NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We are developing and constructingoperate a natural gas liquefaction and export facility atlocated near Corpus Christi, Texas (the “Corpus Christi LNG Terminal”) through CCL, which has 3 operational Trains for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG, 3 LNG storage tanks and 2 marine berths. Additionally, we are constructing an expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG terminalTerminal (the “Liquefaction Facility”“Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project”), which is on nearly 2,000 acres for up to 7 midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of land that we own or control nearover 10 mtpa of LNG.

CCL Stage III, CCL and CCP received approval from FERC in November 2019 to site, construct and operate the Corpus Christi Texas,Stage 3 Project. In March 2022, CCL Stage III issued limited notice to proceed to Bechtel Energy Inc. (“Bechtel”) to commence early engineering, procurement and site works. In June 2022, Cheniere’s board of directors made a 23-milepositive FID with respect to the investment in the construction and operation of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project and issued a full notice to proceed with construction to Bechtel effective June 16, 2022. In connection with the positive FID, CCL Stage III, through which Cheniere was developing and constructing the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, was contributed to us from Cheniere (the “Contribution”) on June 15, 2022. Immediately following the Contribution, CCL Stage III was merged with and into CCL (the “Merger”), the surviving entity of the merger and our wholly owned subsidiary. Refer to Note 2—CCL Stage III Contribution and Merger for additional information on the Contribution and Merger of CCL Stage III.

Through our subsidiary CCP, we also own a 21.5-mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal with several interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the Liquefaction Facility,existing operational Trains, midscale trains, storage tanks and marine berths, the “Liquefaction Project”) through wholly owned subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively. The.

We have increased available liquefaction capacity at our Liquefaction Project is being developed in stages. The first stage (“Stage 1”) includes Trains 1as a result of debottlenecking and 2, two LNG storage tanks, one complete marine berth andother optimization projects. We hold a second partial berth and all of the Liquefaction Project’s necessary infrastructure facilities. The second stage includes Train 3, one LNG storage tank and the completion of the second partial berth. Stage 1 andsignificant land position at the Corpus Christi Pipeline are currently under construction,LNG Terminal which provides opportunity for further liquefaction capacity expansion. The development of this site or other projects, including infrastructure projects in support of natural gas supply and Train 3 is being commercializedLNG demand, will require, among other things, acceptable commercial and has all necessary regulatory approvals in place.financing arrangements before we make a positive FID.

In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation.  The reclassifications had no effect on our overall consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2017.2022.


We are a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Our taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or loss reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere.

Recent Accounting Standards

ASU 2020-04

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance primarily provides temporary optional expedients which simplify the accounting for contract modifications to existing contracts expected to arise from the market transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. The transition period under this standard is effective March 12, 2020 and deferred income tax balanceswill apply through December 31, 2022.

We had interest rate swaps and various credit facilities indexed to LIBOR, as further described in Note 7—Derivative Instruments and Note 9—Debt, respectively. In June 2022, we amended our credit facilities to bear interest at a variable rate per annum based on SOFR as a result of the expected LIBOR transition. Since adoption of the standard, we elected to apply the optional expedients as applicable to certain modified facilities, however the impact of applying the optional expedients was not material, and the transition to SOFR or other replacement rate indexes does not have been recorded as if we had filed all tax returnsa material impact on a separate return basis (“hypothetical carve-out basis”) from Cheniere.our cash flows.


NOTE 2—CCL STAGE III CONTRIBUTION AND MERGER

As described in Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation, the Contribution of the CCL Stage III legal entity to us from Cheniere occurred on the June 15, 2022, which was immediately followed by the Merger, in which CCL Stage III was merged with and into CCL, with CCL continuing as the surviving company.

The Contribution was accounted for as a common control transaction as the assets and liabilities were transferred between entities under Cheniere’s control. As a result, the net liability transfer was recognized as a distribution in our Statement of Member’s Equity (Deficit) and at the historical basis of Cheniere on June 15, 2022 in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Contribution has been presented prospectively as we have concluded that the Contribution did not represent a change in our reporting entity, primarily as we concluded that CCL Stage III did not constitute a business under FASB topic Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. The Merger had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as it occurred between our consolidated subsidiaries.

The net liabilities of CCL Stage III contributed to us and recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheets on June 15, 2022 consisted of the following (in millions):

We value our Interest Rate Derivatives using valuations based on the initial trade prices. Using an income-based approach subsequent valuations are based onutilizing observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rate curves, risk adjusted discount rates, credit spreads and other relevant data. We value our Liquefaction Supply Derivatives using a market or option-based approach incorporating present value techniques, as needed, using observable commodity price curves, when available, and other relevant data.


In May 2017, we settledThe fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is predominantly driven by observable and unobservable market commodity prices and, as applicable to our natural gas supply contracts, our assessment of the associated events deriving fair value, including, but not limited to, evaluation of whether the respective market exists from the perspective of market participants as infrastructure is developed.

We include a portion of our Interest RatePhysical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy as the fair value is developed through the use of internal models which incorporate significant unobservable inputs. In instances where observable data is unavailable, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks, such as future prices of energy units for unobservable periods, liquidity and recognized a derivative loss of $13.0 million in conjunction with the termination of approximately $1.4 billion of commitments under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 6—Debt.volatility.

Liquefaction Supply Derivatives

CCL entered into thePhysical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is predominantly drivencould be materially impacted by market commodity basis prices and our assessment of the associated conditions precedent, including evaluating whether the respective market is available as pipeline infrastructure is developed. Upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent, including completion and placement into service of relevant pipeline infrastructure to accommodate marketable physical gas flow, we recognize a gain or loss based on the fair value of the respectivesignificant change in certain natural gas supply contracts as of the reporting date.

The fair value of substantially all of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is developed through the use of internal models which are impacted by inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace. As a result, the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. The curves used to generate the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives are based on basis adjustments applied to forward curves for a liquid trading point. In addition, there may be observable liquid market basis information in the near term, but terms of a Liquefaction Supply Derivatives contract may exceed the period for which such information is available, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In these instances, the fair value of the contract incorporates extrapolation assumptions made in the determination of the market basis price for future delivery periods in which applicable commodity basis prices were either not observable or lacked corroborative market data. Internal fair value models include conditions precedent to the respective long-term natural gas supply contracts. As of September 30, 2017, some of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives existed within markets for which the pipeline infrastructure is under development to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. The forward notional natural gas buy position of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives was approximately 362 TBtu as of September 30, 2017.

The estimated fair value of our credit facilities approximates the principal amount outstanding because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates and the debt may be repaid, in full or in part, at any time without penalty.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

Because many of our sales contracts have long-term durations, we are contractually entitled to significant future consideration which we have not yet recognized as revenue. The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied:
June 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Unsatisfied Transaction Price (in billions)Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1)Unsatisfied Transaction Price (in billions)Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1)
LNG revenues$49.2 11$31.7 9
LNG revenues—affiliate1.3 81.1 10
Total revenues$50.5 $32.8 
(1)The weighted average recognition timing represents an estimate of the number of years during which we shall have recognized half of the unsatisfied transaction price.

We have elected the following exemptions which omit certain potential future sources of revenue from the table above:
(1)We omit from the table above all performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
(2)The table above excludes substantially all variable consideration under our SPAs. We omit from the table above all variable consideration that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation when that performance obligation qualifies as a series. The amount of revenue from variable fees that is not included in the transaction price will vary based on the future prices of Henry Hub throughout the contract terms, to the extent customers elect to take delivery of their LNG, and adjustments to the consumer price index. Certain of our contracts contain additional variable consideration based on the outcome of contingent events and the movement of various indexes. We have not included such variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent the consideration is considered constrained due to the uncertainty of ultimate pricing and receipt. Approximately 72% and 49% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately 68% and 48% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were related to variable consideration received from customers. None of our LNG revenues—affiliates from the contract included in the table above were related to variable consideration received from customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

We may enter into contracts to sell LNG that are conditioned upon one or both of the parties achieving certain milestones such as reaching FID on a certain liquefaction Train, obtaining financing or achieving substantial completion of a Train and any related facilities. These contracts are considered completed contracts for revenue recognition purposes and are included in the transaction price above when the conditions are considered probable of being met.

NOTE 9—RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The following table provides a brief descriptionWe recorded $1.5 billion of recent accounting standards that had not been adopted bycontribution in our Statement of Member’s Equity (Deficit) during the Company as of Septemberquarter ended June 30, 2017:
StandardDescriptionExpected Date of AdoptionEffect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and subsequent amendments thereto

This standard provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model which replaces and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity2022 related to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires that the costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers should be recognized as assets and amortized to match the pattern of transfer of goods or services to the customer if expected to be recoverable. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures. This guidance may be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented subject to allowable practical expedients (“full retrospective approach”) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (“modified retrospective approach”).January 1, 2018We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We plan to adopt this standard using the full retrospective approach. Preliminarily, we do not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact upon our revenues. Furthermore, we routinely enter into new contracts and we cannot predict with certainty whether the accounting for any future contract under the new standard would result in a significant change from existing guidance. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for revenue recognition is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
This standard requires a lessee to recognize leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the obligation to make future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee is permitted to make an election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The standard also modifies the definition of a lease and requires expanded disclosures. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with certain available practical expedients.
January 1, 2019

We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we expect that the requirement to recognize all leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheets will be a significant change from current practice but will not have a material impact upon our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for leases is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this standard upon our results of operations or cash flows, whether we will elect to early adopt this standard or which, if any, practical expedients we will elect upon transition.
ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
This standard requires the immediate recognition of the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This guidance may be early adopted, but only at the beginning of an annual period, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.
January 1, 2018

We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 


Overview of Business


We wereare a Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2014 by Cheniere. We provide clean, secure and affordable LNG to develop, construct,integrated energy companies, utilities and energy trading companies around the world. We aspire to conduct our business in a safe and responsible manner, delivering a reliable, competitive and integrated source of LNG to our customers.

LNG is natural gas (methane) in liquid form. The LNG we produce is shipped all over the world, turned back into natural gas (called “regasification”) and then transported via pipeline to homes and businesses and used as an energy source that is essential for heating, cooking and other industrial uses. Natural gas is a cleaner-burning, abundant and affordable source of energy. When LNG is converted back to natural gas, it can be used instead of coal, which reduces the amount of pollution traditionally produced from burning fossil fuels, like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter that enters the air we breathe. Additionally, compared to coal, it produces significantly fewer carbon emissions. By liquefying natural gas, we are able to reduce its volume by 600 times so that we can load it onto special LNG carriers designed to keep the LNG cold and in liquid form for efficient transport overseas.

We own and operate maintain and own a natural gas liquefaction and export facility (the “Liquefaction Facility”) and a pipeline facility (collectively, the “Liquefaction Project”) on nearly 2,000 acres of land that we own or controllocated near Corpus Christi, Texas (the “Corpus Christi LNG Terminal”) through wholly-owned subsidiaries CCL, and CCP, respectively.

The Liquefaction Project is being developedwhich has natural gas liquefaction facilities consisting of three operational Trains for up to three Trains, with expected aggregate nominala total production capacity which is prior to adjusting for planned maintenance, production reliability and potential overdesign, of approximately 13.515 mtpa of LNG, three LNG storage tanks with aggregate capacity of approximately 10.1 Bcfe and two marine berths that can each accommodate vessels with nominal capacityberths. Additionally, we are constructing an expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal (the “Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project”) for up to 266,000 cubic meters. The Liquefactionseven midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity over 10 mtpa of LNG. Refer to Note 2—CCL Stage III Contribution and Merger for additional information on the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project.

CCL Stage III, CCL and CCP received approval from FERC in November 2019 to site, construct and operate the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project. In March 2022, CCL Stage III issued limited notice to proceed to Bechtel Energy Inc. (“Bechtel”) to commence early engineering, procurement and site works. In June 2022, Cheniere’s board of directors (the “Board”) made a positive FID with respect to the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project is being developed in stages. The first stage (“and issued a full notice to proceed with construction to Bechtel effective June 16, 2022. In connection with the positive FID, CCL Stage 1”III, through which Cheniere was developing and constructing the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, was contributed to us from Cheniere (the “Contribution”) includes Trains 1on June 15, 2022. Immediately following the Contribution, CCL Stage III was merged with and 2, two LNG storage tanks, one complete marine berthinto CCL (the “Merger”), the surviving entity of
24

the merger and our wholly owned subsidiary. Refer to Note 2—CCL Stage III Contribution and Merger for additional information on the Contribution and Merger of CCL Stage III.

We also own and operate through CCP a second partial berth and all of the Liquefaction Project’s necessary infrastructure facilities. The second stage (“Stage 2”) includes Train 3, one LNG storage tank and the completion of the second partial berth. The Liquefaction Project also includes a 23-mile21.5-mile natural gas supply pipeline that will interconnectinterconnects the Corpus Christi LNG terminalTerminal with several interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the existing operational Trains, midscale trains, storage tanks and marine berths, the “Liquefaction Project”). Stage 1

Our customer arrangements provide us with significant, stable and long-term cash flows. We contract our anticipated production capacity under SPAs, in which our customers are generally required to pay a fixed fee with respect to the Corpus Christi Pipeline are currentlycontracted volumes irrespective of their election to cancel or suspend deliveries of LNG cargoes, and under construction,IPM agreements, in which the gas producer sells to us gas on a global LNG index price, less a fixed liquefaction fee, shipping and Train 3 is being commercializedother costs. Our long-term customer arrangements form the foundation of our business and has all necessary regulatory approvals in place.

Overview of Significant Events

Ourprovide us with significant, accomplishments since January 1, 2017 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q include our issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion of 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “2027 CCH Senior Notes”). Net proceedsstable, long-term cash flows. We have contracted approximately 85% of the offering of approximately $1.4 billion, after deducting commissions, fees and expenses and provisioning for incremental interest required under the 2027 CCH Senior Notes during construction, were used to prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our credit facility (the “2015 CCH Credit Facility”).

Liquefaction Facilities

Liquefaction Facilities

The Liquefaction Project is being developed and constructed at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal, on nearly 2,000 acres of land that we own or control near Corpus Christi, Texas. In December 2014, we received authorizationtotal anticipated production capacity from the FERC to site, construct and operate Stages 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project. The following table summarizes the overall project status of Stage 1 of the Liquefaction Project with approximately 18 years of weighted average remaining life as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017:

The2022. In March 2022, the DOE has authorized the export of an additional 108.16 Bcf/yr of domestically produced LNG by vessel from the Corpus Christi LNG terminal to FTA countries for a 25-year term andTerminal through December 31, 2050 to non-FTA countries, that were previously authorized for a 20-year term up to a combined totalFTA countries only. For further discussion of the equivalentcontracted future cash flows under our revenue arrangements, see the liquidity and capital resources disclosures in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

We remain focused on operational excellence and customer satisfaction. Increasing demand for LNG has allowed us to expand our liquefaction infrastructure in a financially disciplined manner. We have increased available liquefaction capacity at our Liquefaction Project as a result of 767 Bcf/yr (approximately 15 mtpa)debottlenecking and other optimization projects. We hold a significant land position at the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal, which provides opportunity for further liquefaction capacity expansion. The development of these sites or other projects, including infrastructure projects in support of natural gas. A partygas supply and LNG demand, will require, among other things, acceptable commercial and financing arrangements before we make a positive FID.

Additionally, we are committed to the proceeding requestedresponsible and proactive management of our most important environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) impacts, risks and opportunities. In June 2022, Cheniere published its 2021 Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) report, which details our approach and progress on ESG issues, including Cheniere’s recently announced collaboration with natural gas midstream companies, methane detection technology providers and leading academic institutions to implement quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions at natural gas gathering, processing, transmission and storage systems specific to our supply chain, as well as our contributions to energy security during a rehearingcritical time in history. Additionally, Cheniere commenced providing Cargo Emissions Tags (“CE Tags”) to its customers in June 2022.

Overview of Significant Events

Our significant events since January 1, 2022 and through the authorization to non-FTA countries, which was denied byfiling date of this Form 10-Q include the DOE in May 2016. following:
Strategic

In July 2016, the same party petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”) to review the authorization to non-FTA countries and the DOE order denying the request for rehearing of the same. The Court of Appeals denied the petition in November 2017, and the time for review of the court’s denial has not yet expired. The terms of each of these authorizations begin on the earlier of the date of first export thereunder or the date specified in the particular order, which ranges from 7 to 10 years from the date the order was issued.

Customers

2022, CCL has entered into seven fixed price, 20-year SPAs with extension rights with six third parties to make available an aggregate amount ofa long-term LNG that equates to approximately 7.7 mtpa of LNG, which is approximately 86% of the expected aggregate nominal production capacity of Trains 1 and 2. The obligation to make LNG available under these SPAs commences from the date of first commercial delivery for Trains 1 and 2, as specified in each SPA. In addition, CCL has entered into one fixed price, 20-year SPA with a third party for another 0.8PTT Global LNG Company Limited (“PTTGL”), under which PTTGL has agreed to purchase 1.0 mtpa of LNG that commences with the date of first commercial delivery for Train 3. Under these eight SPAs, the customers will purchase LNG from CCL for twenty years beginning in 2026. The SPA calls for a combination of FOB and DES deliveries. The purchase price consisting offor LNG under the SPA is indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed fee of $3.50 per MMBtuliquefaction fee.
In March 2022, CCL amended its existing long-term SPA with Engie SA (“Engie”), increasing the volume Engie has agreed to purchase from CCL to approximately 0.9 mtpa of LNG (a portion of which is subject to annual adjustment for inflation) pluson a variable fee equal to 115% of Henry Hub per MMBtu of LNG. In certain circumstances, the customers may elect to cancel or suspend deliveries of LNG cargoes, in which case the customers would still be required to pay the fixed fee with respect to the contracted volumes that are not delivered as a result of such cancellation or suspension. The SPAsFOB basis, and contracted volumes to be made available under the SPAs are not tied to a specific Train; however,extending the term to approximately 20 years, which began in September 2021.

In aggregate, the fixed fee portion to be paid by the third-party SPA customers is approximately $1.4 billion annually for Trains 1 and 2, and $1.5 billion if we makeOn June 15, 2022, Cheniere’s Board made a positive FID with respect to the Corpus Christi Stage 23 Project and issued a full notice to proceed with construction to Bechtel under the EPC contract to commence construction of the LiquefactionCorpus Christi Stage 3 Project effective June 16, 2022. In connection with the applicable fixed fees starting frompositive FID, CCL Stage III was contributed to us as and subsequently merged with and into CCL, with CCL the datesurviving company of firstthe merger and our wholly owned subsidiary. Notable contracts received by CCL in connection with the merger included the following:
IPM agreements held by CCL Stage III with ARC Resources U.S. Corp, EOG Resources, Inc. and Apache Corporation, with terms of approximately 15 years, aggregating approximately 65 million tonnes, approximately 40 million tonnes of which commences with commercial delivery fromoperations of certain Trains of the applicable Train. These fixed fees equal approximately $550 million, $846 million and $140 million for each of Trains 1 throughCorpus Christi Stage 3 respectively.Project (the “Transferred IPM Agreements”);

In addition, CCL has entered into two fixed price 20-year SPAs withheld by Cheniere Marketing International LLP (“Cheniere Marketing UK”Marketing”). Under or its subsidiaries with Foran Energy Group, Ltd, CPC Corporation, Sinochem Group Co. Ltd. and Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe I Gazownictwo S.A. (“PGNiG”), for which CCL entered into a newly executed agreement between CCL and PGNiG taking the first SPA (the “Amendedplace of a portion of the term of the existing agreement between PGNiG and Cheniere Marketing, Foundation SPA”),aggregating approximately 105 million tonnes of LNG to be delivered through 2046; and
the aforementioned EPC contract with Bechtel for the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project for a contract price of approximately $5.5 billion, subject to adjustment only by change order.
In June 2022, CCL and Cheniere Marketing, UK will purchasea wholly owned subsidiary of Cheniere, entered into an SPA for approximately 44 TBtu per annum of LNG fromassociated with the IPM agreement between CCL and ARC Resources U.S. Corp referenced above for a term of 15 years.

Operational

As of July 30, 2022, approximately 550 cumulative LNG cargoes totaling over 35 million tonnes of LNG have been produced, loaded and exported from the Liquefaction Project.

Financial

In June 2022, CCH amended and restated its term loan credit facility (the “CCH Credit Facility”) and its working capital facility (the “CCH Working Capital Facility”) to, among other things, (1) increase the commitments to approximately $4.0 billion and $1.5 billion for the CCH Credit Facility and the CCH Working Capital Facility, respectively, which are intended to fund a portion of the cost of developing, constructing and operating the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, (2) extend the maturity of the CCH Credit Facility to the earlier of June 15, 2029 or two years after the substantial completion of the last Train of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project and extend the maturity of the CCH Working Capital Facility to June 15, 2027, (3) update the indexed interest rate to SOFR and (4) make certain other changes to the terms and conditions of each existing facility.

Results of Operations

The following charts summarize the total revenues and total LNG volumes loaded (including both operational and commissioning volumes) during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Net income (loss)

Our consolidated net loss was $527 million and $1.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net loss of $71 million and net income of $260 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Substantially all of the decrease of $456 million and $1.5 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, was due to an increase in commodity derivatives losses from unfavorable changes in fair value and settlements of $586 million and $1.6 billion between the periods, respectively, as further described below. Included in the derivative loss incurred during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was a loss incurred of $474 million associated with, and following the Contribution of, the Transferred IPM Agreements on June 15, 2022, primarily attributed to CCL’s lower credit risk profile relative to that of CCL Stage III, resulting in a higher derivative liability given reduced risk of CCL’s own nonperformance.

Substantially all derivative losses relate to the use of commodity derivative instruments indexed to international LNG prices, primarily related to our IPM agreements. While operationally we utilize commodity derivatives to mitigate price consistingvolatility for commodities procured or sold over a period of time, as a result of significant appreciation in forward international LNG commodity curves during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized approximately $948 million and $1.7 billion, respectively, of non-cash unfavorable changes in fair value attributed to positions indexed to such prices, including the $474 million loss on the Transferred IPM Agreements in connection with the Contribution as described above.

Derivative instruments, which in addition to managing exposure to commodity-related marketing and price risks are utilized to manage exposure to changing interest rates volatility, are reported at fair value on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In some cases, the underlying LNG sales being economically hedged are accounted for under the accrual method of accounting, whereby revenues expected to be derived from the future LNG sales are recognized only upon delivery or realization of the underlying transaction. Because the recognition of derivative instruments at fair value has the effect of recognizing gains or losses relating to future period exposure, and given the significant volumes, long-term duration and volatility in price basis for certain of our derivative contracts, use of derivative instruments may result in continued volatility of our results of operations based on changes in market pricing, counterparty credit risk and other relevant factors, notwithstanding the operational intent to mitigate risk exposure over time.

27

As described in Overview of Significant Events, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into IPM agreements with various counterparties for approximately 105 million tonnes of LNG. We expect our net income or loss in the future to be impacted by the revenues and associated expenses related to the commencement of these agreements.

We expect our net income or loss in the future will be subject to a greater degree of volatility as a result of the Transferred IPM Agreements, which as described in Overview of Significant Events, totaled approximately 65 mtpa, with terms of approximately 15 years commencing with commercial operations of certain Trains of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project.

Total revenues increased by approximately $1.2 billion and $2.3 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the comparable periods in 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of increased revenues per MMBtu due to appreciation in the Henry Hub index. Additionally, there were higher volumes of LNG delivered six months ended June 30, 2022 from the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the additional production capacity of approximately 5 mtpa from Train 3 of the Liquefaction Project, which achieved substantial completion on March 26, 2021 (the “Train 3 Completion”).

At Cheniere Marketing UK’s option, which has not been exercised yet, the Amended Cheniere Marketing Foundation SPA commences upon the date of first commercial

delivery for Train 2 and includes an annual contract quantity of 40 TBtu of LNG. The second SPA (the “Cheniere Marketing Base SPA”) allows Cheniere Marketing UK to purchase, at its option, (1) up to a cumulative total of 15028 TBtu of LNG withinthat were related to the sale of commissioning periodscargoes. We did not record any offsets to LNG terminal costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Also included in LNG revenues are sales of certain unutilized natural gas procured for Trains 1the liquefaction process and gains and losses from certain commodity derivative instruments, which include the realized value associated with a portion of derivative instruments that settle through 3, (2) any LNG produced fromphysical delivery. We recognized revenues of $89 million and $31 million during the endthree months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $105 million and $90 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to these transactions.

Total operating costs and expenses increased $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion during the commissioning periodthree and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of increased cost of sales. Cost of sales includes costs incurred directly for Train 1 until the date of first commercialproduction and delivery of LNG from Train 1 and (3) any excess LNG produced by the Liquefaction Facility that isProject, to the extent those costs are not committedutilized for the commissioning process. Substantially all of the increase in both comparable periods was attributed to customers under third-party SPAs or to Cheniere Marketing UK underthird party cost of sales, which increased by $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion during the Amended Cheniere Marketing Foundation SPA,three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the comparable 2021 periods, respectively, primarily as determined by CCL in each contract year, in each case for a price consistingresult of a fixed feeincreased pricing of $3.00 per MMBtu of LNG plus a variable fee equal to 115% of Henry Hub per MMBtu of LNG. Under the Cheniere Marketing Base SPA, Cheniere Marketing UK may, without charge, elect to suspend deliveries of cargoes (other than commissioning cargoes) scheduled for any month under the applicable annual delivery program by providing specified notice in advance.
Natural Gas Transportation, Storage and Supply

To ensure CCL is able to transport adequate natural gas feedstock to the Corpus Christi LNG terminal, it has entered into transportation precedent agreements to secure firm pipeline transportation capacity with CCP and certain third-party pipeline companies. CCL has entered intoas a firm storage services agreement with a third party to assist in managing volatility inresult of higher U.S. natural gas needs for the Liquefaction Project. CCL has also entered into enabling agreementsprices and long-term natural gas supply contracts with third parties,increased volume of LNG delivered and will continue to enter into such agreements,unfavorable changes in orderour commodity derivatives to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project. We expect to enter into gas supply contracts under these enabling agreementsProject, as discussed in Net income (loss) above.

Operating and when required formaintenance expense (including affiliate and related party) primarily includes costs associated with operating and maintaining the Liquefaction Project. As of SeptemberOperating and maintenance expense (including affiliates) also includes third party service and maintenance, insurance, regulatory costs and other operating costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, CCL has secured up2022, operating and maintenance expense increased from the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to approximately 362 TBtu ofincreased natural gas feedstock through long-term natural gas supply contracts.

The total contract price of the EPC contract for Stage 1, which does not include the Corpus Christi Pipeline, is approximately $7.8 billion, reflecting amounts incurred under change orders through Septembersix months ended June 30, 2017. Total expected capital costs for Stage 1 and the Corpus Christi Pipeline are estimated to be between $9.0 billion and $10.0 billion before financing costs, and between $11.0 billion and $12.0 billion after financing costs including, in each case, estimated owner’s costs and contingencies and total expected capital costs for the Corpus Christi Pipeline of between $350 million and $400 million.

Pipeline Facilities

In December 2014, the FERC issued a certificate of public convenience and necessity under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended, authorizing CCP to construct and operate the Corpus Christi Pipeline. The Corpus Christi Pipeline is designed to transport 2.25 Bcf/d of natural gas feedstock required by the Liquefaction Project2022 from the existing regional natural gas pipeline grid.

2015 CCH Credit Facility

In May 2015, we entered into the 2015 CCH Credit Facility. Our obligationslimited under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility are secured byU.S. Bankruptcy Code or federal or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law. Each guarantee contains a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries and by a pledge by CCH HoldCo I of its limited liability company interests in us. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $2.4 billion and $3.6 billion of available commitments and $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion of outstanding borrowings under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, respectively.


The principal of the loans made under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility must be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing on the earlier of (1) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following project completion and (2) a set date determined by reference to the date under which a certain LNG buyer linked to Train 2 of the Liquefaction Project is entitled to terminate its SPA for failure to achieve the date of first commercial delivery for that agreement. Scheduled repayments will be based upon a 19-year tailored amortization, commencing the first full quarter after the project completion and designed to achieve a minimum projected fixed debt service coverage ratio of 1.55:1.

Under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, we are required to hedge not less than 65% of the variable interest rate exposure of our senior secured debt. We are restricted from making distributions under agreements governing our indebtedness generally until, among other requirements, the completion of the construction of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project, funding of a debt service reserve account equal to six months of debt service and achieving a historical debt service coverage ratio and fixed projected debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00.

Equity Contribution Agreement

In May 2015, we entered into an equity contribution agreement with Cheniere (the “Equity Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which Cheniere agreed to provide tiered equity contributions of approximately $2.6 billion for Stage 1 and the Corpus Christi Pipeline. The first tier of equity funding of approximately $1.5 billion (the “First Tier Equity Funding”) was contributed to us concurrently with the closing of the 2015 CCH Credit Facility. The second tier of equity funding, up to a maximum amount of approximately $1.1 billion, will be contributed concurrently and pro rata with funding under our project financing debt starting on the date on which further disbursements of such debt would result in a senior debt to equity ratio of greater than 75/25 (the “Second Tier Pro Rata Equity Funding”). As of September 30, 2017, we have received $1.8 billion in contributions under the Equity Contribution Agreement, of which approximately $1.5 billion was the First Tier Equity Funding and approximately $0.3 billion was part of the Second Tier Pro Rata Equity Funding. On March 2, 2017, Cheniere entered into a $750 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “CEI Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the CEI Revolving Credit Facility are available to Cheniere to back-stop its obligations under the Equity Contribution Agreement to provide the Second Tier Pro Rata Equity Funding to us and for general corporate purposes.

Operating Cash Flows


Operating cash outflowsflows during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021 were $51.6$742 million and $28.8$733 million, respectively. The$9 million increase in operating cash outflows in 2017 compared to 2016between the periods was primarily related to increased cash used as working capital as a result of payment timing differences and timing of cash receipts from the sale of LNG cargoes. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in operating cash inflows due to higher costs associated with the sale of certain unutilized natural gas procured for settlement of derivative instruments.the liquefaction process during the six months ended June 30, 2022.


Investing Cash Flows
