“In line with our expectations, the freight market has become increasingly tighter in the second half of 2019 resulting in much more favourable market conditions despite low gas prices. Flex LNG has been very well positioned for the stronger market with ships available in the spot market as well as ships on variable rates linked to these freight rates. We are today delivering results in line with guidance for third quarter and our fourth quarter is booked at considerable higher rates with revenue expectations of about $50 to $55 million. During the year we have also secured close to $1.3bn of attractive long-term financing and this together with our in-house ship management company means we are well positioned for the journey ahead.”

In August 2019, the Company took delivery of its sixth newbuilding LNG carrier, Flex Courageous, which was built at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. ("DSME"). The vessel was delivered to a charterer ex-yard for her maiden voyage.

The Company currently has six vessels on the water and an additional seven newbuildings under construction, which are scheduled for delivery between the second quarter 2020 and the second quarter 2021. With such scale, we believe that Flex LNG has the ability to be present in all three major basins (the Atlantic Basin, Pacific Basin, and Middle East Basin) providing for enhanced customer relationships, increased vessel utilization and shorter distance to load ports. Our fleet's characteristics are expected to meet charterers' preference for the improved unit transportation cost of larger and more fuel efficient vessels. The Flex LNG fleet represents a diversified portfolio of two stroke vessels with both M-type Electronically Controlled Gas Injection ("MEGI") and Generation X Dual Fuel ("XD-F") propulsion systems. Three of the vessels are equipped with Full Re-liquefaction Systems ("FRS") and four are equipped with Partial Re-liquefaction Systems ("PRS"), which reduces the boil off rate to 0.035% and 0.075% respectively, making these vessels particularly suitable for long-term charters.

On October 17, 2019, Flex LNG Fleet Management AS, a related party, received the Document of Compliance qualifying the Company for in-house technical ship management services. The technical ship management for the first vessel is intended transferred to Flex LNG Fleet Management AS by end November 2019, with the remaining vessels scheduled to be transferred during the early part of 2020. The Company believes that transfer of the technical ship management to Flex LNG Fleet Management AS will put the Company in a better position to attract longer term business opportunities, as well as improving the ability to control total cost of ownership for the fleet.

6	Flex LNG Ltd. Third Quarter Results 2019

During the third quarter of 2019, spot LNG freight rates continued to strengthen with average reported headline rates for MEGI/X-DF LNG carriers increasing approximately 23.5% from $58.6kpdr to $72.4kpdr according industry sources. The main reason for the rate increase was fewer ships available due to a combination of longer sailing distances and more cargoes, as well as a gradual build-up of floating storage. Trading patterns however, continue to favor Europe as the main destination for incremental uncommitted LNG volumes.

According to industry sources, global LNG exports reached 268 million tonnes in the first nine months of 2019, in line with the expectations of reaching approximately 367 million tonnes by the end of the year. This represents year on year growth of approximately 13%. Three additional final investment decisions ("FIDs") have made 2019 a record year for LNG project sanctions. Mozambique LNG, Calcasieu Pass in the US and Arctic LNG-2 in Russia all announced FID since our last quarterly update. Not only was Arctic LNG-2 the single largest LNG project sanction in history, it also brought the total volumes sanctioned to date in 2019 to 63 million metric tonne per annum ("MMtpa"), which is significantly higher than the previous record from 2005 of 45 MMtpa. We still expect Woodfibre LNG in Canada to be sanctioned during 2019 bringing the total FID volumes to about 65MMtpa. With FID for Rovuma LNG (15.2 MMtpa) in Mozambique being postponed to 2020, we expect a similar level of FID activity in 2020 as projects like Qatar expansion (33 MMtpa), Driftwood Phase 1 (16.5 MMtpa), Energie Costa Azul I (3.3 MMtpa), Pluto Train 2 (5 Mmtpa), PNG expansion (8 MMtpa), Nigeria Train 7 (8.7 MMtpa) are all likely FID projects for 2020 according to industry sources.

The glut of liquefaction volumes continue to affect LNG prices, with the average Asian benchmark prices ("JKM") averaging 5.1 $/Metric Million British Thermal Unit ("MMBtu") in the third quarter 2019 compared to 11.35 $/MMBtu for the same period last year. Average European LNG prices ("NBP") came in at 4.1 $/MMBtu in the third quarter 2019 compared to 9.9 $/MMBtu for the same period last year. The low LNG price environment continues to stimulate demand growth in some regions, predominately Europe, resulting in switching from coal and pipeline gas to LNG. Higher forward gas prices than spot prices have incentivized a continued build-up of LNG inventory both at land based storage facilities as well as floating storage in LNG carriers.

Fourteen LNG carriers and one floating storage and regasification unit ("FSRU") were reported delivered in the third quarter of 2019, bringing the year to date count to 33 LNG carriers and three FSRUs. During the third quarter 2019, six new orders for LNG carriers were reported. By the end of the quarter, there were 508 vessels above 125,000 cbm in the global LNG carrier fleet, excluding FSRUs. The order book at the end of the quarter amounted to 106 conventional LNG carriers, of which 42 were reported as ‘uncommitted’. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we expect another five conventional LNG carriers and one FSRU to be delivered from yards.

Outlook for LNG shipping demand remains compelling due to rapidly increasing demand for LNG. The market has absorbed new tonnage as it has arrived, and despite lower than expected tonne mile growth due to muted US - Asia trade and limited arbitrage opportunities, we believe that the market is reasonably balanced.

The long term outlook for the industry continues to be well supported, and we believe that Flex LNG is well positioned to capitalize on the global shift for cleaner energy.

The principal financial assets of the Company at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current assets, receivables due from related parties and long-term derivative instruments receivable. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of payables due to related parties, accounts payable, other current liabilities, derivative instruments payable and secured long-term debt.

The fair value measurements requirement applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The assets and liabilities carried at fair value should be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories based on the inputs used to determine its fair value:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates their carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of secured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility is estimated based on the average of the current rates offered to the Company for all debt facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans and revolving credit facilities due to their variable interest rate, being LIBOR plus a fixed margin. This has been categorized at Level 2 on the fair value measurement hierarchy.

The following table includes the estimated fair value and carrying value of those assets and liabilities.

* Carrying value of Long-term debt is shown net of debt issuance costs, while fair value of Long-term debt is shown gross.

There have been no transfers between different levels in the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In November 2019, the Company received commitments from a syndicate of 11 banks and the Export-Import Bank of Korea ("KEXIM") for a $629 million financing for the five newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 2020. The facility will be divided into a commercial bank loan of $250 million (the "Commercial Loan"), a KEXIM guaranteed loan, funded by commercial banks, of $189.1 million (the "KEXIM Guaranteed Loan") and a KEXIM direct loan of $189.9 million (the "KEXIM Direct Loan").

The amount available for drawdown upon delivery of each vessel will be limited to the lower of (i) 65% of the fair market value of the relevant vessel and (ii) $125.8 million. The facility will also include an accordion option of up to $10 million per vessel subject acceptable long-term employment and credit approval by the lenders. Further, the Company may request to replace any two of the vessels with the two vessels scheduled for delivery in 2021.

The combined repayment profile for the KEXIM Guaranteed Loan and the KEXIM Direct Loan will be 12 years, while the Commercial Loan will be structured as a bullet loan, giving an overall repayment profile for the facility of 20 years. The Commercial Loan will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.35% per annum and have a term of five years from delivery of the final vessel. The KEXIM Guaranteed Loan will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.20% per annum and the KEXIM Direct Loan at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% per annum. The KEXIM Guaranteed Loan will have a term of six years from delivery of each vessel and the KEXIM Direct Loan a term of 12 years from delivery of each vessel, provided however that these loans will mature at the same time as the Commercial Loan if the Commercial Loan has not been refinanced at terms acceptable to the lenders.

The facility will include a minimum value clause, and financial covenants that will require the Company, on a consolidated basis, to maintain: a book equity ratio of minimum 0.25 to 1.0; a positive working capital; and minimum liquidity, including undrawn credit lines with a remaining term of at least six months, being the higher of $25 million or 5% of the net interest bearing debt.

The financing remains subject to execution of the loan facility agreement and customary closing conditions, and is expected to be drawn upon delivery of the vessels from the relevant shipyard.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude the items set forth in the table below, which represent certain non-cash other items that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing performance of our core operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by analysts in the shipping industry as common performance measures to compare results across peers. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not items recognized by U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or used as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activity or any other indicator of our operating performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is intended to supplement investors’ understanding of our operating performance by providing information regarding our ongoing performance that exclude items we believe do not directly affect our core operations and enhancing the comparability of our ongoing performance across periods. Our management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be useful to investors because such performance measures provide information regarding the profitability of our core operations and facilitate comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of our peers. Additionally, our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures when reviewing the Company’s operating performance. While we believe these measures are useful to investors, the definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used by us may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of additional non-cash and other items not associated with the ongoing performance of our core operations. To derive Adjusted EBITDA, we have excluded certain gains/losses related to mark to market of derivatives .

The table below reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") income as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. We define TCE income as operating revenues less voyage expenses. Under time charter agreements, voyage expenses, such as bunker fuel, canal and port charges and commissions are borne and paid by the charterer. Whereas under voyage charter agreements, voyage expenses are borne and paid by the owner. TCE income is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Time Charter Equivalent income, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance, regardless of whether a vessel has been employed on a time charter or a voyage charter.

The table below reconciles Time Charter Equivalent income to Vessel operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Time charter equivalent rate ("TCE rate") represents the weighted average daily TCE income of our entire operating fleet.

TCE rate is a measure of the average daily income performance. Our method of calculating TCE rate is determined by dividing TCE income by onhire days during a reporting period. Onhire days are calculated on a vessel by vessel basis and represent the net of available days and offhire days for each vessel (owned or chartered in) in our possession during a reporting period. Available days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel (owned or chartered in) is in our possession during the period. By definition, available days for an owned vessel equal the calendar days during a reporting period, unless the vessel is delivered by the yard during the relevant period whereas available days for a chartered-in vessel equal the tenure in days of the underlying time charter agreement, pro-rated to the relevant reporting period if such tenure overlaps more than one reporting period. Offhire days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel is in our possession during the period but is not operational as a result of unscheduled repairs, scheduled dry docking or special or intermediate surveys and lay-ups, if any.
