Q3 2021 Highlights and Recent Events:

Financial:

  • Revenues increased by $9.7 million from Q3 2020 to $10.5 million in Q3 2021 following the delivery of our first two vessels, Avenir Advantage and Avenir Accolade in October 2020 and March 2021, respectively.
  • In August 2021, our terminal in Sardinia has commenced its commercial operations. It has started the sales and distribution of LNG truckloads to a number of customers.
  • EBITDA of $3.2 million, an increase of $7.9 million from Q3 2020 and has turned positive.

Post balance sheet events:

  • Delivery of our third newbuild dual purpose LNG vessel, Avenir Aspiration, in October 2021. She is currently in the Baltics for some bunkering test operations and will be in the Mediterranean by beginning of 2022 to commence servicing our terminal in Sardinia.
  • Successfully completed the financing of our remaining newbuilding vessels.  

Business Review:

COVID-19

Although significant uncertainty remains regarding the progression of the COVID pandemic globally, we do not expect to see any incremental impact in relation to the remainder of our ship-building program. This assumes no further restrictions are imposed in relation to the movement of teams engaged in the ship-building program. The Company will continue to take all necessary steps to mitigate risks to employees and operations.

Business Development

Avenir LNG supplies customers across a broad range of demand segments ranging from residential consumers to large industrial gas users. The impact of recent record-high global gas prices has manifested itself differently dependent on the end-use segment of our customers. Sustained high gas prices have the potential to drive delay in customers making switching decisions to LNG and/or demand destruction in certain segments in the near-term. The outlook for gas prices in the near-term presents a risk to our business which we are monitoring closely.

Despite short-term pressures driven by the high gas price we maintain a bullish view on the demand potential for LNG in Sardinia, serviced by our HIGAS terminal. Our pipeline of opportunities for customers to switch to LNG across Sardinia remains robust, although we will likely see some delay in customers switching to LNG driven by the current pricing environment. In the longer-term the fundamentals for increased gas penetration across the island remain strong.

LNG Bunkering remains the stand-out growth segment in small-scale LNG. The orderbook of new LNG fueled tonnage remains incredibly robust and shows no signs of slowing. Avenir LNG is well positioned to serve the market with all of our ships being bunker capable, in addition to being highly efficient LNG supply vessels.
