Fair values

We recognize our fair value estimates using a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on reliability of inputs used to determine fair value as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

(1) These instruments carrying value are highly liquid and deemed reasonable estimates of fair value.

(2) Included within cash and cash equivalents of $1,007.1 million and $1,151.2 million are $792.4 million and $920.5 million held in short-term money-market deposits as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we earned interest income on short-term money-market deposits of $10.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

(3) These instruments are considered to be equal to their estimated fair value because of their near term maturity.

(4) As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, trade receivables and accrued income totaled to $60.7 million and $35.5 million, respectively, primarily relates to amounts due from bp under the Gimi LOA. bp is a publicly listed, investment-grade counterparty with no prior history of default. Accordingly, we consider the credit risk associated with this balance to be remote as of March 31, 2026.

(5) As of March 31, 2026, trade payables primarily comprised of amounts payable related to the MKII FLNG conversion, FLNG Hilli's redeployment and operations and FLNG Gimi's carry-over commissioning works of $14.9 million, $13.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively (December 31, 2025: $91.0 million, $14.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively).

(6) Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost. The amounts presented in the table above are gross of the deferred financing costs of $44.6 million and $47.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively (note 15).

(7) The estimated fair values for both the floating long-term debt and short-term debt are considered to be equal to the carrying value since they bear variable interest rates, which are adjusted on a quarterly basis.

(8) The estimated fair values of our 2024 Unsecured Bonds and 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes are based on their quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date (note 15).

(9) The estimated fair value of our 2025 Convertible Bonds reflects observable market inputs and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (note 15).

(10) The fair value of the oil and gas derivative instruments, which are presented on a gross basis (none of which have been designated as hedges), is determined using the estimated discounted cash flows of the additional payments due to us as a result of oil and gas prices moving above the contractual floor price over the remaining term of the LTA. Significant inputs used in the valuation of the oil and gas derivative instruments include the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rates based on the forex forward curve for the gas derivative instrument and management’s estimate of an appropriate discount rate and the length of time necessary to blend the long-term and short-term oil and gas prices obtained from quoted prices in active markets.

(11) The fair value of certain derivative instruments, which are presented on a gross basis (none of which have been designated as hedges), is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest

rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties. The credit exposure of

certain derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive value at the end of each period, reduced by the

effects of master netting arrangements.

(12) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our other classes of financial instruments:

the carrying values of loan receivables and working capital facilities approximate fair values because of the near-term maturity of these instruments (notes 11, 17 and 20). These instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2026, we were party to the following interest rate swap transactions involving the payment of fixed rates in exchange for SOFR as summarized below:
