•In the first and second quarters of 2025, we recognized operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and this decline in earnings accelerated in the second quarter of 2025. Our 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 (iii) cash tax payments resulting from the taxable gain on the sale of the Jamaica Business in May 2025.

Current wording

•We recognized operating losses and negative operating cash flows during each of the first three quarters of 2025, with this decline in earnings accelerating in the second quarter of 2025.

•We were required to provide a $79,100 bank guarantee to holders of the PortoCem Debentures on or before August 17, 2025; this guarantee was not provided by the deadline, and as a result, a majority of debenture holders have the right to call for a meeting of holders and declare an event of early maturity. If the debenture holders exercise their right to declare an early maturity, substantially all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness would be payable on demand.

•We were required to provide a $79.1 million bank guarantee to holders of the PortoCem Debentures on or before August 17, 2025; this guarantee was not provided by the deadline, and as a result, a majority of debenture holders had the right to call for a meeting of holders and declare an event of early maturity. On October 11, 2025, the debenture holders unanimously permanently waived their ability to declare an early maturity event due to the failure to provide the bank guarantee. The remaining $79.1 million bank guarantee is now due on or before May 10, 2026, and if this guarantee or an equivalent amount of equity contribution to the project company is not made by this date, an automatic early maturity event will exist under the amended debenture agreement. We are discussing providing this bank guarantee with our creditors under new credit arrangements, and should additional financing or credit capacity be provided under new credit agreements, we intend to comply with the requirements of the waiver. However, based on our current liquidity, we determined that it is not currently probable that the bank guarantee can be provided, absent an agreement with our existing creditors or new lenders. If such automatic early maturity event were to occur, substantially all of our outstanding indebtedness would be payable on demand.

We are currently engaged in discussions with holders of the PortoCem Debentures to obtain a waiver of the debenture holders’ ability to declare an event of early maturity. Should we not be in compliance with covenants in the Revolving Facility, Letter of Credit Facility and Term Loan A, we will engage in negotiations with these lenders to obtain a waiver to avoid acceleration of outstanding balances. We have also initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives and have retained a financial advisor to assist in this evaluation. We, along with our advisors, are considering all options available, including asset sales, capital raising, debt amendments and refinancing transactions, and other strategic transactions that seek to provide additional liquidity and relief from acceleration under its debt agreements. There are inherent uncertainties as the outcome of these negotiations and potential transactions described above are outside management’s control, and therefore there are no assurances that management will be successful in these negotiations and that any of these potential transactions will occur. In addition, there can be no assurances that these transactions will sufficiently improve our liquidity or that we will otherwise realize the anticipated benefits.

Our operations are, and will be, dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in the markets in which we operate. In the United States, due mainly to a historic abundant supply of natural gas and discoveries of substantial quantities of unconventional or shale natural gas, imported LNG has not developed into a significant energy source. The success of the domestic liquefaction component of our business plan is dependent, in part, on the extent to which natural gas can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced in the United States at a lower cost than the cost to produce some domestic supplies of other alternative energy sources, and that it can be transported at reasonable rates through appropriately scaled infrastructure. LNG prices have increased materially in the past, including in August 2021 through the end of 2022, and global events, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and global inflationary pressures, have generated further energy pricing volatility, which have had and may in the future have an adverse effect on market pricing of LNG and global demand for our products, as well as our ability to remain competitive in the markets in which we operate. Potential expansion in the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of the world where we may operate is primarily dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in those geographical locations.

Potential expansion in the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of the world where we may operate is primarily dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in those geographical locations. For example, in the Caribbean, due mainly to a lack of regasification infrastructure and an underdeveloped international market for natural gas, natural gas has not yet developed into a significant energy source. In Brazil, hydroelectric power generation is the predominant source of electricity and LNG is one of several other energy sources used to supplement hydroelectric generation. The success of our operations is dependent, in part, on the extent to which LNG can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced internationally and delivered to our customers at a lower cost than the cost to deliver other alternative energy sources.

Political instability in foreign countries that export LNG, or strained relations between such countries and countries in the Caribbean and Latin America, may also impede the willingness or ability of LNG suppliers and merchants in such countries to export LNG to the Caribbean, Latin America and other countries where we operate or seek to operate. Furthermore, some foreign suppliers of LNG may have economic or other reasons to direct their LNG to other markets or from or to our competitors’ LNG facilities. Natural gas also competes with other sources of energy, including coal, oil, nuclear, hydrogen, hydroelectric, wind and solar energy, which may become available at a lower cost in certain markets. As a result of these and other factors, natural gas may not be a competitive source of energy in the markets we intend to serve or elsewhere. The failure of natural gas to be a competitive supply alternative to oil and other alternative energy sources could adversely affect our ability to deliver LNG or natural gas to our customers on a commercial basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, ability to realize benefits from future projects, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.

In the United States and Puerto Rico, approvals of the DOE under Section 3 of the NGA, as well as several other material governmental and regulatory permits, approvals and authorizations, including under the CAA and the CWA and their state analogues, may be required in order to construct and operate an LNG facility and export LNG. Permits, approvals and authorizations obtained from the DOE and other federal and state regulatory agencies also contain ongoing conditions, and additional requirements may be imposed. On July 1, 2024, the Western District of Louisiana stayed the pause in its entirety, The Biden Administration appealed the ruling in August 2024 and litigation remains ongoing. On December 17, 2024, the DOE publicly released a multi-volume study of its view of the potential effects of U.S. LNG exports on the domestic economy; U.S. households and consumers; communities that live near locations where natural gas is produced or exported; domestic and international energy security, including effects of U.S. trading partners; and the environment and climate. The DOE stated that it intends to use this study to inform its public interest review of and future decisions regarding exports to non-FTA nations. The study is subject to a sixty-day public comment period and the finalization of the study and any application of it in future decision-making will be determined by the new presidential administration. Although President Trump opposed the DOE pause on export authorizations and advocated prompt of new authorizations during his presidential campaign, we expect that most DOE long-term, non-FTA authorizations will continue to experience delays. While the Trump Administration is widely expected to support LNG exports, there can be no assurance as to its views of the DOE study or its future policies, or the impact of those policies on our existing and future projects.

LNG processed, transported and stored on FSRUs may be subject to loss or damage resulting from equipment malfunction, faulty handling, cargo ageing or otherwise. Where we have chartered in, but subsequently not outchartered an FSRU, which in turn results in our being unable to transfer risk of loss or damage, we could bear the risk of loss or damage to all those volumes of LNG for the period of time during which those applicable volumes of LNG are stored on an FSRU or are dispatched to a pipeline. Any such disruption to the supply of LNG and natural gas may lead to delays, disruptions or curtailments in the production of power at our facilities, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues, financial condition and results of operations.

Our principal strategy for our FSRU and LNG carriers is to provide steady and reliable shipping, regasification and offshore operations to NFE terminals and, to the extent favorable to our business, replace or enter into new long-term carrier time charters for our vessels. For new LNG projects, LNG ships continue to be provided on a long-term basis, though the level of spot voyages and short-term time charters of less than 12 months in duration together with medium term charters of up to five years has increased in recent years. This trend is expected to continue as the spot market for LNG expands and becomes more liquid. More frequent changes to vessel sizes, propulsion technology and emissions profile, retirements of older vessels, together with an increasing desire by charterers to access modern tonnage could also reduce the appetite of charterers to commit to long-term charters that match their full requirement period. As a result, the duration of long-term charters could also decrease over time. We may also face increased difficulty entering into long-term time charters upon the expiration or early termination of our contracts.

We have developed our Fast LNG strategy to procure and deliver LNG to our customers more quickly and cost-effectively than traditional LNG procurement and delivery strategies used by other market participants. Our ability to create and maintain a competitive position in the natural gas liquefaction industry may be adversely affected by our inability to effectively implement our Fast LNG technology. We have commenced operations at our first Fast LNG solution, but we have not yet supplied any LNG from that facility to customers, and are therefore subject to risks related to full commercial development of the facility. We are also developing our first onshore LNG facility and are therefore subject to construction risks, risks associated with third-party contracting (including the risk that we will not be able to execute contracts with third parties that are necessary to develop the project) and service providers, permitting and regulatory risks. See “—We are subject to various construction risks” and “—We depend on third-party contractors, operators and suppliers.” Because our Fast LNG technology has not been previously implemented, tested or proven, we are also exposed to unknown and unforeseen risks associated with the development of new technologies, including failure to meet design, engineering, or performance specifications, incompatibility of systems, inability to contract or employ third parties with sufficient experience in technologies used or inability by contractors to perform their work, delays and schedule changes, high costs and expenses that may be subject to increase or difficult to anticipate, regulatory and legal challenges, instability or clarity of application of laws, rules and regulations to the technology, and added difficulties in obtaining or securing required permits or authorizations, among others. For example, in April 2024, we experienced an incident involving equipment failure during the commissioning of our Fast LNG project in Altamira, Mexico, which delayed our commencement of operations and resulted in increased costs and delay of commencement of revenue generating activity. See “—Failure to obtain and maintain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies and third parties on favorable terms could impede operations and construction.” The success and profitability of our Fast LNG technology is also dependent on the volatility of the price of natural gas and LNG compared to the related levels of capital spending required to implement the technology. Natural gas and LNG prices have at various times been and may become volatile due to one or more factors. Volatility or weakness in natural gas or LNG prices could render our LNG procured through Fast LNG too expensive for our customers, and we may not be able to obtain our anticipated return on our investment or make our technology profitable. In addition, we may seek to construct and develop floating offshore liquefaction units as part o…

On an ongoing basis, we engage with lenders and other financial institutions in an effort to improve our liquidity and capital resources. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $9.1 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding on a consolidated basis (which does not include any unconsolidated debt). The terms and conditions of our indebtedness, including the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2029 Notes Indenture, the Intercompany Credit Agreements and the Existing Credit Agreements (each as defined in our Annual Report), include restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to operate our business, to incur or refinance our debt, pay dividends or make distributions or make certain other restricted payments, create liens on our or our subsidiaries' assets, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, engage in certain transactions, and require us to maintain certain financial ratios, among others, any of which may limit our ability to finance future operations and capital needs, react to changes in our business and in the economy generally, and to pursue business opportunities and activities. Based on our recent performance, we do not expect to be able to comply with with the consolidated first lien ratio or the fixed charge coverage ratio included within the Revolving Facility, Letter of Credit Facility and Term Loan A. If the Company is not in compliance with these covenants and this non-compliance is not waived, the lenders under those facilities have the right to accelerate the repayment of the outstanding principal under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan A and require cash collateralization of all outstanding letters of credit. If the lenders under those facilities choose to accelerate, substantially all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness would be payable on demand. If we fail to comply with any of these covenants or restrictions or are unable to pay our debt service when due, our debt could be accelerated or cross-accelerated, and we cannot assure you that we will have the ability to repay such accelerated debt. Any such default could also have adverse consequences to our status and reporting requirements, reducing our ability to quickly access the capital markets. Additionally, our Existing Credit Agreements and the intercompany loan agreements securing, directly or indirectly, the New 2029 Notes require proceeds of certain asset sales be used to pay down existing indebtedness, which may further limit our ability to operate our business and finance future operations and capital needs.

Nardone and affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Founder Entities”) owned an aggregate of approximately 92,230,509 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 32.8% of our voting power, and affiliates of Energy Transition Holdings LLC, party to the Shareholders' Agreement, own an aggregate of approximately 25,559,846 shares of our Class A common stock, representing approximately 9.0% of the voting power of our Class A common stock. The beneficial ownership of almost 50% of our voting stock means affiliates of the Founder Entities and Energy Transition Holdings LLC are able to have significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, changes to our organizational documents and significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership makes it unlikely that any other holder or group of holders of our Class A common stock will be able to affect the way we are managed or the direction of our business. The interests of these parties with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us, such as future acquisitions, financings and other corporate opportunities and attempts to acquire us, may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders, including holders of the Class A common stock.

Previous wording

To raise capital, we may sell substantial amounts of Class A common stock or securities convertible into our exchangeable for Class A common stock. These future issuances of Class A common stock or Class A common stock-related securities to purchase Class A common stock, together with the exercise of outstanding restricted stock units and any additional shares issued in connection with other transactions, if any, may result in material dilution to our investors. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A common stock. In particular, on October 1, 2024, we exchanged 96,746 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for 96,746 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Such shares are convertible at the option of the holders thereof into shares of Class A common stock on the terms set forth in the certificate of designations governing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Additionally, on December 6, 2024, we issued 15,700,998 shares of our Class A common stock in satisfaction of our commitment fee obligations under the Exchange and Subscription Agreement in connection with the issuance of the New 2029 Notes.

Previous wording

On May 14, 2025, we completed the sale of our Jamaica Business to Excelerate Energy, Inc. for cash consideration of $1,055 million. After the repayment of all outstanding South Power Bonds in the amount of approximately $227.2 million and payment of certain transaction costs in the amount of approximately $50.9 million, we received net proceeds of approximately $678.5 million, with an additional approximately $98.6 million of proceeds held in escrow. We expect to benefit from the remaining net proceeds realized from such sale, including through repaying a portion of our corporate debt and reinvestment in our business. However, our consolidated results of operations and consolidated condition is expected to be materially adversely affected by the disposition of this revenue generating asset. The loss of earnings from our Jamaica Business may diminish our ability to service our indebtedness and repay our indebtedness at maturity. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that we will be able to realize the anticipated benefits from the transaction, including benefits related to a reduction in our corporate debt and our ability to reinvest the proceeds profitably.
