Endnotes
Certain of the below Endnotes include forward-looking statements. Please see our note regarding "Forward-Looking Statements" on the slide titled "Disclaimers" of this Investor Update (the
"Presentation"). Please evaluate this Presentation in connection with the risk factors in our public reports, including our report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020.
(1) "Run-Rate" means the date on which management currently estimates the initial ramp-up of operations on a particular facility will be over, and the facility will be using natural gas or producing
LNG at a sustainable level. "Run-Rate Volumes" refers to the volumes of natural gas or LNG that are being used or produced. Volumes of LNG and natural gas that we are able to deliver and sell
through a particular facility may keep increasing after the Run Rate date due to additional large or small scale customers being added for service by the facility, so the Run Rate does not
represent the date on which management expects the relevant facility to be operating at its full capacity. It is also possible for a facility to be operating at Run-Rate volumes prior to full
commercial operations, and there can be no assurance if or when full commercial operations will occur. Operations of such projects at their full capacity volumes will occur later than, and may
occur substantially later than, Run Rate. We cannot assure you if or when such projects will reach the date Run Rate or full capacity volumes. Actual results could differ materially from the
illustration and there can be no assurance we will achieve our goal.
(2) "Illustrative Annualized Operating Margin Goal" means our goal for Operating Margin under certain illustrative conditions, presented on a run rate basis by multiplying the average volume we
expect to sell in the last quarter of the relevant period by four.
"Operating Margin" means the sum of (i) Net income / (loss), (ii) Selling, general and administrative, (iii) Depreciation and amortization, (iv) Interest expense, (v) Other (income) expense, net (vi)
Contract termination charges and Loss on Mitigation Sales, (vii) Loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and (viii) Tax expense (benefit), each as reported on our financial statements. Operating
Margin is mathematically equivalent to Revenue minus Cost of sales minus Operations and maintenance, each as reported in our financial statements. Operating Margin is a Non-GAAP Financial
Measure. Please see the Appendix to this Presentation for a reconciliation to our nearest GAAP measure and an explanation of the uses and limitations of Operating Margin.
This goal reflects the volumes of LNG that it is our goal to sell under binding contracts multiplied by the average price per unit at which we expect to price LNG deliveries, including both fuel
sales and capacity charges or other fixed fees, less the cost per unit at which we expect to purchase or produce and deliver such LNG or natural gas, including the cost to (i) purchase natural gas,
liquefy it, and transport it to one of our terminals or purchase LNG in strip cargos or on the spot market, (ii) transfer the LNG into an appropriate ship and transport it to our terminals or facilities,
(iii) deliver the LNG, regasify it to natural gas and deliver it to our customers or our power plants and (iv) maintain and operate our terminals, facilities and power plants. There can be no
assurance that the costs of purchasing or producing LNG, transporting the LNG and maintaining and operating our terminals and facilities will result in the Illustrative Annualized Operating
Margins reflected.
For the purpose of this Presentation, we have assumed an average Operating Margin of between $5.29 and $7.57 per MMBtu, because we assume that (i) we purchase gas between $2.25 and
$5.63 per MMBtu for the remaining periods in 2020 in spot cargos, and at a weighted average of $3.80 in 2021, in a combination of strip and spot cargos, (ii) our volumes increase over time, and
(iii) we will have costs related to shipping, logistics and regasification similar to our current operations because the liquefaction facility and related infrastructure and supply chain to deliver LNG
from Pennsylvania does not exist, and those costs will be distributed over the larger volumes.
These costs do not include expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded on our financial statements, including the return of or return on capital expenditures for the relevant
project, and selling, general and administrative costs. Our current cost of natural gas per MMBtu are higher than the costs we would need to achieve our Illustrative Annualized Operating Margin
Goal, and the primary drivers for reducing these costs are the reduced costs of purchasing gas and the increased sales volumes, which result in lower fixed costs being spread over a larger
number of MMBtus sold. References to volumes, percentages of such volumes and the Illustrative Annualized Operating Margin Goal related to such volumes (i) are not based on the Company's
historical operating results, which are limited, and (ii) do not purport to be an actual representation of our future economics. We cannot assure you if or when we will enter into contracts for sales
of additional LNG, the price at which we will be able to sell such LNG, or our costs to produce and sell such LNG. Actual results could differ materially from the illustration and there can be no
assurance we will achieve our goal.
