Forward guidance

Navigator Gas anticipates materially higher throughput at the Ethylene Export Terminal in Q2 2025 due to decreasing U.S. domestic ethylene prices and re-expanding arbitrage opportunities. The company expects to contract additional capacity throughout 2025 and is assessing options to raise additional debt to recoup cash reserves used for the Terminal Expansion Project.

Tailwinds

  • Expect materially higher throughput at the Ethylene Export Terminal in Q2 2025.
  • Additional Ethylene Export Terminal capacity is expected to be contracted throughout 2025.
  • Resolution of the going concern doubt following the signing of the May 2025 Facility.
  • New $50 million share repurchase plan authorized.
  • Expect to repurchase approximately $3.3 million of common stock as part of the Return of Capital policy.

Headwinds

  • Arbitrage between U.S. and Asia for ethylene remained too narrow for significant flows in Q1 2025.
  • Share of result of equity method investments was a loss in Q1 2025 compared to a gain in Q1 2024.
  • Volumes exported through the Ethylene Export Terminal were significantly lower in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024.
  • Anticipate potentially raising additional debt in 2025.
  • Ongoing investigation by Indonesian authorities involving a director of the PTNK joint venture.
