entitled to be paid by the customer. Revenues are measured as consideration specified in the contract and exclude any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf ofthird parties. Certain contracts* may*include multiple goods or services such as the usage of equipment and delivery of field support services that are bundled into an all-in price to the customer for each gallon of LNG delivered. Revenue recognition under these contracts requires significant judgment by the Company in order to determine the appropriate accounting for these transactions, including whether performance obligations should be accounted for separately versus together, how the price should be allocated among the performance obligations, and when to recognize revenue for each performance obligation. The Company has determined that these contracts have multiple performance obligations and the Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation using its best estimates of the respective standalone selling price of each distinct good or service at the time the contract was negotiated.
Revenues from contracts with customers are disaggregated into (1) LNG Product (2) rental (3) service and (4) other.
LNG Product revenues
LNG Product revenues represent the sale of LNG from both produced and purchased sources as well as the transportation performed to deliver the LNG to our customers' locations. LNG Product revenues are recognized upon delivery of the LNG to the customer, at which point the customer controls the product and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company acts as a principal when using* third party transportation companies and therefore recognizes the gross revenue for the supply of LNG. The Company doesnot differentiate between the revenue from the sale of LNG production and purchased LNG as the criteria for revenue recognition are identical. Some of our contracts contain minimum take-or-pay amounts where a customer has agreed to source a minimum volume of LNG under the contract. Take or pay revenues are only recognized when the customer has failed to take the minimum contracted volumes upon completion of the time period specified within the contract and the Company has the unconditional right to receive payment for the take or pay amount. Certain of our sales contracts contain provisions that maymeet the criteria of a derivative in the event delivery isnot* made. These contracts are accounted for under the normal purchase normal sales exclusion under U.S. GAAP and arenot measured at fair value each reporting period. Our LNG contracts are generallyone to24 months in duration.
Rental revenues
Rental revenues are generated from the rental of cryogenic equipment to our customers. Revenues related to rental of equipment are recognized under Topic606 andnot ASC842: Leases, as the Company maintains control of the equipment that the customer uses and can replace the rented equipment with similar equipment should the rented equipment become inoperable or the Company chooses to replace the equipment for maintenance purposes. Rental revenues based upon day rates or monthly rates for the use of equipment as specifically established within the contract are recognized as the rental period is completed and for periods that cross month end, revenue is recognized for the portion of the rental period that has been completed to date. Performance obligations for rental revenue are considered to be satisfied as the rental period is completed based upon the terms of the related contract. Rental revenues from contracts with bundled pricing are based upon the fair value of the pricing components at the time the contract was negotiated and are recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied in accordance with the contract. The stated rental rates within each contract are representative of the stand-alone rental rates at the time the contract was negotiated.
Service revenues
Service revenues are generated from engineering and field support services and represent the human resources provided to the customer to support the use of LNG at the customer’s job site. These include support and costs for mobilization and demobilization of equipment at customer sites as well as onsite technical support while customers are consuming LNG. Service revenues that arenot dependent upon the gallons delivered or rental period but based upon the specific contractual terms and can be based on an event (i.e. mobilization or demobilization) or an hourly rate as specifically established within the contract and are recognized as the event is completed or work is done. Service revenues from contracts with bundled pricing are based upon the fair value of the pricing components at the time the contract was negotiated and are recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied in accordance with the contract. The stated hourly labor rates in each contract are representative of the stand-alone hourly rates at the time the contract was negotiated.
Other revenues
Other revenues* *are items that, due to their nature, are disaggregated from the categories mentioned above such as expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of the customer that we contractually rebill to our customers on a cost-plus basis.
Disaggregated revenues
The table below presents revenue disaggregated by source, for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2024and2023* (in thousands):

| Total revenues | $17,627 | $15,316 | $55,995 | $55,065 |
Variable and other Revenue Components
Certain of our contracts* mayinclude rental or service components at stated rates within the contract that vary depending on customer demand and are satisfied as the work is authorized by the customer and performed by the Company. Additionally, LNG product sales agreements may*include both fixed and variable fees per gallon of LNG but are representative of the stand-alone selling price for LNG at the time the contract was negotiated. We have concluded that the variable LNG fees meet the exception for allocating variable consideration to specific parts of the contract. As such, the variable consideration for these contracts is allocated to each distinct gallon of LNG and recognized when that distinct gallon of LNG is delivered to the customer.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, such as sales, use and value-added taxes, are excluded from revenue.
During thefourth quarter of2023, the Company entered into atwo-year marine bunkering contract with a new customer which represents approximately 31% and 34% of the Company's revenue for thethree and thenine months ended* September 30, 2024*, respectively.
3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
As of* September 30, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*, the Company held a series of call options (the "Call Options”) for the purchase of natural gas related to customer commitments. The Call Options are for a total of 0.5 million MMBtu (million British thermal units) and 0.3 million MMBtu of natural gas at* September 30, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*, respectively. The Company purchased the Call Options to manage the risk of increasing natural gas prices above what it can charge its customers. The Company* mayalso enter into other derivative transactions when beneficial. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Call Options are predominantly determined from broker quotes and are considered a level2* fair value measurement. The following table presents the location and fair value of the Call Options at* September 30, 2024* and* December 31, 2023* (in thousands):

| Net remaining basis difference at end of period | $495 | $592 |
In accordance with our long-lived asset policy, when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset* may**not* be recoverable, management tests long-lived assets for impairment. If the estimated future cash flows are projected to be less than the carrying amount, an impairment write-down (representing the carrying amount of the long-lived asset which exceeds the present value of estimated expected future cash flows) would be recorded as a period expense. In making this evaluation, a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors are considered including national and local economic, political and market conditions, industry trends and prospects, liquidity and capital resources and other pertinent factors. Based on this evaluation for this reporting period, the Company doesnot believe an impairment of our investment in BOMAY is necessary for the period ending* September 30, 2024*.
