HIGHLIGHTSSUMMARY RESULTS

Operating Results:

The Q2 results of operations generated total

operating revenue of $72.1m, up from $69.8m in Q1

and in line with expectations. This was mainly due to

increase in earnings from Golar Igloo as she was

fully utilized during the quarter. This was slightly

offset a decrease in revenue from Golar Maria due to

lower daily hire rate. Total operating expenses

decreased to $39.3m in Q2 from $42.1m in Q1,

mainly due to a general fleet-wide deferral of repairs

and maintenance due to COVID-related movement

restrictions together with reduced maintenance

expenditure in respect of Golar Igloo compared to

Q1.

Total Adjusted EBITDA1:

Includes our proportionate share of the Hilli’s results

of operations. The Q-on-Q increase is attributable to

an overall increase in revenues and a decrease in

vessel operating costs.

Distribution coverage ratio1:

Improved distribution coverage ratio1 from 17.79x in

Q1 to 20.09x in Q2

Recent successful redeployments demonstrate underlying value of

existing assets:

➢ Secured a multi-month spot charter for Golar Maria in May 2020

➢ Golar Grand continues on a multi-year contract

➢ Golar Maria awarded multi-year contract in November 2019

➢ Awarded 2 year contract for Golar Igloo in October 2019

➢ Awarded 15 year contract for Golar Freeze in January 2018

FSRU fleet achieved full utilization in Q2 2020 compared to Q1 2020 utilization as Golar Igloo had a full quarter of

operation following its scheduled annual maintenance window under the existing charter.

Shipping economic utilization affected by Golar Maria idle time between charters offset by improved utilization from the

effect of fewer calendar days used in calculating average daily TCE as Golar Mazo's cold lay-up days are excluded,

Illustrative FSRU economics (volume vs. tolling fee per MMBTU throughput)1

Parceling FSRU capacity can boost re-contracting returns

Once the partnerships FSRUs roll-off their existing long term contracts, the assets are depreciated to a level where we

can enter into tolling contracts with end-users that does not have sufficient offtake for the full capacity of an FSRU

Due to the relative competitiveness of LNG on price these end-users can pay a higher tolling fee than traditional FSRU

contracts and still have significant economic and environmental benefits in converting to LNG

Once an FSRU is anchored in a new location, spare capacity that is not used by the initial client can be sold to other

local industrial and small-scale LNG adopters

Selling partial FSRU volumes to end-users can enable significantly higher unit returns than standard FSRU contracts

where the full FSRU capacity is typically chartered by one offtaker

Based on a tolling fee of USD 0.5-1.5/MMBTU the older FSRUs in the Partnership fleet can generate EBITDA on

full capacity of USD 62-202m/year. The modern FSRUs in the fleet have 2-3x the throughput capacity of the

older FSRUs.

Summary

1 Refer to Appendices for Non-GAAP measure details.

Full quarter contribution from Golar Igloo improved quarter over quarter earnings as

expected. Q3 Total Adjusted EBITDA1 is expected to be broadly similar to Q2.

Secured multi-month charter for Golar Maria during Q2. Revenue backlog1 of $1.9 billion

before extension options.

Record low gas prices favours LNG as a cheaper and cleaner source of energy vs.

alternatives, with new markets opening for potential FSRU contracts seeking access to the

LNG fuel and environmental benefit arbitrage.

Focus on refinancing, starting with the 7-vessel bank facility before year end ($542 million

outstanding as of June 30, 2020), and thereafter contemplate to refinance the two

unsecured bonds prior to May 2021 when the call option increases (total of $400 million

outstanding as of June 30, 2020).

Strategic alternatives to better use the Partnership’s $1.9 billion of revenue backlog1 to

maximize long-term shareholder value are being narrowed down.

Appendix A – Non-GAAP measuresDistributable cash flow: Distributable cash flow represents Total Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the cash components of interest, amounts invoiced under sales-type lease, derivatives, tax

and earnings from affiliates. We also include an adjustment for maintenance and replacement capital expenditures (including expenditure on dry docking). This represents the Partnership's

capital expenditures required to maintain the long-term operating capacity of the Partnerships' capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used by investors in publicly-

traded partnerships to assist in evaluating a partnership's ability to make quarterly cash distributions to common unitholders, general partners and incentive distribution rights ("IDRs").

Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, net income or any other indicator of Golar Partners' performance

calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation from Total Adjusted EBITDA to net income before non-controlling interests, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is

included in Appendix G.

Distribution coverage ratio: Distribution coverage ratio represents the ratio of distributable cash flow to total cash distributions paid. We believe that this measure allows investors and other

users of the financial statements to assess our liquidity based on our distributable cash flow. This presentation is consistent with management’s view of the business. Distribution coverage

ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, net income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance calculated in

accordance with US GAAP. A reconciliation of the calculation is provided in Appendix G.

Non GAAP Measures impacted by management’s monitoring of the FLNG segment (i.e. our equity investment in Hilli LLC) on a proportionate basis: In Q4 2018 the Partnership

changed the way in which it measures the business and the operating segments of the Company. The two key changes were the introduction of “EBITDA” as the operating segment profit

measure and reporting our FLNG segment (our equity investment in Hilli LLC) on a proportionate basis. Although management monitors the operating segments based on EBITDA, a number

of our total metrics have also been impacted by our proportionate view of the FLNG segment. Specifically “Total Adjusted EBITDA”, “Annualized Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Debt” and

“Revenue Backlog”. These metrics are discussed below.

Total Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is the EBITDA of our operating segments adjusted for amounts invoiced under finance leases. This is used as a supplemental financial measure

by management and investors to assess the Partnership’s total financial and operating performance. Management believes that it assists management and investors by increasing

comparability of its total performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a non GAAP financial measure and should not be

considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure presented in accordance with US GAAP. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is “Total Adjusted EBITDA” multiplied by

4. Management believe that this is a useful performance measure as it includes a full year of FLNG EBITDA. Total Adjusted EBITDA is a non GAAP measure and should not be considered

as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the next slide for a reconciliation.

Adjusted Net Debt: Adjusted Net Debt includes short and long term third party borrowings (inclusive of our proportionate share of Hilli LLC’s debt) and our obligations under our finance

leases offset by cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Adjusted Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to measure our performance and should not be

considered as an alternative to any other indicator of Golar Partners' performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Partnership believes that Adjusted Net Debt assists its

management and investors by increasing the comparability of its combined indebtedness and cash position against other companies in its industry. This increased comparability is achieved

by providing a comparative measure of debt levels irrespective of the levels of cash that a company maintains. We provide a ratio of Adjusted Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to

enable our investors to understand better our liquidity position and our ability to service our debt obligations. This presentation is consistent with management’s view of the business. Adjusted

net debt is a non-GAAP liquidity measure and should not be considered as an alternative to any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance calculated in accordance with US GAAP.

Revenue backlog: Revenue backlog is defined as the contracted daily charter rate for each vessel multiplied by the number of scheduled hire days for the remaining contract term. Revenue

backlog includes the Partnership’s pro-rata share of Hilli LLC’s contractual billings. This is consistent with management’s view of the business and our presentation in our segment note.

Revenue backlog is not intended to represent EBITDA or future cashflows that will be generated from these contracts. This measure should be seen as a supplement and not a substitute for

our US GAAP measures of performance.

Adjusted operating revenues: Adjusted operating revenues represents total operating revenues adjusted for amounts invoiced under sales-type leases. We believe that this enables

comparability of our sales-type lease charter with the rest of our business as the income from the sales-type lease is recognized as interest income and therefore does not appear in total

operating revenues. Adjusted operating revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, total operating revenue or any other

indicator of the Partnership’s performance calculated in accordance with US GAAP
