Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian or the Company) (NYSE American: TELL) ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with the first phase of Driftwood LNG under construction, and $474.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. Tellurian also increased natural gas production fourfold to approximately 225 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to approximately 55 MMcfd in the fourth quarter of 2021. Tellurian also had the following significant accomplishments in 2022:

  • Issued a limited notice to proceed to Bechtel Energy, Inc. and began construction of phase one of Driftwood LNG
  • Completed the acquisition of natural gas assets of approximately 5,000 net acres and 44 producing wells
  • Put in production 13 operated Haynesville wells
  • Increased total proved reserves to 445 billion cubic feet (Bcf), as of year-end 2022, an increase of over 100 Bcf as compared to year-end 2021*
  • Supported the planting of more than one million trees as part of a five-year pledge with the National Forest Foundation

President and CEO Octávio Simões said, “Tellurian is executing on our plans to progress Driftwood LNG and has invested approximately $1.0 billion in the project since inception. We have also significantly increased our natural gas production and reduced carbon impact through nature-based solutions. At the same time, we are diligent in our search to secure a financing package to support long-term returns for shareholders.”

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and the results of the Company’s peers and of prior periods.

Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain charges or expenditures. Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance and should not be viewed as a substitute for any GAAP measure.

Management presents Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA because (i) it is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s position and performance are measured relative to the position and performance of its peers and (ii) it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts.
