Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this communication other than historical information are forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and relate to future events, our future financial performance or our projected business results. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “expects,” “may,” “will,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these terms or other comparable words. Forward looking statements include but are not limited to, the investigation of and remediation efforts related to the mechanical failure of the Company’s Fast FLNG unit; the disruption of production at the Fast FLNG unit; and the Company’s efforts and timeline for a return to normal operations of the Fast FLNG unit.
These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates based upon current information and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Actual results or events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the cause of the mechanical failure of the Fast FLNG unit; the Company’s ability to resolve the mechanical issues and return the Fast FLNG unit to normal operations; the Company’s ability to source replacement liquified natural gas on the spot market, if necessary, or at commercially feasible prices; further production delays and schedule changes; potential nonpayment or nonperformance of obligations under existing contracts; potential challenges with commercial counterparties, or other regulatory or legal challenges; and other unknown and unforeseen risks related to the operation of the Fast LNG unit. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of NFE’s forward-looking statements. Other known or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no duty to update or revise these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements included in NFE’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
