First Quarter Results
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2021,

million, a 29% sequential increase from the quarter ended December
31, 2020 and a 28% increase from the first quarter of 2020,
Stabilis’ previous record revenue quarter. The increase was largely
driven by growth in remote power generation projects, continued
expansion of the Company’s Mexico operations, and increased
activity with aerospace customers.
"Stabilis is executing on its plan to deliver
low cost and reliable energy transition fuels to its customers,"
said Jim Reddinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. "Our team’s outstanding performance has
led us to new business opportunities in both LNG and hydrogen
markets. Looking into 2021 and beyond, we expect continued
growth.”
Revenues from Stabilis' LNG segment totaled
$16.1 million, a 33% sequential increase from the quarter ended
December 31, 2020 and a 29% increase from the first quarter of
2020. The Company delivered 13.4 million gallons of LNG to
customers during the quarter, a 29% sequential increase compared to
the fourth quarter of 2020 and a 12% increase compared to the first
quarter of 2020. Revenues from Stabilis’ power delivery
segment decreased by 5% sequentially but increased 18% compared to
the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") improved to $2.7
million, or 15% of revenue during the first quarter, a 14%
improvement over the fourth quarter of 2020 and a 78% improvement
over the first quarter of 2020. There were no adjustments to EBITDA
during the periods covered. Net income for the first quarter of
2021 rose to $0.2 million compared to net losses of ($0.1 million)
in the fourth quarter of 2020 and ($1.1 million) during the first
quarter of 2020.Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 were
$3.1 million as compared with $1.8 million, as of December 31,
2020.
As previously announced, the Company also
secured a $10 million credit facility, commenced trading on the
Nasdaq, and executed an MOU to develop marine bunkering solutions
using LNG with the Port of Corpus Christi Authority. In
addition, the Company signed long-term customer contracts for up to

About Stabilis
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. is a vertically
integrated energy transition company that provides clean energy
solutions to our customers. Our solutions include small-scale
liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) production, distribution and fueling
services to multiple end markets in North America. Stabilis also
provides hydrogen fueling services to its customers. Stabilis has
safely delivered over 250 million gallons of LNG through more than
25,000 truck deliveries during its 16-year operating history in the
LNG industry, which we believe makes us one of the largest and most
experienced small-scale LNG providers in North America. Stabilis’
customers use LNG and hydrogen as fuel sources in a variety of
applications in the industrial, energy, mining, utilities and
pipelines, commercial, and high horsepower transportation markets.
Stabilis’ customers use LNG and hydrogen as alternatives to
traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil and propane,
to lower fuel costs and reduce harmful environmental emissions.
Stabilis’ customers also use LNG as a “virtual pipeline” solution
when natural gas pipelines are not available or volumes are
curtailed. To learn more, visit 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 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).
