Forward guidance

New Fortress Energy is focused on expanding its LNG infrastructure and operations. The company is developing long-term fixed price LNG supply and expects its projects in Mexico and Nicaragua to be operational in Q2 2021. NFE is also developing a 'Fast LNG' project anticipated to be operational by the end of 2022.

Tailwinds

  • Developing long-term fixed price LNG supply through Golar Hilli LLC acquisition.
  • Announced FID on floating liquefaction solution ('Fast LNG') expected to be Operational by end of 2022.
  • Projects in Mexico and Nicaragua are expected to be Operational in Q2 2021.
  • Awarded supply contract by CFE to supply ~250k gallons per day (GPD) of LNG.
  • Finalizing a framework agreement for a terminal in Southeast Asia expected to begin operations in 2H 2021.

Headwinds

  • Risk that development, construction, or commissioning schedules will take longer than expected.
  • Risk that volumes sold are less than expected due to decreased customer demand or inability to supply.
  • Risk that expectations about LNG purchase price, selling price, production cost, shipping cost, and margin are not met.
  • Risk that the Fast LNG project may not be developed on the expected timeline or at all.
  • Risk that operating or other costs will increase, and expected project funding may not be possible.
