Production vs. consumption growth (three-month rolling, y-o-y)
Consumption > production = high natural gas pricesConsumption > production = high natural gas prices
• Natural gas production is currently 8% below last year’s levels• Natural gas demand is currently 10% above last year’s levels (colder than normal winter + improved
industrial demand)

A Good Margin Business
• Based on L.T. Contract– Vessel Cost = $170M– Hire Rate = $65,000/day– Opex = $10,000/day– Drydocking Cost = $2,300/Day– Period of Hire = 20 years- Interest rate = 5,9 % incl. margin
• Equity IRR = 19.1% @ 80% Debt funding• Equity IRR = 27.5% @ 90% Debt funding• The Actual IRR is likely to improve further as a function
of tax lease financing, higher degree of leverage and longer life.
