| Our cash balance for the quarter increased from $52.9 million at the end of the previous quarter to $64.9 million and our credit metrics continue to improve |
| Considering these promising developments and facts, we maintain a positive outlook on the long-term prospects of LNG shipping |
| Looking ahead, we are confident that the partnership's ongoing efforts to reduce debt would further augment equity value through stable, long-term cash flow visibility |
| We are confident that our charter profile is strong and positions our partnership for stable income in the years to come |
| Additionally, the partnership has achieved a 42% increase in book equity value, standing at $441 million as per 30 September '23 |
| And so the Yamal stuff isn't really a factor or a problem? Michael Gregos Well, I mean, listen, our -- we have -- if you look at our whole fleet, we have a strong contract backlog, if you look at it in its totality |
| We firmly believe the LNG plays a pivotal role in building a future with reduced emissions |
| The partnership has demonstrated its commitment to its debt reduction strategy |
| We are continuing our comprehensive deleveraging path, which commenced in the first quarter of 2020, resulting in a decrease in our net leverage to 4.1 times and a steady increase in the book value of our equity, which today stands at $441 million |
| Natural gas has a relatively low emission profile when combusted and other key drivers of natural gas is its ability to generate power swiftly and effectively as and when needed and the existence of a well-developed global infrastructure for facilitating its production, transportation, storage and consumption |
| Since December 2019 until end of September '23, we successfully repaid $242 million in debt, significantly lowering the net leverage from 6.6 times to 4.1 times |
| This represents a total increase in energy liquefaction capacity of about 40% |
| We are pleased to announce that all six LNG carriers in our fleet were operating under long-term charters with esteemed international gas companies |
| It is noteworthy to point that compared to Q3 2022, voyage revenues increased by 23.7% from $29.9 million to $37 million, mainly attributable to the increase of $2.7 million due to the deferred revenue amortization relating to the new time charter party agreement with Equinor for the employment of the Arctic Aurora, which commenced in September 2023 and the higher available days |
| Furthermore, our adjusted EBITDA for the same period reached $20.4 million |

| For the third quarter of '23, we reported net income of $1.4 million and a loss per common unit of $0.04 |
| Net income for the third quarter decreased by $6 million or 81% to $1.4 million compared to $7.4 million in Q3 2022, primarily due to the decrease in the unrealized gain on our interest rate swap of $13 million and the increase of $2.2 million in loan interest which were partially offset by the increase in the realized gain on our swap transaction of $3.9 million |
| So I don't -- I wouldn't say there's a holdup |
| Adjusted net income for the quarter -- for the third quarter of 2023 amounted to $3.1 million compared to $4.5 million same time last year, the decrease being mainly attributable to the aforementioned increase in interest and finance costs as a result of the higher interest expense paid under the floating leg of our credit facility |
