GTLS: GAS TO LIQUID SYSTEMS Natural gas expansion – Natural gas demand is expected to continue to grow at a pace faster than coal and oil, and will be heavily weighted towards emerging economies, which is expected to drive demand for Chart’s products LNG growth leader – The natural gas industry is expected to invest approximately $720 billion in LNG facilities from 2009 to 2035, with LNG reaching 25% of world demand in 2035 (Source: International Energy Agency – World Energy Outlook 2011, Golden Age of Gas Scenario) Natural Gas Expected To Grow Globally 8 Source: ExxonMobil – The Outlook for Energy, A View to 2040 |
GTLS: GAS TO LIQUID SYSTEMS Increasing natural gas penetration as a viable energy source and transportation fuel due to its high energy density, lower costs, cleaner emissions profile, and plentiful supply due to improved drilling technologies (e.g. shale gas). U.S. trucking is converting a portion of its fleets to natural gas. Recent announcements in domestic LNG infrastructure by major natural gas producers and equipment providers, as well as recent order intake have validated expectations China’s twelfth 5-year plan (2011 - 2015) mandates an increase in gas use as a percentage of energy consumption from less than 4% to over 8% Dramatic increase in imported LNG in China is in process and is expected to continue, with significant investment in infrastructure, including LNG transportation and storage equipment Lack of pipeline infrastructure in China requires “virtual pipeline” with LNG Chart provides a broad offering of products and solutions for the full LNG value chain: LNG liquefiers, transportation equipment, terminal storage equipment and vehicle tanks for both on-road and off-road heavy duty vehicles and marine applications LNG Value Chain Opportunities 9 |

GTLS: GAS TO LIQUID SYSTEMS Outlook for 2012 12 Based on a substantial order backlog, solid financial resources, and an attractive portfolio of product solutions, we expect another solid year in 2012. We believe energy investments, especially in natural gas applications, are at an early-stage of a multi-year growth cycle. We anticipate continued growth in demand for our products and we have stepped up our investment in capacity to capture and execute on these opportunities. Order strength in first quarter 2012 continues at an exceptional rate for LNG opportunities. Between E&C and D&S, we have booked over $190 million in new LNG orders during January and February 2012. Sales for 2012 are expected to be in a range of $950 million to $1 billion. Including continuing costs related to the ramp-up of the Company’s infrastructure, diluted earnings per share are expected to be in a range of $2.60 to $2.90 per share, based on approximately 31 million shares outstanding. |
