Excelerate Energy Raises FY 2025 Guidance and Reports Jamaica Acquisition Pro Forma Financial Results


Excelerate Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EE) (the “Company” or “Excelerate”) today raised its full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range and filed a Form 8-K/A with pro forma financial results related to the acquisition of New Fortress Energy Inc.’s (“Seller”) business in Jamaica.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Excelerate closed its acquisition of the integrated LNG and power platform in Jamaica in May 2025 (the “Jamaica Acquisition”)
  • Following the closing of the Jamaica Acquisition, the Company now expects full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to range between $420 million and $440 million
  • The Company has filed a Form 8-K/A with pro forma financial information that incorporates the Seller’s historical results from its Jamaica operations
  • The pro forma financial results include certain cost allocations to the Jamaica business based on assumptions and methodologies specific to the Seller
  • After removing these Seller-specific cost allocations, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for both the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and the full year ended 2024 are aligned with Excelerate management expectations
  • A slide presentation with a reconciliation of the pro forma financial results and updated full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range is available on the Company’s IR website

CEO COMMENT

“Our recent acquisition in Jamaica marks a significant milestone in Excelerate’s strategic vision to become a provider of critical last-mile energy infrastructure,” said Steven Kobos, President and CEO of Excelerate. “We are pleased to raise our full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance and report that integration is proceeding as planned with the platform meeting or exceeding our targets for reliability and operational performance.”

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Included in this press release is Adjusted EBITDA, which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. This measure is designed to supplement, and not substitute, Excelerate’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure as defined by Excelerate may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. The presentation of such measure, which may include adjustments to exclude non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that Excelerate’s future results, cash flows or leverage will be unaffected by other non-recurring items. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating the Company’s performance and valuation. The Company has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, because it is not possible to estimate, without unreasonable effort, the Company’s income taxes with the level of required precision. Accordingly, the Company has reconciled this non-GAAP measure to its estimated income before taxes in the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)” below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion, non-cash long-term incentive compensation expense and items such as charges and non-recurring expenses that management does not consider as part of assessing ongoing operating performance.

The Company adjusts net income for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. This measure has limitations as certain excluded items are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The Company's computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For the foregoing reasons, Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of our profitability and valuation, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.
