Concentration risk

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk principally from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, derivative financial instruments, and accounts receivable. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk with cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by placing it with highly rated financial institutions. Additionally, the Company evaluates the counterparty risk of potential customers based on credit evaluations, including analysis of the counterparty’s established credit rating or assessment of the counterparty’s creditworthiness based on an analysis of financial condition when a credit rating is not available, historical experience, and other factors.

To manage credit risk associated with the interest rate hedges, the Company selected counterparties based on their credit ratings and limits the exposure to any single counterparty. The counterparties to the derivative contracts are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Company periodically monitors the credit risk of the counterparties and adjusts the hedging position as appropriate. The impact of credit risk, as well as the ability of each party to fulfill its obligations under the derivative financial instruments, is considered in determining the fair value of the contracts. Credit risk has not had a significant effect on the fair value of the derivative instruments. The Company does not have any credit risk-related contingent features or collateral requirements associated with the derivative contracts.

The following table shows customers with revenues of 10% or greater of total revenues:

Certain customers of ours may purchase a high volume of LNG and/or natural gas from us. These purchases can significantly increase such customers’ percentage of our total revenues as compared to those customers who are only FSRU and terminal service customers. This increase in revenue from their purchases is exacerbated in periods of high market pricing of LNG and natural gas. In conjunction with these LNG and natural gas sales, our direct cost of gas sales also increases by a similar percent due to the increase in volume and market pricing of LNG incurred for such revenue. As such, the increase in revenues by customer may be disproportionate to the relative increase in concentration risk within our operations.

Substantially all of the net book value of our long-lived assets are located outside the United States. The Company’s fixed assets are largely comprised of vessels that can be deployed globally due to their mobile nature. As such, the Company is not subject to significant concentration risk of fixed assets.
