FLNG Hilli: Hilli has offloaded its 142nd cargo. The existing charter contract in Cameroon ends in July 2026. During Q3 2025, Golar selected Seatrium shipyard for the re-deployment scope following the unit's exit from Cameroon and before starting 20-years of operations in Argentina. Hilli is expected to enter Seatrium's Singapore yard in the third quarter of 2026 for upgrades and life extension works before arriving in Argentina for its charter with SESA during Q2 2027.
Key commercial terms for Hilli's 20-year SESA agreement in Argentina include Adjusted EBITDA1 to Golar of \$285 million per year, with an additional commodity linked FLNG tariff component of 25% of FOB prices in excess of \$8/MMBtu. This will add approximately \$30 million of potential annual upside to Golar for every US dollar the achieved FOB price is above the reference price of \$8/MMBtu.
The current contractual Hilli sale leaseback financing facility has an outstanding balance at Q3 2025 of \$524 million. Subject to pace of incremental FLNG growth units, we target to optimize the debt facility on Hilli on the back of her strong earnings visibility and proven operational track record.
FLNG Gimi: Gimi is in the process of offloading its 14th cargo under her 20-year charter to BP offshore Mauritania and Senegal. The vessel is operating well and is in its contractual post-COD appraisal period. During Q3 and into Q4, equipment was tuned to optimize performance. Production is now frequently exceeding base capacity, further operational efficiencies are expected. Golar owns 70% of Gimi, and the Company's share of the net earnings backlog1 for the 20-year contract duration is expected to be approximately \$3 billion.
Golar is actively working with the GTA partners to identify and develop value enhancing initiatives for the GTA project, including operational efficiencies and debottlenecking of production capacity to improve the project's unit economics.
Gimi MS Corporation is in advanced stages of entering into a new credit approved \$1.2 billion bank financing agreement for Gimi. The facility is estimated to close within Q4 2025.
3.5 MTPA MKII FLNG conversion: During the quarter and subsequent month, FID and all conditions precedent and customary closing conditions in connection with the 20-year charter of Golar's 3.5 MTPA MKII FLNG to SESA were satisfied. This follows the execution of definitive agreements in May 2025. The project has received all key governmental approvals, including an unrestricted 30-year LNG export authorization in Argentina, and qualification as Strategic Investment under the Large Investments Incentive Regime ("RIGI").
The 20-year charter of the MKII FLNG solidifies \$8 billion of Adjusted EBITDA backlog1 over 20 years, equivalent to \$400 million in annual Adjusted EBITDA1 to Golar, before commodity exposure and inflationary adjustments. The commodity linked tariff component will add approximately \$40 million of potential annual upside to Golar for every US dollar the achieved FOB price is above the reference price of \$8/MMBtu. The MKII FLNG will be deployed in the Gulf of San Matías, offshore Argentina, where it will operate in proximity to Hilli.
The MKII FLNG is currently under conversion with a total budget of \$2.2 billion. Conversion work is proceeding to schedule. As of September 30, 2025, Golar had spent \$1.0 billion on the conversion, all currently equity funded. The conversion work is scheduled to complete in Q4 2027. The FLNG unit will then sail to Argentina with contract start-up expected during 2028.
We are evaluating asset level financing on the back of the confirmed 20-year charter of the MKII FLNG where proceeds can be directed towards attractive FLNG growth opportunities.
Southern Energy: SESA is a company formed to enable LNG exports from Argentina. SESA is owned by a consortium of leading Argentinian gas producers including Pan American Energy (30%), YPF (25%), Pampa Energia (20%) and Harbour Energy (15%), as well as Golar (10%).
Golar's 10% ownership of SESA provides additional commodity exposure. With both FLNGs operational, the 10% equity stake equates to additional commodity exposure to Golar for every US dollar/MMBtu change in achieved FOB prices above or below SESA's cash break even. Combined with the commodity exposure in the FLNG charters Golar's total commodity exposure for the FLNG charter contracts and through our ownership in SESA is therefore approximately \$100m for every \$1 the FOB
price is above \$8/MMBtu with a downside of \$28m for every \$1 the FOB price is below SESA's cash break even.
Business development: With Golar's existing FLNG assets on long term contracts and continued momentum for FLNG projects globally, we are increasing focus on attractive FLNG growth projects.
Recent announcements of additional FLNGs in Mozambique and Indonesia to liquify resource holders' own gas in addition to Golar's now concluded projects in Argentina to liquify third party gas, collectively reflect a growing industry recognition of the benefits of FLNG solutions. Golar remains the only proven provider of FLNG as a service.
Golar has entered into contracts with the three relevant shipyards for our MKI, MKII and MKIII FLNG designs to obtain updated pricing, delivery and payment terms for a contemplated 4th FLNG order. Competition for long lead items from industrial applications, including AI data centers, is increasingly affecting delivery timelines. The majority of the long lead items are interchangeable between the different designs but vary in magnitude and size of equipment. In order to safeguard an attractive timeline for our next FLNG we are planning to order long lead equipment during Q4 2025. We have also inspected suitable donor vessels for our MKI and MKII designs. The current state of the LNG shipping market allows for access to attractive conversion candidates.
Alongside the technical work stream we continue to develop our commercial pipeline, including potential expansion of existing clients' liquefaction plans and further developing projects with charterers that were competing for Hilli's redeployment and the first MKII contract as alternatives to the SESA contracts in Argentina. We continue to witness strong demand for FLNG to monetize stranded, associated and flared or re-injected gas reserves. The growing opportunity set includes new areas which currently do not employ FLNGs. We are pleased with strong counterparty engagement, including potential upstream partners and fiscal and export terms being developed with potential new LNG exporters. Golar remains on track to decide on the vessel design for its fourth FLNG in the coming months.
We see demand for several additional FLNG units in due course. Golar will maintain its policy of maximum one unchartered FLNG at a time.
Corporate/Other: Operating revenues and costs under corporate and other items are comprised of two legacy FSRU O&M agreements in respect of Italis LNG and LNG Croatia. The LNG Croatia contract concluded in late October 2025. The Italis LNG contract is expected to end in Q2 2026.
Shares and dividends: 102.4 million shares are issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Golar's Board of Directors approved a total Q3 2025 dividend of \$0.25 per share to be paid on or around November 24, 2025. The record date will be November 17, 2025.
On November 4, 2025 the board approved a new \$150 million share buyback program. The previous buyback program was fully utilized when the Company repurchased and subsequently cancelled 2.5 million shares in conjunction with the convertible bond offering in June 2025. In line with the Company's view of a strong balance sheet, \$17 billion Adjusted EBITDA backlog1 and attractive growth outlook the board see accretive value in continuing share buybacks.
On COD of Gimi in Q2 2025, a sales-type lease receivable was recognized in the balance sheet. The accounting for a sales-type lease is different to Golar's other commercial agreements, which have typically been accounted for as operating leases. In order to compare the performance of Gimi with our wider business, management determined that it will measure the performance of the Gimi sales-type lease based on Adjusted EBITDA1 modified by sales-type lease receivable in excess of interest income. This approach allows Golar to review the economic results of Gimi in a format consistent with Hilli.

Golar reports today Q3 2025 net income of \$46 million, before non-controlling interests, inclusive of \$12 million of non-cash items1 , comprised of:
The Brent oil linked component of Hilli's fees generates additional annual cash of approximately \$3.1 million for every dollar increase in Brent Crude prices between \$60 per barrel and the contractual ceiling. Billing of this component is based on a three-month look-back at average Brent Crude prices. During Q3 2025, we recognized a total of \$14 million of realized gains on Hilli's oil and gas derivative instruments, comprised of a:
We also recognized \$13 million of non-cash losses in relation to Hilli's oil and gas derivative assets, with corresponding changes in the fair value in its constituent parts recognized on our unaudited consolidated statement of operations as follows:
On September 25, 2025 Golar announced the pricing of a US documented and credit rated private offering of \$500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030. The 144A/Reg S denominated benchmark 5NC2 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per year, mature on October 2, 2030, were issued at par and will be senior unsecured obligations. The closing of the senior notes took place on October 2, 2025. Of the \$491 million proceeds net of fees, \$190 million was used to repay the outstanding principal balance of the 2021 Unsecured Bonds that matured on October 20, 2025.
Total Golar Cash1 of \$661 million as of September 30, 2025, comprised of \$611 million of cash and cash equivalents and \$50 million of restricted cash, increases to \$962 million after taking account of the net proceeds from the senior notes and repayment of the 2021 Unsecured Bonds in October 2025.
Golar's share of Contractual Debt1 as of September 30, 2025 is \$2,028 million. After deducting Total Golar Cash1 from Golar's share of Contractual Debt1 , the net debt position as of Q3 2025 amounted to \$1,367 million. Following the closing of the Notes and the maturity of the 2021 Unsecured Bonds in October 2025, Golar's share of Contractual Debt1 increases to \$2,338 million and the net debt position increases to \$1,376 million.
Asset under development amounts to \$1.0 billion, all of which relates to the MKII FLNG conversion project and all of which is currently equity funded.
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), this earnings release and the associated investor presentation contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures which are included in the table below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
This report also contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures for which we are unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside of our control, such as oil and gas prices and exchange rates, as such items may be significant. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future events which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied to Golar's unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not uniformly defined by all companies and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures used by other companies. The reconciliations as at September 30, 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Adjusted EBITDA backlog (also referred to as "earnings backlog"): This is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the share of contracted fee income for executed contracts, less forecasted operating expenses for these contracts/agreements. Adjusted EBITDA backlog should not be considered as an alternative to net income / (loss) or any other measure of our financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Non-cash items: Non-cash items comprised of impairment of long-lived assets, release of prior year contract underutilization liability, MTM movements on our TTF and Brent oil linked derivatives, listed equity securities and interest rate swaps ("IRS") which relate to the unrealized component of the gains/(losses) on oil and gas derivative instruments, unrealized MTM (losses)/gains on investment in listed equity securities, gains or losses on derivative instruments, net and gains or losses on recognition of sales type lease in our unaudited consolidated statement of operations.
FLNG tariff, net: This is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that represents the total cash inflow and economic performance generated by our FLNGs during a given period. It is calculated by taking the total amount invoiced for FLNG services, including liquefaction services revenue, sales-type lease revenue, vessel management fees and other revenue and realized gains on oil and gas derivative instruments, adjusted for the amortization of deferred commissioning period revenue, Day 1 gains (deferred revenues) and deferred pre-COD cashflows that is allocated to the non-lease component, the unwinding of liquidated damages, the accretion of unguaranteed residual value and the accruals and other timing related items including tax reimbursement receipt, underutilization, overproduction revenue and demurrage cost. FLNG tariff, net is intended to enhance the comparability of our FLNG performance across periods and with other operational FLNGs in the industry. FLNG tariff, net should not be considered as an alternative to total operating revenue of the FLNG segment or any other performance measure of our financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
