7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Endnotes "Illustrative Adjusted Net Income Guidance" reflects our Illustrative Total Segment Operating Margin, excluding interest expenses from our debt facilities assuming a weighted average interest rate of 9.39% on $6.2bn pro forma outstanding debt offset by capitalized income of approximately $199mm in 2023, taxed at an effective tax rate of approximately 13.1%, corporate SGA expenses of approximately $155mm per year, approximately $40mm illustrative income from equity investments in joint ventures, interest on outstanding cash balances equal to approximately 3.5% on unrestricted cash accounts, and depreciation and amortization in an aggregate amount of $253mm on our operating assets, including FLNG depreciated over a 20-year life starting on its expected date of start of operations. References to amounts, rates and the Illustrative Total Segment Operating Margin related to such amounts (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. Actual circumstances could differ materially from the assumptions, and actual performance and results could differ materially from, and there can be no assurance that they will reflect, our corporate guidance. Capex, capital expenditure, capital investment or similar metrics not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, offers a useful supplemental view of the overall operation of our business in evaluating the effectiveness of our ongoing operating performance in a manner that is consistent with metrics used for management's evaluation of the Company's overall performance. We believe this measure is a useful performance measure for management, investors and other users of our financial information to evaluate the investment of capital or assets in our projects. We calculate our capital expenditures based on the book value of our property, plant and equipment, plus the value of construction in progress based on management's estimates, plus goodwill for the relevant project, before deducting any accumulated depreciation as presented in the relevant Form 10-K or Form 10-Q for the relevant financial period. For our Barcarena Power Plant and Terminal and Santa Catarina Terminal, capital expenditure represents amounts attributable to the purchase of those assets as part of our acquisition of Hygo completed in 2021. For our FLNG 1 project, capital expenditure represents management's estimates of costs directly applicable to our FLNG 1 project. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. "Illustrative Capex Guidance" means management's expectations regarding the funding of the committed expenditures reflected and the estimated expenditures for the development of our projects. The estimated expenditures, including those related to project costs, are based on specified assumptions that may not be based on a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be relied upon for any reason. References to amounts and the Illustrative Capex Guidance (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. Actual circumstances could differ materially from the assumptions, and actual performance and results could differ materially from, and there can be no assurance that they will reflect, our corporate guidance. "Online", "Operational", "Operating", "Completion", "Completed", "COD" or "commercial operation date", "Deployment" or similar statuses (either capitalized or lower case) with respect to a particular project means we expect gas to be made available in the near future, gas has been made available to the relevant project, or that the relevant project is in full commercial operations. Where gas is going to be made available or has been made available but full commercial operations have not yet begun, full commercial operations will occur later than, and may occur substantially later than, our reported Operational, Completion or Deployment date, and we may not generate any revenue until full commercial operations have begun. We cannot assure you if or when such projects will reach full commercial operation. Our ability to export liquefied natural gas depends on our ability to obtain export and other permits from governmental and regulatory agencies. No assurance can be given that we will receive required permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies in connection with the exportation of liquefied natural gas on a timely basis or at all or that, once received, we will be able to maintain in full force and effect, renew or replace such permits, approvals and authorizations. Lead times and expected development times used in this Presentation indicate our internal evaluations of a project's expected timeline. They refer to us completing certain stages of projects within a timeframe and within a spectrum of budget parameters that, when taken as a whole, are substantially consistent with our business model. These timeframes include assumptions regarding items that are outside our control, including permitting, weather, supply of equipment and materials, and other potential sources of delay. To the extent that projects have not yet started or are currently under development, we can make no assurance that such projects are on track within the timeline parameters we establish. Additionally, the construction of facilities is inherently subject to the risks of cost overruns and delays. If we are unable to construct, commission, complete and operate any of our facilities as expected, or, when and if constructed, any of them do not accomplish our goals, estimates regarding timelines, budget and savings could be materially and adversely affected. "Free Cash Flow" or "FCF" is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, offers a useful supplemental view of the overall operation of our business in evaluating the effectiveness of our ongoing operating performance in a manner that is consistent with metrics used for management's evaluation of the Company's overall performance. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful performance measure for management, investors and other users of our financial information to evaluate our performance and to measure and estimate the ability of our assets to generate earnings after costs of interest, taxes and other costs to operate our business, which could be used for discretionary purposes such as continued development, common stock dividends or retirement of debt. Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, tax expense and other adjustments that are removed in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, including but not limited to, transaction and integration costs, contract termination charges and loss on mitigations sales, asset impairment expense, interest expense (net of interest income), other expense (income), net loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments and contingent consideration, and adjusting for certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance, such as non-cash share-based mpensation and severance expense, non-capitalizable development expenses, cost to pursue new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure, and the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of certain unconsolidated entities and excludes noncontrolling interest and our pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from certain unconsolidated entities. Free Cash Flow is mathematically equivalent to net income attributable to stockholders plus depreciation and amortization each as reported in our financial statements. The principal limitation of Free Cash Flow is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to our GAAP net income, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Free Cash Flow does not have a standardized meaning, and different companies may use different Free Cash Flow definitions. Therefore, Free Cash Flow may not be necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 40
