FLNG Update FLNG Hilli Episeyo (Cameroon): First LNG produced. First LNG cargo exported. Acceptance testing underway; expect completion in days. Second cargo currently being loaded on to Golar Maria. Fortuna (Equatorial Guinea): Financing increasingly unlikely in the short-term. Changed priorities mean Schlumberger will exit project. Golar and Schlumberger plan to wind down OneLNG. Golar, Ophir and EG government to continue pursuit of attractive financing which may include additional partners. No further updates until financing is fully committed. BP (Mauritania/Senegal): FLNG unit similar to Hilli Episeyo for 20 years. FEED update being progressed to meet FID later in year. Development of contracts and agreements underway. Strong appetite from lenders interested in financing project. 6

Further material increases expected over next 2-3 years. Expected seasonal softening to negatively impact 2Q TCE - will be around half 1Q levels. New production and widening trading margins once again driving up ton miles and absorbing vessels. Notable increase in period cover requirements. Trend expected to accelerate in 2H. Market remains structurally short of vessels. Increasingly difficult to order a vessel to deliver before 2021. 7
FSRU and Power Update Sergipe project making good progress: Project now fully funded with $1.35 billion in debt and $400 million equity fully paid in. Executed FSRU Golar Nanook time charter party. Power plant infrastructure modules arriving on site. Pursuing options to monetize spare FSRU capacity. Other opportunities: Above: progress to date: Sergipe power station Several FSRU opportunities being pursued. Good appetite for smaller/cheaper FSRUs. Newbuild FSRU market extremely competitive. Margins under increasing pressure. Gas to power remains of high interest with further integrated FSRU/power station projects being developed. Below: 3D rendering of completed Sergipe power station 8
Summary and Outlook Hilli Episeyo: Stable production levels achieved and Commercial Acceptance anticipated in the coming days. Golar s expected share of base annual operating income before depreciation and amortization on contracted trains of $82m with a further $82m dropped down to GMLP. Brent link worth $45million in additional annual cash flows at $75 Brent. Train 3 represents an increasingly attractive commercial opportunity. FLNG proof of concept opening new opportunities: BP Tortue project in Mauritania and Senegal indicative of this. Several new commercial enquiries received from gas companies. Completed Mark II FEED study expected to further widen opportunity set (e.g. Delfin). Sergipe project expected to be cash flow generative in 2020: Project financing secured. Equity now fully paid in. Significant construction progress expected over coming months as prefabricated modules arrive on site. Strong underlying shipping fundamentals despite weak 2Q: Significant improvements in cash generation still expected from 3Q. More charterers seeking multi-month and 1-year fixtures ahead of winter. Interest in multi-year charters also increasing. Market remains structurally short of vessels despite recent increase in ordering. Significant earnings growth Strategic platform and competitive advantage leads to strong expected growth over the coming years. 9
