8. DEBT
The Company’s carrying value of debt, net of debt issuance costs, at December 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):
Revolving Credit Facility
On March 27, 2025 the Company, along with its subsidiaries, Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford LLC, Stabilis GDS, Inc. and Stabilis LNG Port Allen, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Modification Agreement (the "Agreement") to the existing Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Cadence Bank. Under the Agreement, the $10.0 million revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") maturity date was extended to June 9, 2028. Additionally, the Agreement amended the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio terms primarily related to the inclusion of excess cash. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no amounts were drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, contains a maximum aggregate borrowing amount of $10.0 million, subject to a borrowing base of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $1.7 million availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company may request an increase in the maximum aggregate amount under the Revolving Credit Facility by up to $5.0 million, subject to the approval of Cadence Bank. All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and deposit accounts. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility incur interest at the Prime Rate published by the Wall Street Journal. Any unused portion is subject to a quarterly unused commitment fee of 0.5% per annum.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains various restrictions and covenants. Among other requirements, the Borrowers must maintain a consolidated net worth of at least $52.4 million as of December 31, 2025, such minimum amount increasing on December 31 of each fiscal year thereafter by 50% of the Borrowers’ positive net income for that fiscal year, and must maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 on a consolidated basis, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, on a trailing twelve (12) months basis. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility occurs and is continuing, then Cadence Bank may declare any outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if any of the Borrowers become the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all its covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility.
Secured Term Note
On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with AmeriState Bank (“Lender”), as lender, pursuant to the United States Department of Agriculture, Business & Industry Loan Program, to provide for an advancing loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million (the “AmeriState Loan”). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount drawn totaled $9.0 million and the amount outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The AmeriState Loan, which is in the form of a term loan facility, matures on April 8, 2031 and bears interest at 5.75% per annum through April 8, 2026, and the plus 2.5% per annum thereafter. The AmeriState Loan provides that proceeds from borrowings may be used for working capital purposes at the Company’s liquefaction plant in George West, Texas and related fees and costs associated with the AmeriState Loan. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the Lender may (i) terminate its commitment, (ii) declare the outstanding principal amount of the Advancing Notes (as defined in the Loan Agreement) due and payable, or (iii) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Agreement.
