Land-Based LNG Import Terminal 6 Floating Storage & Regasification (FSRU) Takes half the time to build Approximately half the cost Flexibility to be moved to another location or trade as an LNG transport vessel Three out of four newcomers to LNG imports in 2015 will use FSRUs Agenda The LNG Value Chain Höegh LNG Partners in Brief LNG Market Developments Summary 7 HMLP FSRU Business Model 8 Focus on stable cash-flows Critical infrastructure on long term contracts especially well suited to MLPs Newbuild assets of critical size with latest technology Leading utility customers Growth feeding through from parent − HLNG always has at least one FSRU without contract under construction − In-house design and project execution teams − Integrated FSRU solutions HMLP Fleet and Future HMLP’s fleet is serving in China (Cape Ann), Indonesia (Lampung) and as a carrier (Neptune) FSRU Independence serving in Lithuania – announcement awaiting consents FSRU Gallant went on contract in Egypt in April 2015 – 2H2015 dropdown targeted HMLP Fleet GDF Suez Neptune PGN FSRU Lampung 9 Future Dropdown Candidates GDF Suez Cape Ann FSRU Independence FSRU Independence Höegh Grace Höegh Gallant Newbuildings Unit Current HMLP Fleet GDF Suez Neptune GDF Suez Cape Ann PGN FSRU Lampung Type Ownership FSRU FSRU FSRU 50% 50% (1) 100% Dropdown Candidates at HLNG Independence FSRU Höegh Gallant FSRU Höegh Grace FSRU HN2552 FSRU Built Charterer 2009 2010 2014 Engie (2) Engie PGN 2014 2014 2015E 2017E 20 14 20 16 20 18 20 20 20 22 20 24 20 26 20 28 20 30 20 32 20 34 Contract Summary ABKN EGAS SPEC Open Firm contract Modern technically advanced fleet averaging 2.8 years after Independence(3) 10 (1) (2) (3) Long-term charters averaging 14.7 years after Independence(3) Economic interest; ownership interest 49% Previously GDF-Suez Current fleet including Independence, as of March 31, 2015 Leading utility customers Option Fixed contracts with substantial opex passthrough TBD Contracted dropdown candidates Progress on Dropdown Pipeline FLNG development underway Delivery 1Q2017 Pending Current Independence HMLP Fleet (Part 1) 11 Port Meridian Expected on-hire mid 2016 On-hire Apr 2015 MLP has an option to purchase assets with charter contracts of 5+ years Höegh Gallant Independence (Part 2) Höegh Grace HN 2552 Additional FSRU Newbuildings / Acquisitions LNG carriers Related LNG infrastructure (e.g. Moorings) 3rd party acquisitions Other Potential Assets Agenda The LNG Value Chain Höegh LNG Partners in Brief LNG Market Developments Summary 12 LNG Demand Picture Global LNG trade is set to expand by one-third from 2014 to 2019 Increase in global LNG trade supported by Asia – mostly China and non-OECD Asia New markets opening up in Latin America and Middle East Source: IEA (2014a), Medium-Term Gas Market Report 2014, OECD/IEA Paris(1) (1) 13 © OECD/IEA/ Anne-Sophie CORBEAU, Anne BRAAKSMA, Farid HUSSIN, Yayoi YAGOTO and Takuro YAMAMOTO 2014, The Asian Quest for LNG in a Globalising Market, IEA Publishing. License: http://www.iea.org/t&c/termsandconditions/ Lower Crude Oil Prices Lead To Lower LNG Prices (Up to a Point)… 70% of the LNG world wide is currently sold under long term contracts linked to oil…. Asian LNG contract prices are typically at around 85% of crude oil parity Continental European contract prices are typically at 60-65% of crude oil parity S- curve (cap and floor) is limiting price fluctuations … the remainder is linked to natural gas hubs and/or sold spot Spot prices have dropped significantly as a result of the drop in oil price − 60% y/y in Asia − 30% y/y in Europe U.S. export starting later this year will introduce a new HH dynamic to the market 14 …Lower LNG Prices Lead to Increased Demand for LNG Lower LNG prices makes LNG available to price sensitive and new clients/markets India is a good example; Petronet expects LNG demand to increase up to 300% at current LNG price level 60 50 MTPA 40 30 20 10 0 $/MMBtu 19-20 15 16-17 13-14 11-12 Source: Petronet LNG …and LNG Infrastructure: FSRU Projects in The Pipeline 10 8 6 2 4 2 5 4 3 0 8 2 1 1 1 FSRU operation Firm FSRU project Modern Exclusive potential FSRU project HLNG’s FSRU focus for new projects 16 First generation Old 1 Agenda The LNG Value Chain Höegh LNG Partners in brief LNG Market Developments Summary 17 Summary HLNG / HMLP is the market leader in the FSRU segment on a world-wide basis Stable cash flows from critical infrastructure on long term contract especially well suited to MLPs The LNG market is projected to grow 5-6% per year over the next 10 years FSRUs have over the last 3-4 years become the preferred LNG import solution for new markets due to low cost, short schedule and increased flexibility compared to a land based terminal Lower LNG prices increase demand for LNG → increased demand for LNG import infrastructure and increased demand for FSRUs 18 Thank you!
