New Fortress Energy expects lower LNG volumes in fourth quarter
Rewrites throughout, adds details and background
HOUSTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) -Energy infrastructure company New Fortress Energy NFE.O expects slightly lower liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes in fourth quarter 2024 because of repairs it performed on a valve in October, CEOWesley Edens said on Thursday.
Itsfloating LNG facility offshore of Altamira, Mexico, completedits commissioning process and was operating at 105% of its 1.4 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) nameplatecapacity, Edens said on an earnings call.
"We are reducing our guidance in the fourth quarter modestly due to some maintenance we have taken here so we are going to have lower volumes in FLNG," Edens said. He did not disclose the new or original volume target.
NFE shares were up just under 2% at $9.70 in early trading as the company reported a third quarter adjusted profit of $176.2 million, up from $120 million in the second quarter. Net income was $11.3 million, or 5 cents a share, compared to a second-quarter net loss of $86.9 million, or 41 cents a share.
The power and liquefied natural gas developer this week said it aims to sell or take on partners to one or more of its businesses to improve its finances.
It had a shareholder dividend to preserve cash while it worked out a deal with bondholders to push back maturities. That deal refinanced its most pressing debt maturities into 2029.
NFE had reached an agreement with its bankers and bondholders for the refinancing of its debt to 2029 at 12% and as part of the refinancing raised over $300 million in new capital that will provide additional liquidity to the business, Edens said.
The company has started looking at plans to debottleneck the Altamira floating LNG facility, toadd between 3% and 10% more production capacity, Edens also said.
Edens said he expected President-elect Donald Trump will lead to more LNG capacity being built in the U.S. and possibly lower global LNG prices. That could help NFE utilize more of its assets in which 80% of its capacity is not used.
NFE exported its fourth LNG cargo on Thursday, Edens said.
