"Disregarding non-recurring items, we are pleased that the underlying results for the quarter are record high with EBITDA of around US$41 million and a net profit of around US$11 million. While Höegh LNG so far in 2017 has experienced delays regarding FSRU contracts with future start-up dates, the activity in the FSRU and LNGC markets is high, as confirmed from our novel FSRU/LNGC contract with Gas Natural Fenosa. We remain confident that we will secure additional long term contracts to supplement our current backlog and fleet employment. We are further pleased to see that the strong financial platform of Höegh LNG is facilitating further diversification of debt and equity funding sources supporting the growth of the company."
