Stabilis Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of clean fueling, production, storage, and last mile delivery solutions, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue for the quarter came in at $11.9 million, a decrease of 31.2% compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to the completion of large contracts in the marine and power generation sectors in Q4 of 2025.

Key Financial Highlights
The following table summarizes the key financial metrics for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior-year period:
| Metric: | Q2 2026 | Q2 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue: | $11,916 thousand | $17,309 thousand |
| Net Loss: | ($4,637) thousand | ($613) thousand |
| EPS (Basic & Diluted): | ($0.25) | ($0.03) |

Financial Performance Overview
Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was ($4.6) million, or ($0.25) per diluted share, compared to a loss of ($0.6) million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. The wider loss reflects lower revenues and $2.9 million in vessel charter expenses associated with a marine vessel charter that was terminated late in the second quarter. The charter had been entered into in anticipation of a customer commitment that did not materialize and was subsequently terminated. The company noted that with the charter now terminated, no further impact to earnings from this vessel charter is expected beyond the second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million compared to the prior year period, partially offsetting the impact of the charter costs.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.1 million, compared to $1.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year is primarily attributable to the completion of two large multi-year contracts during the fourth quarter of 2025. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $16,698 thousand, compared to $17,775 thousand in Q2 2025, with the increase in net loss driven largely by the $2,851 thousand in time charter expense incurred in the current period versus nil in the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, total assets stood at $99,352 thousand, up from $83,110 thousand as of December 31, 2025. The increase was driven in part by a significant rise in restricted cash and cash equivalents to $14,317 thousand from nil at year-end, reflecting $5.0 million in advance payments received in Q2 and $15.0 million received in Q1 from a customer associated with a contract expected to begin in early 2027. Total liabilities increased to $40,916 thousand from $16,438 thousand, primarily due to $19,320 thousand in noncurrent deferred revenue. Total stockholders' equity stood at $58,436 thousand, compared to $66,672 thousand at December 31, 2025, with accumulated deficit widening to ($45,714) thousand from ($37,001) thousand.

Commercial Developments and Outlook
During the quarter, Stabilis executed a new contract for behind-the-meter LNG power generation at an additional U.S. data center, with service expected to commence in Q3 2026. Significant capital investment and pre-commissioning work is also underway for a previously announced behind-the-meter LNG power generation contract at a U.S. data center, commencing Q1 2027. On the marine side, the company received a U.S. Coast Guard Letter of Recommendation on the Waterway Suitability Assessment for its proposed Galveston LNG facility, which remains in development.
Casey Crenshaw, Executive Chairman and Interim President & Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Momentum is building across our business as we prepare for the early-2027 launch of our largest customer contract to date, a multi-year agreement to supply LNG for behind-the-meter power generation at a U.S. data center. Our second-quarter results were in line with our expectations, and demand recovered from the first-quarter low, led by 71% year-over-year growth in revenues from aerospace customers." Crenshaw added that second-half revenues are expected to increase by over 50% compared to the first half of the year, and that 2027 is expected to be a record year for Stabilis, with revenues expected to ramp to well over $100 million for the full year.
How will the commencement of the largest customer contract in early 2027 impact Stabilis's cash flow structure and margin profile compared to current operations?
What specific risks remain for the Galveston LNG facility following the receipt of the U.S. Coast Guard Letter of Recommendation, and what is the projected timeline for operational readiness?
Given the 71% year-over-year growth in aerospace revenues, is this segment expected to become a primary driver of profitability, or will it remain a niche contributor relative to the data center contracts?
