The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with solid financial performance and strong backlog on one side, but significant challenges in the market environment and rate conditions on the other. While the company is in a strong financial position to withstand current market softness, the decision to suspend dividends reflects caution due to ongoing low rates.
Company Guidance
In the Q4 2024 business update call for Cool Company Limited, CEO Richard Tyrrell addressed the company's financial performance and market conditions. The company reported a slight increase in revenue to $84.6 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $55.3 million, aided by fewer drydock days. Despite a robust backlog of $1.7 billion, with over $1 billion firm, Tyrrell highlighted challenges in the spot market with rates below economic breakeven, impacting fleet utilization. As a result, CoolCo decided not to declare a dividend, opting instead for financial flexibility and potential growth opportunities. The CEO noted a fleet utilization rate of 92% in Q4 and anticipated an improvement in Q1 2025. The company maintained strong liquidity with $288 million at the end of 2024 and no debt maturities until 2029, positioning itself to weather current market conditions and capitalize on future opportunities.
