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 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.

 

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 within this report 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 are not 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, 2024 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on February 25, 2025.

 

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 determination of fair value of equity-based awards, fair value of natural gas derivatives, 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.

 

Segment Reporting

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - "Segment Reporting (ASC 280)" the Company has determined that it has a single operating and reporting segment. As a result, the Company's segment accounting policies are the same as described herein and the Company does not have any material intra-segment sales and transfers of assets. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO"). The CEO, with the Chief Financial Officer assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Company on a consolidated basis, based on the Company's net increase in shareholder's equity resulting from operations ("net income"). Company assets are not reviewed by the CODM at a different asset level or category, but at the consolidated level. As the Company's operations are comprised of a single operating segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as "total assets" and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company had certain natural gas derivative instruments as of  March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company's derivatives was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, 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 has not designated its derivatives as hedges under U.S. GAAP. The Company did not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The Company enters into forward sales contracts for the delivery of LNG to its customers. Certain of these sales contracts contain provisions that may meet the criteria of a derivative in the event delivery is not made. These contracts are accounted for under the normal purchase normal sales exclusion under U.S. GAAP and are not measured at fair value each reporting period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which requires companies to disclose disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The requirements can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Although early adoption is permitted, the Company will adopt the pronouncement when the pronouncement becomes effective on January 1, 2027. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under ASU 2023-09, companies must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and further disaggregate income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for companies for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
