Tellurian Reports 2023 Financial Results and Driftwood LNG Progress

Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian or the Company) (NYSE American: TELL) reported its full year 2023 financial results today. During 2023, Tellurian took significant steps to advance the Driftwood LNG project, having driven over 14,000 piles at site and making progress on concrete foundations for critical equipment thus de-risking site construction. Tellurian also secured the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Certificate for the Company’s pipelines (Lines 200 and 300) and continued to advance the fabrication of Baker Hughes zero-emissions ICL compressors for the pipeline.

Subsequent to year end, Tellurian amended its senior secured notes and senior convertible notes to provide financial flexibility. While Tellurian provided additional collateral relating to the Driftwood Project until the repayment of the senior secured notes, this should not interfere with the commercialization or financing of the Driftwood Project and Tellurian expects that its improved near-term liquidity will enable a higher degree of engagement with potential counterparties and financing sources.

Chief Executive Officer Octávio Simões said, “Tellurian ended 2023 with an exemplary safety record. Driftwood’s recent FERC order extension to construct all five plants, with a capacity of ~27.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), coupled with its non-free trade agreement export authorization, have differentiated the project and have intensified our commercial discussions. In addition, we have received very favorable feedback from interested parties on the potential sale of our upstream assets and believe our financial discipline will provide a sustainable path forward. As disclosed in our financial statements, we have made significant progress in executing our plans to alleviate substantial doubt.”

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and the results of the Company’s peers and of prior periods.

Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain charges or expenditures. Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance and should not be viewed as a substitute for any GAAP measure.

Management presents Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA because (i) it is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s position and performance are measured relative to the position and performance of its peers and (ii) it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts.
