Golar LNG Limited (“Golar”) announces today that it has entered into two swap arrangements for its Dutch Title Transfer Facility (“TTF”) linked production on the FLNG Hilli:
- Q4 2022: Hedged approximately 50% of TTF linked production at $70.0/MMBtu. Golar’s share of the TTF linked Distributable Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 at $70.0/MMBtu is expected to be $56 million, of which $28 million is hedged. We remain exposed for the remaining 50% of our Q4 2022 TTF linked production. A TTF price of $70.0/MMBtu is the energy equivalent to a Brent oil price of approximately $412/bbl.
- Full year 2023: Hedged 50% of 2023 TTF linked production at $50.5/MMBtu. As announced on our Q2 earnings results on 11 August, we have previously hedged 50% of 2023 TTF linked production at $49.5/MMBtu. Hence Golar is now fully hedged for its 2023 TTF price exposure at an average price of $50.0/MMBtu. We expect to generate 2023 Distributable Adjusted EBITDA from TTF linked production of $150 million. A TTF price of $50.0/MMBtu is the energy equivalent to a Brent oil price of approximately $294/bbl.
The hedging transaction secures cash flow visibility at attractive historical levels for TTF gas prices and will generate significant free cash flow to equity for Golar.
