Last week, folded within a flurry of billion-dollar transactions, there was major news involving LNG export facilities along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf.
The most obvious, of course, was the $1.2 billion purchase of Tellurian by Woodside, the Australian LNG producer. The less obvious was news that Fitch Ratings has downgraded the long-term Issuer Debt Rating for the parent company of another LNG operator to what is essentially junk bond status.
The two deals, each in their own way, reflect the current state of U.S. LNG exports: one presents a murky milestone in the remarkable rise of the U.S. as a global leader in LNG exports; the other a sign that the LNG sector is harnessing a millstone carved of its own success.
The parent entity is Freeport LNG Investments (FLNGI), the company that holds a 55.25 percent interest in the facility for Freeport’s founder, Michael Smith. The rest is owned primarily by two Japanese energy firms: JERA and Japan Petroleum Exploration Company.
The problem at Freeport LNG, put bluntly by Fitch, is its “challenged liquidity and weak operational performance.”
The facility, which lies just 60 miles south of Houston, suffered a major setback in early June 2022 when an explosion shut down the entire facility for the entire second half of 2022. The incident, four months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, displayed the growing market influence of U.S. LNG, as natural gas pricing in all its forms spiked across the globe.
A subsequent federal investigation blamed FLNGI’s own operations. The company had trouble recovering, operating at significantly reduced capacity through the first five months of this year. And early this month came Hurricane Beryl and another shutdown, which the company expects to continue into early August.
But the real daemon behind the Fitch downgrade is debt — and the structure of that debt. FLNGI, the parent company, has no source of income but revenues from the LNG operation. And the companies that operate the wounded facility are servicing their own $12 billion in project debt. As a result, according to Fitch, 90 percent of the parent’s total debt service over the past nine quarters has come in the form of equity cures.
On the plus side, Fitch notes that Freeport LNG has long-term contracts with five major buyers that nearly cover the facility’s nameplate capacity. That’s a good thing. But in June 2022, when Freeport LNG first went down, the average U.S. export price of LNG was $14.36 mcf. In April, the latest government stat available, the price was $5.36.
Which brings us back to the Tellurian/Woodside deal. The $1.2 billion price tag (actually $900 million in cash and the assumption of $295 million in debt) is a steal. Even with a 75 percent premium added to Tellurian’s last closing price, that’s still just $1.00 per share. In exchange, Woodside receives full control of Driftwood LNG, the company’s Lake Charles, Louisiana facility that is fully permitted by the feds and designed to someday produce 27.6 metric tons of LNG per year. The Woodside acquisition all but assures that that “someday” will actually take place.
The reality is that Tellurian was also in trouble. The company was having difficulty financing the Driftwood project. When no potential partners stepped forward, Tellurian had to sell, at an apparent discount, upstream assets it had purchased in 2017 to help, in part, produce cash to pay for the project. And tucked alongside other terms of the sale was another hint as to the extent of the problem: an agreement by Woodside to provide a $230 million loan to Tellurian, assuring that work on the project would continue while the deal is being closed.
Make no mistake, the growth of the U.S. LNG export sector since 2015 is nothing short of astonishing, and its importance to Texas and Texas M&A should not be underestimated. Of 15 FERC-approved LNG export sites, 12 are in Texas and nearby Louisiana. The reverberations of those developments can be seen in the billions spent on upstream consolidations and midstream infrastructure, all vital to the flow of natural gas to the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coasts.
But mild European winters, lower natural gas prices, environmental concerns, a surfeit of natural gas supply and languishing short-term demand has, for the moment, dampened investor exuberance in the once-giddy LNG space.
It’s a space dependent on big projects and long-term construction costs and lots and lots of money. And for those with more vision than cash, the next few years may be a bumpy ride.
It’s a good week, when deals tally more than $16 billion. It’s a better week when the value comes in the form of a plethora of billion-dollar deals. The week ending July 27 saw 19 deals valued at a total of $16.4 billion. Of those, 15 were M&A/funding transactions valued at $13.8 billion. Even better, seven of the 15 M&A deals were for $1 billion or more (and another came damn close).
The week prior, we reported 15 deals for $16 billion, but nearly $11 billion of that was a KKR/Carlyle acquisition of Discover’s student loan portfolio. This time a year ago, we reported 15 deals for $21 billion, including $18 billion in M&A and fundings. But $15 billion of the M&A tally was from only three deals.
So, let’s just declare this a very busy summer and be done with it.
