Excelerate Energy Reports 37.5% Revenue Growth to $433.4 Million in Q1 2026

Excelerate Energy, Inc. reported significant financial performance for the first quarter of 2026, with total revenues reaching $433.4 million, a 37.5% increase from $315.1 million in the same period of 2025. The company's net income was $50.0 million, slightly down from $52.1 million year-over-year, primarily due to increased interest expenses and depreciation costs associated with its recent acquisition in Jamaica. Adjusted EBITDA also rose to $122.2 million, up from $100.4 million, reflecting strong operational performance despite the challenges faced.

The company experienced notable changes in its revenue streams, with LNG, gas, and power revenues increasing by $108.5 million to $275.2 million, largely attributed to the acquisition of New Fortress Energy's Jamaican operations. Terminal services revenues also grew by $9.9 million to $158.3 million, driven by higher contract rates and additional subcharter opportunities. However, the cost of LNG, gas, and power surged to $243.0 million, up from $160.8 million, reflecting the impact of the acquisition and increased operational costs.

Excelerate has made strategic advancements, including the delivery of a new floating regasification terminal, the Excelerate Acadia, which is expected to enhance its operational capacity. The company has also entered into a nine-month time charter agreement with Jordan's National Electric Power Company, further expanding its geographic footprint. As of March 31, 2026, Excelerate operated 11 floating regasification terminals and had completed over 3,900 ship-to-ship transfers of LNG, solidifying its position as a leading provider in several key markets.

Operationally, Excelerate's customer base and engagement metrics have shown growth, with a significant increase in LNG sales agreements contributing to its revenue. The company reported a decrease in cash flows from operating activities, which fell to $60.0 million from $154.8 million, primarily due to timing differences in collections and payments. The company maintained a strong liquidity position with $540.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the quarter.

Looking ahead, Excelerate anticipates continued challenges in the global LNG market due to geopolitical tensions affecting supply chains and pricing volatility. However, the company remains optimistic about its long-term growth prospects, with expectations of approximately 200 million tonnes of incremental LNG supply coming online by 2030, which could help stabilize market conditions. The company plans to leverage its strategic acquisitions and operational capabilities to navigate these challenges and capitalize on future opportunities.
