On August 9, 2024, New Fortress released its second quarter 2024 financial results, revealing an adjusted EBITDA well below the Company’s prior expectations. The Company lowered its guidance for the remainder of 2024, attributing disappointing results to delays in placing its FLNG 1 project into service. On this news, the price of New Fortress shares declined by $4.02, or approximately 23.6%, from $17.02 per share on August 6, 2024, to close at $13.00 per share on August 9, 2024.

The lawsuit alleges that New Fortress failed to disclose to investors that: (1) New Fortress’ Fast LNG projects failed to meet the Company’s publicly stated progress, specifically that its FLNG 1 would be in service by March 2024; and (2) even following the announcement that these delays were costing New Fortress upwards of $150 million per quarter, the Company was still touting the speed at which it was building facilities.
