Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P.

The following information describes our ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet our requirements in the short term and the long term. In the short term, we expect to meet our cash requirements using operating cash flows and available liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and available commitments under our credit facilities. Additionally, we expect to meet our long term cash requirements by using operating cash flows and other future potential sources of liquidity, which may include debt offerings by us or our subsidiaries and equity offerings by us.

The table below provides a summary of our available liquidity (in millions). Future material sources of liquidity are discussed below.

(1)Available commitments represent total commitments less loans outstanding and letters of credit issued under each of our credit facilities as of March 31, 2025. See Note 8—Debt of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facilities and other debt instruments.

Our liquidity position subsequent to March 31, 2025 will be driven by future sources of liquidity and future cash requirements. For a discussion of our future sources and uses of liquidity, see the liquidity and capital resources disclosures in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in ourannual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Although our sources and uses of cash are presented below from a consolidated standpoint, we and our subsidiary SPL operate with independent capital structures. Certain restrictions or requirements under debt instruments executed by SPL limit its ability to distribute cash, including the following:

•SPL is required to deposit all cash received into restricted cash and cash equivalents accounts under certain of their debt agreements. The usage or withdrawal of such cash is restricted to the payment of liabilities related to the Liquefaction Project and other restricted payments. In addition, SPL’s operating costs are managed by subsidiaries of Cheniere under affiliate agreements, which may require SPL to advance cash to the respective affiliates; and

•SPL is restricted by affirmative and negative covenants included in certain of its debt agreements in its ability to make certain payments, including distributions, unless specific requirements are satisfied.

Despite the restrictions noted above, we believe that sufficient flexibility exists to enable each independent capital structure to meet its currently anticipated cash requirements. The sources of liquidity at SPL primarily fund the cash requirements of SPL, and any remaining liquidity not subject to restriction, as supplemented by liquidity provided by SPLNG, is available to enable CQP to meet its cash requirements.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

Certain debt obligations of CQP (the“Guaranteed Obligations”), consisting of the $1.5 billion of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029, $1.5 billion of 4.000% Senior Notes due 2031, $1.2 billion of 3.25% Senior Notes due 2032, $1.4 billion of 5.950% Senior Notes due 2033 and $1.2 billion of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 (collectively, the“CQP Senior Notes”) are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of CQP (each a“Guarantor” and collectively, the “CQP Guarantors”), as prescribed within the respective debt agreements governing such Guaranteed Obligation.

The CQP Guarantors’ guarantees of such Guaranteed Obligations are full and unconditional, subject to certain release provisions including, as applicable, (1) the sale, disposition or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, (2) the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor, (3) following the release of a Guarantor from another guarantee that resulted in the creation of its guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligation and (4) the legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of obligations under the indenture governing the CQP Senior Notes. In the event of a default in payment of the principal or interest by us, whether at maturity of the respective debt obligation or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted against the CQP Guarantors to enforce the guarantee.

The Guaranteed Obligations contain affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for the respective debt instrument, including, with limited exceptions, restrictions on CQP’s and the CQP Guarantors’ ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or liens, enter into hedging arrangements and/or engage in transactions with affiliates. The Guaranteed Obligations also include events of default that are customary for the respective debt instrument, which are subject to customary grace periods and materiality standards.

The rights of holders of the Guaranteed Obligations against the CQP Guarantors may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law. Each guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance or transfer under U.S. federal or state law. However, there can be no assurance as to what standard a court will apply in making a determination of the maximum liability of the CQP Guarantors. Moreover, this provision may not be effective to protect the guarantee from being voided under fraudulent conveyance laws. There is a possibility that the entire guarantee may be set aside, in which case the entire liability may be extinguished.

The following tables include summarized financial information of CQP (the“Parent Issuer”), and the CQP Guarantors (together with the Parent Issuer, the“Obligor Group”) on a combined basis. Investments in and equity in the earnings of SPL and, subject to certain conditions governing its guarantee, Sabine Pass LP (collectively with SPL, the“Non-Guarantors”), which are not currently members of the Obligor Group, have been excluded. Intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the Obligor Group have been eliminated. Although the creditors of the Obligor Group have no claim against the Non-Guarantors, the Obligor Group may gain access to the assets of the Non-Guarantors upon bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Non-Guarantors due to its investment in these entities. However, such claims to the assets of the Non-Guarantors would be subordinated to any claims by the Non-Guarantors’ creditors, including trade creditors.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes the sources and uses of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents (in millions). The table presents capital expenditures on a cash basis; therefore, these amounts differ from the amounts of capital expenditures, including accruals, which are referred to elsewhere in this report. Additional discussion of these items follows the table.

Operating Cash Flows

The 4 million decrease between the periods was primarily related to cash flows attributed to working capital, mainly due to differences in timing of payments to suppliers, partially offset by decreased payment of interest on our debt from a decrease in total indebtedness.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash outflows for property, plant and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were primarily related to optimization and other site improvement projects.

Financing Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our financing activities (in millions):

Debt Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, SPL repaid the remaining $300 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 2025 SPL Senior Notes. SPL also borrowed and repaid $125 million under the SPL Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, SPL prepaid the outstanding aggregate principal amount of $150 million of the 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 with cash on hand.

Cash Distributions to Unitholders

Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement). Our available cash is our cash on hand at the end of a quarter less the amount of any reserves established by our general partner. All distributions paid to date have been made from accumulated operating surplus.

The following provides a summary of distributions paid by us during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

In addition, Tug Services distributed $1 million during both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 to Cheniere Terminals in accordance with their terminal marine service agreement, which is recognized as part of the distributions to the holder of our general partner interest. Refer to Note 10—Related Party Transactions of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this agreement.

On April 29, 2025, with respect to the first quarter of 2025, we declared a cash distribution of $0.820 per common unit to unitholders of record as of May 9, 2025, and the related general partner distribution, to be paid on May 15, 2025. These distributions consist of a base amount of $0.775 per unit and a variable amount of $0.045 per unit.
