CEO Commentary:

We are pleased to report solid financial results for the first quarter of 2026. Net Income for the period was $17.4 million, or $0.43 per common unit, supported by 95.1% fleet utilization and Adjusted EBITDA of $24.3 million.

The LNG shipping market has shown resilience during the first half of 2026, against a backdrop of significant geopolitical disruption. Following the escalation of hostilities involving Iran and the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz, approximately 20% of global LNG supply was removed from the market during March and April. The resulting shortfall has been largely offset by U.S. export growth, with U.S. volumes running approximately 18% above full-year 2025 levels on an annualized basis. Global LNG trade volumes continued to expand as the redirection of trade flows from the Atlantic Basin to Asia has lengthened average sailing distances and increased ton-mile demand, tightening vessel availability and driving LNG carrier charter rates sharply higher. While these dynamics are supportive for the broader LNG shipping sector, the Partnership’s fleet is fully contracted under long-term charters and therefore does not have direct exposure to these Market movements.

As of May 29, 2026, the Partnership had estimated contracted time charter coverage for 100%, 100%, and 65% of its fleet estimated Available Days for 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively, with an estimated contracted revenue backlog of $0.78 billion and an average remaining contract term of 4.7 years.

With respect to charter developments, we are pleased to report that the Clean Energy was redelivered from her previous charter with SEFE in early April 2026 and was successfully delivered under her new time charter with Rio Grande at the end of April 2026. The new charter with Rio Grande is at a higher daily rate than the previous SEFE charter and is expected to be accretive to the Partnership’s revenues and cash flows going forward.

With respect to the ongoing Russian sanctions environment, the Partnership continues to monitor developments, including the E.U.’s 19th sanctions package, with which the Partnership is required to comply. For a detailed discussion, please refer to the “Russian Sanctions Developments” section of this press release.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined capital allocation, continued balance sheet deleveraging, and returning capital to our unitholders in a sustainable manner.
