Forward looking statements
2
This presentation contains forward-looking statements which reflects management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about Höegh LNG’s
operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities and events that will, should, could or may occur in the future are
forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,”
“propose,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and
are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Unless legally required, Höegh
LNG undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changes in LNG transportation
and regasification market trends; changes in the supply and demand for LNG; changes in trading patterns; changes in applicable maintenance and regulatory
standards; political events affecting production and consumption of LNG and Höegh LNG’s ability to operate and control its vessels; change in the financial
stability of clients of the Company; Höegh LNG’s ability to win upcoming tenders and securing employment for the FSRUs on order; changes in Höegh LNG’s
ability to convert LNG carriers to FSRUs including the cost and time of completing such conversions; changes in Höegh LNG’s ability to complete and deliver
projects awarded; changes to the Company’s cost base; changes in the availability of vessels to purchase; failure by yards to comply with delivery schedules;
changes to vessels’ useful lives; changes in the ability of Höegh LNG to obtain additional financing, including the impact from changes in financial markets;
changes in the ability to achieve commercial success for the projects being developed by the Company; changes in applicable regulations and laws; and
unpredictable or unknown factors herein also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.
