Projected Distributable Cash Flow from LNG Rio Grande LNG Export Project Trains 1 - 3 Combined: Projected Distributable Cash Flow² - Trains 4 5 Combined: Projected Distributable Cash Flow³ Trains 1 - 5 Combined: Projected Distributable Cash Flow 20-Year Average¹ ($ in Billions per Year) $ 0.3 - $ 0.2 $ 1.0 - $ 0.7 $ 1.3 $ 0.9 1 Assumed liquefaction capacity per train is nameplate and does not include potential de-bottlenecking expected to be instituted across the Rio Grande LNG facility. The Projected Distributable Cash Flow presented are the average annual estimated cash flows of the first 20 years of full commercial operations for Trains 1 - 3 Combined and Trains 4 - 5 Combined, respectively. Commodity prices used to generate the Projected Distributable Cash Flow are based on a range of prices derived from analysis of historical and forward market observations for global LNG, Henry Hub, Brent and gas supply in South Texas and are held flat. Estimated operating costs and SPA inflation escalators are inflated annually at an assumed CPI from 2022. 2 Projected Distributable Cash Flow reflects NextDecade's expected economic interest in Trains 1 - 3. Under terms of the RGLNG Phase 1 joint venture agreement, NextDecade is entitled to receive up to approximately 20.8% of distributions of available cash during operations; provided that a majority of the distributions to which NextDecade is otherwise entitled will be paid for any distribution period only after the Financial Investors reach an agreed distribution threshold in respect of such distribution period and certain other deficit payments from prior distribution periods, if any, are made. Any such shortfall in distributions that NextDecade would otherwise have been entitled to will accrue as an arrearage to be paid out in future periods until the applicable target distribution threshold for the Financial Investors has been achieved. Projected Distributable Cash Flow is based on actual SPA terms and pricing on the 16.2 mtpa of contracted volumes, actual project costs at NTP, financing costs resulting from transactions closed at FID, and estimated costs associated with refinancing project debt from construction to term loan facilities based on analysis of historical and forward market observations. 3 Projected Distributable Cash Flow reflects a range of contracted LNG volumes, and estimated project and financing costs based on analysis of historical and forward market observations. Train 4 and Train 5 EPC costs have been estimated based on the current market prices plus inflation and will not be finalized until FID of each Train. The Financial Investors hold options to participate in Trains 4 and 5 equity that will adjust from a total of 50% down to a total of 30% based on achieving certain returns on their investments in Trains 4 and 5. Total Energies holds options to participate in 10% of Trains 4 and 5 equity conditioned on exercising its SPA options in the respective trains. Projected Distributable Cash Flow assumes Financial Investors and TotalEnergies exercise 100% of their participation options in Trains 4 and 5 equity. Projected Distributable Cash Flow is presented without any adjustment for the cost of the capital to be contributed by NextDecade for Trains 4 and 5. Projected Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as the operating income of RGLNG, less project-level interest expense and debt amortization and is presented based on NextDecade's expected economic interests in each train less estimated corporate general and administrative expense necessary to operate NextDecade Corporation and oversee its investment in RGLNG. The estimated corporate general and administrative expense included represents an estimated run-rate once RGLNG is fully operational and does not include estimated expenses for future development activities prior to full RGLNG operations. The Projected Distributable Cash Flow does not include any expected NEXT Carbon Solutions' cash flow from operations. Management believes that Projected Distributable Cash Flow will be meaningful to investors as it provides an estimate of NextDecade's expected interest in the cash flows generated by its stand-alone LNG business. The estimated values set forth herein have been based on internal estimates of projected cash flow developed by management of the Company and assume that the Company will achieve its financial projections in all material respects. Such financial projections reflect the Company's best currently available estimates and reflect its good faith judgments and assumptions it considers reasonable. Events and conditions subsequent to this date as well as other factors could have a substantial effect upon the estimated values. The Company gives no assurance that the estimated values will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them.
