Golar LNG Partners Fourth Quarter Results 2012

28 February 2013

This presentation contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflects management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about its operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities and events that will, should, could or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Unless legally required, Golar LNG Partners undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changes in liquified natural gas (LNG) and floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) market trends, including charter rates; changes in the supply and demand for LNG; changes in trading patterns that affect the opportunities for the profitable operation of LNG carriers and FSRUs; Golar LNG Partners ability to acquire new vessels from Golar LNG or third parties; increases in costs; the potential for the exercise of purchase options or early termination of charters by the Partnerships charterers and Golar Partners inability to replace assets and/or long-term contracts; and changes in the ability of Golar LNG Partners to obtain additional financing, in particular, in connection with the recent turmoil in financial markets. Unpredictable or unknown factors herein also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. Please read Golar LNG Partners' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information regarding these factors and the risks faced by Golar LNG Partners.
