Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Background and Basis of Presentation
NextDecade Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a Houston-based energy company primarily engaged in construction and development activities related to the liquefaction of natural gas and sale of LNG. We are constructing and developing a natural gas liquefaction and export facility located in the Rio Grande Valley near Brownsville, Texas (the “Rio Grande LNG Facility”). Construction of Trains 1–3 (“Phase 1”) by Phase 1 LLC, Train 4 by Train 4 LLC, and Train 5 by Train 5 LLC commenced in July 2023, September 2025, and October 2025, respectively. We are also developing and advancing the permitting process for expansion Trains 6 through 8 at the Rio Grande LNG Facility.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary to a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation. The Company began presenting operating and maintenance expense, which primarily consists of costs associated with the Rio Grande LNG Facility and pre-operational readiness activities, as a separate line item on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures
The following table shows the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our debt (in thousands):
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying Amount | Estimated Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Estimated Fair Value | |
| Phase 1 Senior Secured Notes | $2,005,000 | $2,044,786 | $2,005,000 | $2,077,080 |
| Phase 1 Senior Secured Loans | 607,000 | 632,581 | 607,000 | 643,504 |

The fair value of the debt included in the table above was calculated using a lattice model and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of the CD Credit Agreement, TCF Credit Agreement, and Train 4 LLC Credit Agreement approximate their respective carrying amounts because their variable interest rates align to market interest rates. The fair value of the Phase 1 HoldCo Borrower Term Loan approximates its carrying amount because of the close proximity of the issuance of the debt to June 30, 2026.
Note 6 — Derivatives
To manage interest rate volatility, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) to hedge a portion of the floating-rate interest payments associated with the credit agreements described in Note 5 — Debt. These include Swaps entered into by Phase 1 LLC in July 2023 and by Train 4 LLC, Train 5 LLC, and FinCo in the second half of 2025 for their respective debt obligations.
In June 2026, the Company reduced the notional amount of certain of the Phase 1 Swaps, resulting in an approximate $109.2 million receivable due to us based on the fair value of the notional reduction as of the transaction date less transaction costs of approximately $2.6 million. This receivable is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets within our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 11 — Subsequent Events for additional information about the receivable.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the following Swaps outstanding (in thousands):
| Initial Notional Amount | Maximum Notional Amount | Maturity (1) | Weighted Average Fixed Interest Rate Paid | Variable Interest Rate Received | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 Swaps | $123,000 | $6,194,213 | 2048 | 3.4% | USD - SOFR |
| Train 4 Swaps | 186,900 | 3,230,000 | 2050 | 4.3% | USD - SOFR |
| Train 5 Swaps | 17,709 | 3,050,650 | 2051 | 4.2% | USD - SOFR |
| FinCo Swaps | 7,852 | 1,389,854 | 2035 | 4.0% | USD - SOFR |
(1) Phase 1, Train 4, Train 5, and FinCo Swaps, have early mandatory termination dates in July 2030, September 2032, October 2032, and October 2031, respectively.
The Swaps are measured at fair value each reporting period using an income approach (Level 2) based on observable market inputs, including SOFR forward curves. Changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Series A Exchange Option
The Series A Exchange Option (see Note 5 — Debt) is measured at fair value each reporting period using a lattice model (Level 2), and changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Warrants
The Company issued approximately 9.2 million warrants (the “Warrants”) in connection with the A&R Corporate Credit Agreement that consist of approximately 3.6 million warrants with an exercise price of $7.15 per share and approximately 5.6 million warrants with an exercise price of $9.30 per share. Approximately 7.2 million of the Warrants mature in 2031 and the approximately 2.0 million remaining warrants mature in 2032. The Warrants may be exercised by the holder solely on a cashless exercise basis at any time prior to their expiration.
Subject to certain liquidity conditions, the Company may cause the cash exercise of approximately 3.6 million of these warrants if the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock and the closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the date of exercise equals or exceeds $13.50 per share or $15.00 per share during specified periods in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
The Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities and are remeasured each period using either a Black-Scholes model or Monte Carlo, depending on the terms of the instrument (Level 2). Changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 7 — Variable Interest Entities
Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, Train 5 Holdings, and their wholly owned subsidiaries were established to construct and operate Phase 1, Train 4, and Train 5 of the Rio Grande LNG Facility, respectively. The Company is not obligated to fund their losses.
The equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Additionally, through agreements with NextDecade LLC, the Company holds decision-making rights over construction and key operational aspects of Phase 1 LLC, Train 4 LLC, and Train 5 LLC, which agreements can only be terminated by equity holders for cause. Based on these factors, the

In addition, there is no recourse to NextDecade for the consolidated VIE’s liabilities. The assets and liabilities in the table below include only the assets and liabilities of Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, Train 5 Holdings, and their respective subsidiaries and exclude intercompany balances between Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, and Train 5 Holdings and NextDecade, which are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements of NextDecade.
