LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Law Offices of Frank R.

(“New Fortress” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NFE) securities between February 29, 2024 and August 8, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

On August 9, 2024, New Fortress released its second quarter 2024 financial results, revealing adjusted EBITDA well below the Company’s prior expectations. Further, the Company lowered its guidance for the remainder of 2024, attributing disappointing results to delays in placing its FLNG 1 project into service, which cost $150 million per quarter in lost operating margin.

On this news, New Fortress’ stock price fell $4.02, or 23.6%, to close at $13.00 per share on August 9, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) New Fortress’ Fast LNG projects failed to meet the Company’s publicly stated progress, specifically that its FLNG 1 would be in service by March 2024; (2) Even following the announcement that these delays were costing the Company upwards of $150 million per quarter, Defendants were still touting the speed at which New Fortress was building facilities; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
