- Organization
New Fortress Energy Inc. (“NFE,” together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global energy infrastructure company founded to help address energy poverty and accelerate the world’s transition to reliable, affordable and clean energy. The Company owns and operates natural gas and liquefied natural gas ("LNG") infrastructure, ships and logistics assets to rapidly deliver turnkey energy solutions to global markets. The Company has liquefaction, regasification and power generation operations in the United States, Jamaica, Brazil and Mexico. The Company has marine operations with vessels operating under time charters and in the spot market globally.
The Company currently conducts its business throughtwo operating segments, Terminals and Infrastructure and Ships. The business and reportable segment information reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews and manages the business. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
- Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein were prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of their issuance, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized an operating loss and negative operating cash flows. The Company’s forecasted cash flows are expected to be impacted by, among other things, (i) reduced earnings following the sale of the Jamaica Business, (ii) increased interest expense and collateral requirements for certain debt instruments, (iii) cash tax payments resulting from the taxable gain on the sale of the Company’s Jamaica business in May 2025, and (iv) recent declines in commodity prices. As such, management has concluded that, the Company’s current liquidity and forecasted cash flows from operations are not probable to be sufficient to support, in full, obligations as they become due, and there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's forecast excludes certain items that are not fully in management’s control including, among other things: (1) settlement of the Company’s claims resulting from the termination of the emergency power services contract in Puerto Rico in the first quarter of 2024, (2) realization of proceeds from the modification of Genera’s Operation and Maintenance Agreement; (3) receipt of proceeds from the Jamaica Sale that are currently in escrow of approximately $98,635. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate asset sales, capital raising, debt amendments and refinancing transactions, and other strategic transactions that seek to optimize the value of the Company’s portfolio while providing additional liquidity and cash flow to the Company. There are inherent uncertainties, as the occurrence of the events and transactions described above are outside management’s control and therefore there are no assurances that these events and transactions will occur. Furthermore, there are inherent risks with the Company’s ability to continue to implement plans in future periods that will support its liquidity position. There can be no assurances that these transactions will sufficiently improve the Company's liquidity needs or that the Company will otherwise realize the anticipated benefits.
In addition, management has also approved a plan to support its liquidity position by: (i) delaying certain discretionary payments, including planned capital expenditures and dividends, that are within management’s control, and (ii) continuously renewing the LNG cargo financing facility over the succeeding twelve months. Notwithstanding these plans, management's concluded that there continues to be substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, the Company's 2026 Notes mature on September 30, 2026. If more than $100,000 of the 2026 Notes remain outstanding 91 days prior to the maturity date (the "Springing Maturity Date"), the outstanding principal of $2,730,127 under the New 2029 Notes becomes due. If any of the 2026 Notes remain outstanding 91 days prior to the Springing Maturity Date, the outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility, which was $750,000 as of March 31, 2025, become s due. The aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2025 is $510,879. Neither the principal outstanding on the 2026 Notes nor any amounts due at the Springing Maturity Date have been included in the Company’s going concern analysis, as these amounts are not due within one year from the issuance of these financial statements, discussed above.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net earnings and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
- Adoption of new and revised standards
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring companies to annually disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company will include the new disclosures as required by ASU 2023-09 in the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, providing illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of Topic 718. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is allowed, and the amendments can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2024-01 on January 1, 2025 and will apply the amendments on a prospective basis. The Company has not entered into any new or amended agreements which would require the application of the guidance.
(b) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the year beginning January 1, 2025:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. These amendments require public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that such pronouncements are either not applicable to the Company or no material impact is expected in the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
- Dispositions
Jamaica business sale
In March 2025, the Company entered into an equity and asset purchase agreement (the “EAPA”) to sell the Company’s Jamaica business, including operations at the LNG import terminal in Montego Bay, the offshore floating storage and regasification terminal in Old Harbour and the 150 megawatt Combined Heat and Power Plant in Clarendon, along with the associated infrastructure (the "Jamaica Business") for cash consideration of $1,055,000, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. On May 14, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Jamaica Business and received net proceeds of approximately $678,480, with an additional $98,635 proceeds held in escrow and to be returned to the Company on the release dates as stated in the EAPA.
As of March 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of the Jamaica Business were classified as held for sale and the carrying value was less than the estimated fair value less cost to sell and, thus, no adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group was necessary. Upon classification of the Jamaica Business as held for sale, the Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization expense for long-lived assets of the disposal group. The divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as it did not represent a strategic shift for the Company. The Company continued to report the operating results for the Jamaica Business in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Terminals and Infrastructure segment.
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale:
| Assets held for sale | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Current: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $8,711 |

Equipment sale
In March 2024, the Company completed a series of transactions that included the sale of turbines and related equipment to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA") under an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA"). The book value of the turbines and equipment at the time of sale was $368,799, and the Company recognized a loss of $77,530 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 in Loss on sale of assets, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
The Company's contract to provide emergency power services to support the grid stabilization project was also terminated as part of the sale transaction. All unrecognized contract liabilities and cost to fulfil at the time of termination were recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income (See Note 5). The Company believes that there are remedies available under the customer contract, and is currently in pursuit of these remedies. As the result of this process is uncertain, any transaction price associated with closing this contract has been fully constrained. The Company was awarded a gas sale agreement with PREPA under which the Company is continuing to provide gas supply to the sold turbines. In March 2025, the agreement was amended to extend the term by 100 days to end in June 2025.
- Revenue recognition
Operating revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income includes revenue from sales of LNG and natural gas as well as outputs from the Company’s natural gas-fueled power generation facilities, including power and steam, and the sale of LNG cargos. LNG cargo sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were$182,731, most of which was delivered from the Company's first FLNG asset. The Company didnot complete any cargo sales in the first quarter of 2024, and all volumes sold were delivered through the Company's terminals.

| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Interest income and other revenue | $11,449 | $4,931 |
| Operation and maintenance revenue | 28,770 | 29,231 |
| Total other revenue | $40,219 | $34,162 |
Operation and maintenance revenue is recognized by the Company's subsidiary, Genera PR LLC ("Genera"), under its contract for the operation and maintenance of PREPA's thermal generation assets. Under this agreement, Genera is paid a fixed annual fee and reimbursed for pass-through expenses, including payroll expenses of Genera employees. Amounts recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 include fixed fees and reimbursement of pass-through expenditures, and all variable consideration was fully constrained as of March 31, 2025.
Under most customer contracts, invoicing occurs once the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers totaled $269,393 and $330,944, respectively, and were included in Receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of current expected credit losses of $13,322 and $13,629, respectively. The Jamaica Business had Receivables, net of allowances, of $58,825 as of March 31, 2025, and this balance has been included in Assets held for sale within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other items included in Receivables, net not related to revenue from contracts with customers represent leases, which are accounted for outside the scope of ASC 606.
Contract assets include unbilled amounts resulting from contracts with variable considerations, in which the performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized. The Company has recognized contract liabilities, comprised of unconditional payments due or paid under the contracts with customers prior to the Company’s satisfaction of the related performance obligations. The contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are detailed below:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Contract assets, net - current | $19,317 | $44,902 |
| Contract assets, net - non-current | 13,847 | 20,270 |

| Total contract liabilities, net | $25,218 | $26,165 |
| Revenue recognized in the year from: | ||
| Amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the year | $1,285 | $82,454 |
Contract assets associated with the Jamaica Business of $5,340 have been reclassified to held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. Contract assets are presented net of expected credit losses of $539 and $158 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Contract liabilities associated with the Jamaica Business of $4,449 have been reclassified to held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025.
The Company has recognized costs to fulfill contracts with customers, which primarily consist of expenses required to enhance resources to deliver under agreements with these customers. These costs can include set-up and mobilization costs incurred ahead of the service period, and such costs will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected terms of the agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has capitalized $13,228 of which $1,602 of these costs is presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net and $11,626 is presented within Other non-current assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Jamaica Business had historically incurred cost to fulfill, and as of March 31, 2025, $9,006 of cost to fulfill is included in Assets held for sale within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had capitalized $22,797, of which $2,205 of these costs was presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net and $20,592 was presented within Other non-current assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Some of the Company’s contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of less than a year. The Company applied the optional exemption not to report any unfulfilled performance obligations related to these contracts.
The Company has arrangements in which LNG, natural gas or outputs from the Company’s power generation facilities are sold on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the customer is obligated to pay for the minimum guaranteed volumes even if it does not take delivery. The price under these agreements is typically based on a market index plus a fixed margin. The fixed transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under these arrangements represents the fixed margin multiplied by the outstanding minimum guaranteed volumes. The Company expects to recognize this revenue over the following time periods. The pattern of recognition, which includes revenues associated with the Company's operations in
Jamaica which have been classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2025, reflects the minimum guaranteed volumes in each period:
| Period | Revenue |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2025 | $287,455 |
| 2026 | 711,794 |
| 2027 | 710,060 |
| 2028 | 694,289 |
| 2029 | 680,097 |
| Thereafter | 9,140,101 |
| Total | $12,223,796 |
For all other sales contracts that have a term exceeding one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606. Under this expedient, the Company does not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. For these excluded contracts, the sources of variability are (a) the market index prices of natural gas used to price the contracts, and (b) the variation in volumes that may be delivered to the customer. Both sources of variability are expected to be resolved at or shortly before delivery of each unit of LNG, natural gas, power or steam. As each unit of LNG, natural gas, power or steam represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied.
Lessor arrangements
In August 2022, the Company completed a transaction with an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc., pursuant to which the Company transferred ownership of 11 vessels to Energos Infrastructure ("Energos") in exchange for approximately$1.85 billion in cash and a 20% equity interest in Energos (the “Energos Formation Transaction”). The Company's equity investment provided certain rights, including representation on the Energos board of directors, that gave the Company significant influence over the operations of Energos, and as such, the investment was accounted for under the equity method. Energos was also an affiliate, and all transactions with Energos were transactions with an affiliate. In February 2024, the Company sold substantially all of its stake in Energos.
Vessels that are chartered to customers under operating leases are recognized within Vessels in Note 12. Vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction, including those vessels chartered to third parties, continue to be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and as such, the carrying amount of these vessels that are leased to third parties under operating leases is as follows:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment | $617,595 | $602,192 |
| Accumulated depreciation | (88,970) | (83,135) |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | $528,625 | $519,057 |
The components of lease income from vessel operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are shown below. As the Company has not recognized the sale of all of the vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction, the operating lease income shown below for the three months ended March 31
, 2025 and March 31, 2024 includes revenue of $31,318 and $42,584 from third-party charters of vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction.
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Operating lease income | $40,907 | $43,359 |
| Variable lease income | 4,529 | 3,296 |
| Total operating lease income | $45,436 | $46,655 |
Subsequent to the Energos Formation Transaction, all cash receipts on long-term vessel charters are received by Energos. As such, future cash receipts from both operating and finance leases were not significant as of March 31, 2025.
- Leases, as lessee
The Company has oper ating leases primarily for the use of LNG vessels, marine port space, office space, land and equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements. The Company’s leases may include multiple optional renewal periods that are exercisable solely at the Company’s discretion. Renewal periods are included in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal options would be exercised, and the associated lease payments for such periods are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability.
The Company’s leases include fixed lease payments which may include escalation terms based on a fixed percentage or may vary based on an inflation index or other market adjustments. Escalations resulting from changes in inflation indices and market adjustments, as well as other lease costs that depend on the use of the underlying asset, are not considered lease payments when calculating the lease liability or ROU asset. Instead, such payments are accounted for as variable lease cost when the condition that triggers the variable payment becomes probable. Variable lease cost includes contingent rent payments for office space based on the percentage occupied by the Company in addition to common area charges and other charges that are variable in nature. The Company also has a component of lease payments that are variable related to the LNG vessels, in which the Company may receive credits based on the performance of the LNG vessels during the period.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, ROU assets, current lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities consisted of the following:

| Operating Leases · Financing Leases | ||
|---|---|---|
| Due remainder of 2025 | $118,725 | $2,870 |
| 2026 | 110,509 | 2,592 |
| 2027 | 110,559 | 89 |

As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 7.0 years and finance leases was 3.0 years. Because the Company generally does not have access to the rate implicit in the lease, the incremental borrowing rate is utilized as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate associated with operating leases as of March 31, 2025 was 10.3% and as of December 31, 2024 was 10.3%. The weighted average discount rate associated with finance leases as of March 31, 2025 was 5.3% and as of December 31, 2024 was 5.2%.
- Financial instruments
Foreign currency risk management
During 2024, the Company entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts and zero-cost collars to reduce exchange rate risk associated with U.S. dollar borrowings and expected capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2025, the notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts was approximately $131,387. These instruments are expected to settle through the third quarter of 2026. The Company recognized unrealized losses, net of $17,610 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for these foreign currency contracts. The Company recognized unrealized loss of $822 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company also recognized realized gains of $3,247 upon settlement of a portion of the foreign exchange contracts during thethree months ended March 31, 2025.
The mark-to-market gain or loss on the foreign exchange forward contracts and zero-cost collars are reported in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
The Company does not hold or issue instruments for speculative purposes, and the counterparties to such contracts are major banking and financial institutions. Credit risk exists to the extent that the counterparties are unable to perform under the contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by any counterparties.
Embedded contingent interest derivative
During 2024, the Company entered into a side letter with lenders in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, under which the Company's interest on the Term Loan A would increase by 2% if the lenders demand that the Company pursue a refinancing of the Term Loan A and the Company is not able to successfully refinance. This contingent interest feature meets the definition of a derivative and requires bifurcation from the debt host contract. Changes to the fair value of this derivative are recognized within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Fair value
Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Market approach – uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Income approach – uses valuation techniques, such as the discounted cash flow technique, to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts.
Cost approach – based on the amount that currently would be necessary to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
The Company uses the market approach when valuing investment in equity securities and foreign exchange forward contracts which are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net, Other non-current assets, net, and Other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company uses the income approach for valuing thecontingent consideration derivative liabilities and embedded contingent interest derivative. The contingent consideration derivative liabilities represent consideration due to the sellers in asset acquisitions when certain contingent events occur and are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities based on the timing of expected settlement. The embedded contingent interest derivative represents incremental interest payments due to the lenders when certain contingent events occur and is recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities based on the timing of expected payments.
The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated considering current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company estimates fair value of the contingent consideration derivative liabilities using a discounted cash flows method with discount rates based on the average yield curve for bonds with similar credit ratings and matching terms to the discount periods as well as a probability of the contingent events occurring. The Company estimates fair value of the embedded contingent interest derivative using a discounted cash flows method with discount rate based on the effective interest rate for the debt host instrument as well as a probability of the contingent events occurring.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including those that are measured at fair value, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| Investment in equity securities | $— | $— | $8,678 | $8,678 |
| Foreign exchange contracts | — | 4,957 | — | 4,957 |
| Liabilities | ||||
| Contingent consideration derivative liabilities | — | — | 40,949 | 40,949 |
| Embedded contingent interest derivative | — | — | 6,387 | 6,387 |
| Assets | ||||
| Investment in equity securities | $— | $— | $8,678 | $8,678 |
| Foreign exchange contracts | — | 22,055 | — | 22,055 |

| Foreign exchange contracts | — | 1,168 | — | 1,168 |
| Contingent consideration derivative liabilities | — | — | 41,984 | 41,984 |
| Embedded contingent interest derivative | — | — | 10,629 | 10,629 |
The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The table below summarizes the fair value adjustment to instruments measured at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The adjustments to contingent consideration derivative liabilities and embedded contingent interest derivative for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are shown below:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Contingent consideration derivative liabilities - Fair value adjustment - (gain) | $(2,375) | $(636) |
| Embedded contingent interest derivative - Fair value adjustment - (gain) | (4,241) | — |
During thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company hadno transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company sold substantially all of its investment in Energos; this investment had been accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company retained an investment in Energos valued at$1,000, which is shown as a Level 3 investment in equity securities in the table above.

- Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill
Upon classification of the Jamaica Business as held for sale on March 31, 2025, the Company allocated $172,094 of goodwill from the Terminals and Infrastructure Reporting unit to include in the carrying value of the disposal group on a relative fair value basis. Consequently, the Company performed an impairment test for the goodwill of the remaining Terminals and Infrastructure reporting unit, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2025. The carrying amount of goodwill within the Terminals and Infrastructure reporting unit and Ships reporting unit was $578,318 and $15,938, and $750,412 and $15,938, respectively, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company reviews the carrying values of goodwill at least annually to assess impairment since these assets are not amortized. An annual impairment assessment is conducted as of October 1st of each year. Additionally, the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Subsequent to quarter-end and through the date of this filing, the Company has experienced a significant decline in its market capitalization, from $2.3 billion to $1.9 billion (as of May 14, 2025). Management is evaluating whether this decline represents a triggering event for assessing the goodwill and intangible asset balances for impairment in the second quarter of 2025.

In the third quarter of 2023, An Bord Pleanála (“ABP”), Ireland's planning commission, denied our application for the development of an LNG terminal and power plant. We challenged this decision, and in September 2024, the High Court of Ireland ruled that the ABP did not have appropriate grounds for the denial of our permit. In March 2025, APB withdrew their appeal to the September 2024 High Court decision. ABP is now reconsidering our planning application in accordance with Irish Law. Further, in March 2025, ABP granted the Company's application to construct a 600 MW power plant and a separate application to construct the 220 kV electricity interconnect. The Company is able to fuel this power plant via the LNG marine import terminal, if approved, or using gas provided from the Company's permitted pipeline interconnection. The continued development of this project is uncertain and there are multiple risks, including regulatory risks, which could preclude the development of this project; however, management continues to assess all options in respect of future developments for the land held.

Term Loan B Credit Agreement
In March 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan B Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, certain lenders agreed to provide incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $425,000, which increased the total outstanding principal amount to $1,272,440 ("Term Loan B"). The incremental term loans were issued at a discount, and the Company received proceeds, net of discount, of $391,000. Net proceeds will be used primarily to fund capital expenditures of the onshore FLNG project, and for other corporate expenses. The incremental term loans are subject to the same maturity date as the term loans under the original agreement. Quarterly principal payments of approximately $3,181 are required beginning June 2025.
The Term Loan B is secured by the same collateral that secures the term loans under the original agreement. The Term Loan B bears interest at a per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the amendment) plus 5.5%. The Company may prepay the Term Loan B at its option subject to prepayment premiums until March 10, 2028 and customary break funding costs. The Company is required to prepay the Term Loan B with the net proceeds of certain asset sales, condemnations, and debt and convertible securities issuances and with the Company's Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the amendment), in each case subject to certain exceptions and thresholds. The Company must comply with the same covenant requirements as those under the original agreement.
The amendment was accounted for as a modification, and fees paid to lenders of $20,000 were deferred and will be amortized over the remaining life of the Term Loan B Credit Agreement. The additional third party costs associated with the amendment of $2,727 were recognized as expense in Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of March 31, 2025, total remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, including the unamortized original issue discount, for the Term Loan B was$120,675. In connection with the amendment, all unused term loan commitments under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement were terminated.
Term Loan A Credit Agreement
In March 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan A Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the future borrowing commitments are reduced tozero, eliminating the potential for future borrowings under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement. As a result of the amendment, $18,121 of origination, structuring and other fees, which were previously capitalized in Other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Brazil Financing Notes
In February 2025, one of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries entered into an agreement to issue up to $350,000 aggregate principal amount of 15.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Brazil Financing Notes”) at a purchase price of 97.75% of par. The Brazil Financing Notes mature on August 30, 2029; the principal is due in full on the maturity date. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears beginning on June 30, 2025, and for the first 30 months that the Brazil Financing Notes are outstanding, interest due can be paid in kind and added to the principal amount. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Brazil Financing Notes of $208,727 was used to repay the Barcarena Debentures in full.
The repayment of the Barcarena Debentures was evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment of debt. As a result of this evaluation, a portion of the repayment was determined to be an extinguishment of debt and, therefore, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $392 to write off a pro-rata amount of unamortized issuance costs. A portion of the repayment was treated as modification, and fees and unamortized issuance costs amounted to $3,484 that were attributable to the lender that participated in both the Barcarena Debentures and the Brazil Financing Notes will be amortized over the life of the Brazil Financing Notes. The additional third-party fees associated with the Brazil Financing Notes of $3,826 were recognized as expense in Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of March 31, 2025, total remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, including the unamortized original issue discount, for the Brazil Financing Notes were $11,223.
PortoCem Debentures
The PortoCem Debentures included a non-automatic early maturity provision whereby upon multiple downgrades of the Company’s credit rating, early maturity may be declared if approved by the majority of debenture holders. Prior to the issuance of these financial statements, the Company’s credit ratings were downgraded, triggering the right of the debenture holders to determine if an early maturity event should be declared. On May 23, 2025, the debenture holders unanimously permanently waived their ability to declare an early maturity event due to this credit ratings downgrade. In connection with the debenture holders' decision to not declare an early maturity event, the Company agreed to provide a bank guarantee of $129,100 prior to August 17, 2025.
On June 5, 2025, the Company received an additional downgrade of its credit rating, which triggered a non-automatic event of early maturity under the PortoCem Debenture. On June 26, 2025, the debenture holders unanimously permanently waived their ability to declare an early maturity event due to this credit ratings downgrade. No additional collateral was required; however, the Company will instead provide $50,000 of the previously required bank guarantee on or before July 7, 2025, and the remaining $79,100 prior to August 17, 2025. Additionally, the debenture holders agreed to amend the debenture agreement to suspend the covenant that allows for a non-automatic early maturity event upon certain downgrades of the Company’s credit rating through August 30, 2026.

- Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was (17.0)% compared to 27.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The total tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $28,670 compared to a provision of $21,624 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released the Pillar Two model rules to reform international corporate taxation that aim to ensure that applicable multinationals pay a minimum global effective tax rate of 15%. The rules are passed into national legislation based on each country's approach, and some countries already enacted or substantively enacted the rules. The Company continuously evaluates these developments and the potential impact of the Pillar Two framework. For the fiscal year 2025, the Company is not expected to meet certain transitional safe harbors. As a result, the Company may be subject to Pillar Two tax obligations which would increase the Company's total tax expense. Tax expense from Pillar Two is recorded as a period cost, the estimate of which has been included in the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
- Commitments and contingencies
The Company is subject to certain legal and regulatory proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In the first quarter of 2025 Alunorte Alumina do Norte do Brasil S.A. ("Alunorte") initiated arbitration proceedings at the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). Alunorte claims it is owed damages for alleged delays by the Company to supply gas at the Barcarena Facility and is claiming damages up to BRL 375.7 million ($65.4 million using exchange rates as of March 31, 2025). The Company believes Alunorte’s claims are without merit and not supported by the contract between the parties, and as a result the Company plans to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings. However, due to the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of arbitration, the amount of any potential loss is uncertain. The Company has not accrued any potential losses as of March 31, 2025.

- Segments
As of March 31, 2025, the Company operates intwo reportable segments: Terminals and Infrastructure and Ships:
Terminals and Infrastructure includes the Company’s vertically integrated gas to power solutions, spanning the entire production and delivery chain from natural gas procurement and liquefaction to logistics, shipping, facilities and conversion or development of natural gas-fired power generation. Vessels that are utilized in the Company’s terminal, logistics or sub-charter operations are included in this segment.
Ships includes certain vessels that are currently chartered to third parties under long-term arrangements and are part of the Energos Formation Transaction; three vessels are currently included in this segment. The Company’s investment in Energos was also included in the Ships segment prior to the disposition of this investment in the first quarter of 2024.
The Company's CEO who is the CODM, uses Segment Operating Margin to evaluate the performance of the segments and allocate resources. Segment Operating Margin is defined as the segment’s revenue less cost of sales less operations and maintenance less vessel operating expenses, excluding unrealized gains or losses to financial instruments recognized at fair value. The CODM includes deferred earnings from contracted sales for which a prepayment was received in the current period in the segment measure.
The CODM considers Segment Operating Margin to be the appropriate metric to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s segments on a consistent basis across reporting periods as it eliminates the effect of items which management does not believe are indicative of each segment’s operating performance.

The Company plans to use the remaining proceeds to reinvest in the Company’s business and repay indebtedness under the Amended TLA (as defined below).
The Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) which amends that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2024 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing TLA” and the Existing TLA as amended by the Fifth Amendment, the “Amended TLA”).
The Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to Uncommitted Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) which amends that certain Uncommitted Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2021 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing ULCA” and the Existing ULCA as amended by the Eighth Amendment, the “Amended ULCA”), by and among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, Natixis, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, Natixis, New York Branch, as ULCA Collateral Agent, Natixis, New York Branch, and each of the other financial institutions party thereto, as Lenders and Issuing Banks.
The Fifth Amendment, the Eighth Amendment and the Twelfth Amendment are referred to herein collectively as the “Amendments;” the Amended TLA, the Amended ULCA and the Amended RCF are referred to herein collectively as the
“Amended Credit Agreements.” The Existing TLA, the Existing ULCA and Existing RCF are referred to herein collectively as the “Existing Credit Agreements.”
The Twelfth Amendment, among other things, (i) provides for a covenant holiday with respect to the consolidated first lien debt ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio contained therein for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2025, (ii) permits $270,000 of proceeds from the sale of the Jamaica Business to be used to prepay and terminate a portion of loans and commitments currently outstanding and otherwise does not require the proceeds of the sale of the Jamaica Business to be used to prepay loans and commitments and (iii) provides that the asset sale sweep mandatory prepayment will now terminate effectiveness once aggregate commitments are reduced to $550,000 from $600,000.
The Fifth Amendment, among other things, (i) requires $55,000 of proceeds from the sale of the Jamaica Business to be used to prepay a portion of loans currently outstanding and otherwise does not require the proceeds from the sale of the Jamaica Business to be used to prepay loans; (ii) increases the applicable margin to 6.70% for SOFR loans and 5.70% for Base Rate Loans and implements a SOFR floor of 4.30% and a base rate floor of 5.30%; (iii) requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments with 12.5% of proceeds of a $659,000 request for equitable adjustment and any other proceeds related to the early termination of our FEMA contracts, if and when such proceeds are received, to pay down a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under loans thereunder and, in the case of certain asset sales, reduce the commitments thereunder.

The Fifth Amendment added a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and removed the debt to total capitalization covenant to the Amended TLA. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025, the Company cannot permit the fixed charge coverage ratio for the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to be less than or equal to 0.80 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025 and, for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter,1.00 to 1.00.
