New Fortress Energy (NASDAQ:NFE) experienced a sharp decline in its second-quarter performance, failing to meet earnings expectations due to operational delays at its floating LNG export facility off the coast of Altamira, Mexico.

For the quarter, New Fortress posted a net loss of $88 million, equating to a loss per share of 44 cents.

This result was substantially below the consensus estimate of nine analysts surveyed by LSEG, who had anticipated earnings of 7 cents per share.

Revenue also declined by 23.8%, totaling $428.01 million compared to $690 million in the previous quarter, missing the expected $509.24 million.

The company's core earnings, or EBITDA, plummeted to $120 million from $340 million in the first quarter.

Wesley Edens, the Chairman of New Fortress, expressed his disappointment during an earnings call and attributed the poor performance primarily to the delays in the commencement of Mexico's inaugural LNG export operation.

"The misses were entirely a result of the delay in the deployment of our first FLNG asset," Edens explained.

Despite the setbacks, he revealed that the facility managed to export its first partial shipment of superchilled gas on Friday morning.
