Nakilat - Solid revenue backlog drives resilient earnings

Nakilat’s cost optimisation efforts have yielded positive results this year. The company’s opex per day declined by 17.6% between 4Q19
and 3Q20 to USD 17,416pd. The company has taken over operational maintenance of six LNG vessels from Shell in 9M2020 despite the
challenges imposed due to COVID-19. In addition, the company’s general and administrative expenses dwindled 32.8% YoY in 3Q20. We
expect operating expenses to decrease further as the company will eventually overtake operational maintenance of the remaining nine
LNG vessels from Shell. As such, we project Nakilat’s adjusted EBITDA margin to expand from 70.7% in 2019 to 82% in 2022.
