CHENIERE CORPUS CHRISTI HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)




NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  
We are operating and constructing a natural gas liquefaction and export facility (the “Liquefaction Facilities”) and operating a 23-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 Facilities, the “Liquefaction Project”) near Corpus Christi, Texas, through our subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively. We are currently operating 2 Trains and are constructing 1 additional Train is undergoing commissioning for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG. The Liquefaction Project, once fully constructed, will contain 3 LNG storage tanks and 2 marine berths.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of CCH have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. 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 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2020.

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. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 debt agreements expected to arise from the market transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. The optional expedients were available to be used upon issuance of this guidance but we have not yet applied the guidance because we have not yet modified any of our existing contracts for reference rate reform. Once we apply an optional expedient to a modified contract and adopt this standard, the guidance will be applied to all subsequent applicable contract modifications until December 31, 2022, at which time the optional expedients are no longer available.

NOTE 2—RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually or legally restricted as to usage or withdrawal and have been presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $94$101 million and $80 million of current restricted cash, respectively.

Pursuant to the accounts agreement entered into with the collateral trustee for the benefit of our debt holders, we are required to deposit all cash received into reserve accounts controlled by the collateral trustee.  The usage or withdrawal of such cash is restricted to the payment of liabilities related to the Liquefaction Project and other restricted payments.

We realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $74$8 million and $82 million during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively, that were related to the sale of commissioning cargoes because these amounts were earned or loaded prior to the start of commercial operations of the Liquefaction Project, during the testing phase for its construction. We did 0t realize any offsets to LNG terminal costs during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
We have entered into the following derivative instruments that are reported at fair value:
interest rate swaps (“CCH Interest Rate Derivatives”) to hedge the exposure to volatility in a portion of the floating-rate interest payments on our amended and restated credit facility (the “CCH Credit Facility”) and to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact anticipated future issuance of debt which is anticipated by the end of 2020 (“CCH Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives” and, collectively with the CCH Interest Rate Derivatives, the “Interest Rate Derivatives”) and

CHENIERE CORPUS CHRISTI HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—CONTINUED
(unaudited)

commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas supply contracts for the commissioning and operation of the Liquefaction Project (“Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”) and associated economic hedges (collectively, the “Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”).

We recognize our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. None of our derivative instruments are designated as cash flow or fair value hedging instruments, and changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statements of Operations to the extent not utilized for the commissioning process.

The following table shows the fair value of our derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which are classified as derivative assets, derivative assets—related party, non-current derivative assets, non-current derivative assets—related party, derivative liabilities or non-current derivative liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

We value our Interest Rate Derivatives using an income-based approach utilizing 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-based approach incorporating present value techniques, as needed, using observable commodity price curves, when available, and other relevant data.
 
The 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 evaluating whether the respective market is available as pipeline infrastructure is developed. The fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives incorporates risk premiums related to the satisfaction of conditions precedent, such as completion and placement into service of relevant pipeline infrastructure to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, some of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives existed within markets for which the pipeline infrastructure was under development to accommodate marketable physical gas flow.

We include a portion of our Physical 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, volatility and contract duration.

Derivative assets and liabilities arising from our derivative contracts with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis, as all counterparty derivative contracts provide for the unconditional right of set-off in the event of default. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments in instances when our derivative instruments are in an asset position. Additionally, counterparties are at risk that we will be unable to meet our commitments in instances where our derivative instruments are in a liability position. We incorporate both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, set-off rights and guarantees.

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 delivery 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 18% and 46% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately 24% and 46% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were related to variable consideration received from customers.

Overview of Business

We are operating and constructing a natural gas liquefaction and export facility (the “Liquefaction Facilities”) and operating a 23-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 Facilities, the “Liquefaction Project”) near Corpus Christi, Texas, through our subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively.

We are currently operating two Trains and are constructing one additional Train is undergoing commissioning for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG. The Liquefaction Project, once fully constructed, will contain three LNG storage tanks with aggregate capacity of approximately 10 Bcfe and two marine berths that can each accommodate vessels with nominal capacity of up to 266,000 cubic meters.

Overview of Significant Events

Our significant events since January 1, 2020 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q include the following:
Operational
As of April 27,July 31, 2020, 140more than 150 cumulative LNG cargoes totaling approximatelyover 10 million tonnes of LNG have been produced, loaded and exported from the Liquefaction Project.
Financial
In May 2020, the date of first commercial delivery was reached under the 20-year SPAs with PT Pertamina (Persero), Naturgy LNG GOM, Limited, Woodside Energy Trading Singapore Pte Ltd, Iberdrola, S.A. and Électricité de France, S.A. relating to Train 2 of the Liquefaction Project.
In August 2020, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded its rating of our senior secured debt from Ba1 (Positive Outlook) to Baa3.

Impact of COVID-19 and Market Environment

The business environment in which we operate has been impacted by the recent downturn in the energy market as well as the outbreak of COVID-19 and its progression into a pandemic in March 2020. As a result of these developments, our growth

estimates for LNG in 2020 have moderated from previous expectations. Annual LNG demand grew by approximately 13% in 2019 to approximately 360 mtpa. In a report published in the month of April 2020, IHS Markit projected LNG demand in 2020 to reach 363 mtpa, down from a pre-COVID-19 estimate of approximately 377 mtpa. This implies a year-over-year rate of growth of approximately 0.8%below 1% in 2020 compared to thean implied 4.7% pre-COVID-19 year-over-year growth estimate.estimate of approximately 5%. While worldwide demand increased by approximately 10%5% during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period of 2019, we expect to potentially see year-over-year declines in some future quartersmonths as reduced economic activity affects LNG demand and high storage inventory levels reduce the need for imports. The robust LNG supply additions over the past several years, along with warmer winters and now strict virus containment measures, have exerted downward pressure on global gas prices. As an example, the

Dutch Title Transfer Facility (“TTF”), a virtual trading point for natural gas in the Netherlands, averaged $3.35$1.76 during the quarterthree months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, 51%60% lower than the comparable period of 2019, while the Japan Korean Marker (“JKM”), an LNG benchmark price assessment for spot physical cargoes delivered ex-ship into certain key markets in Asia, averaged $4.82$2.68 during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, 43%50% lower than the comparable period of 2019. As a result of the weaker LNG market environment, as well as customer-specific variables, we have recently experienced an increase in the number of LNG cargoes for which our customers have notified us they will not take delivery. While this may impact our expected LNG production, we do not expect it to have a material adverse impact on our forecasted financial results for 2020, due to the highly contracted nature of our business and the fact that customers continue to be obligated to pay fixed fees for cargoes in relation to which they have exercised their contractual right to cancel. Revenue associated with canceled LNG cargoes is generally recognized upon notice of customer cancellation. DuringAs such, during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, we recognized revenue of approximately $37$299 million and $336 million, respectively, in revenues associated with canceled LNG cargoes.cargoes for which customers have notified us that they would not take delivery, of which $200 million would have otherwise been recognized subsequent to June 30, 2020, if the cargoes were lifted pursuant to the delivery schedules with the customers.

In addition, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cheniere has modified certain business and workforce practices to protect the safety and welfare of its employees who continue to work at its facilities and offices worldwide, as well as implemented certain mitigation efforts to ensure business continuity. In March 2020, Cheniere began consulting with a medical advisor, and implemented social distancing through revised shift schedules, work from home policies and designated remote work locations where appropriate, restricted non-essential business travel and began requiring self-screening for employees and contractors. In April 2020, Cheniere began utilizingproviding temporary on-site housing for its workforce atfor our facilities, implemented temperature testing, incorporated medical and social workers to support employees, enforced prior self-isolation and screening for on-sitetemporary housing and implemented marine operations with zero contact during loading activities. These measures have resulted in increased costs. While response measures continue to evolve and in certain cases moderate, we expect Cheniere to incur incremental operating costs which Cheniere expects to continueassociated with business continuity and protection of its workforce until the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic diminish. As of April 28,June 30, 2020, we have incurred approximately $13$26 million of such costs.

Corpus Christi LNG Terminal

Liquefaction Facilities

We are currently operating two Trains and one marine berth at the Liquefaction Project, and are constructingcommissioning one additional Train and constructing an additional marine berth. We have received authorization from the FERC to site, construct and operate Trains 1 through 3 of the Liquefaction Project. We completed construction of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project and commenced commercial operating activities in February 2019 and August 2019, respectively. The following table summarizes the project completion and construction status of Train 3 of the Liquefaction Project, including the related infrastructure, as of March 31,June 30, 2020:

The DOE has authorized the export of domestically produced LNG by vessel from the Corpus Christi LNG terminal to FTA countries for a 25-year term and to non-FTA countries for a 20-year term, both of which commenced in June 2019, up to a combined

total of the equivalent of 767 Bcf/yr (approximately 15 mtpa) of natural gas. The terms of each of these authorizations beganbegin on the earlier of the date of first export thereunder.thereunder or the date specified in the particular order, which ranges from seven to 10 years from the date the order was issued.
An application was filed in September 2019 to authorize additional exports from the Liquefaction Project to FTA countries for a 25-year term and to non-FTA countries for a 20-year term in an amount up to the equivalent of approximately 108 Bcf/yr of natural gas, for a total Liquefaction Project export of 875.16 Bcf/yr. The terms of the authorizations are requested to commence on the date of first commercial export from the Liquefaction Project of the volumes contemplated in the application. DOE’s authorization for FTA countries has been granted. The DOE application for non-FTA countries is currently pending before the DOE.
Customers

CCL has entered into fixed price long-term SPAs generally with terms of 20 years (plus extension rights) with nine third parties for Trains 1 through 3 of the Liquefaction Project to make available an aggregate amount of LNG that is approximately 70% of the total production capacity from these Trains.Project. Under these SPAs, the customers will purchase LNG from CCL on a FOB basis for a price consisting of a fixed fee per MMBtu of LNG (a portion of which is subject to annual adjustment for inflation) plus a variable fee per MMBtu of LNG equal to approximately 115% of Henry Hub. The customers may elect to cancel or suspend deliveries of LNG cargoes, with advance notice as governed by each respective SPA, 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. We refer to the fee component that is applicable regardless of a cancellation or suspension of LNG cargo deliveries under the SPAs as the fixed fee component of the price under our SPAs. We refer to the fee component that is applicable only in connection with LNG cargo deliveries as the variable fee component of the price under our SPAs.SPAs. The variable fee under CCL’s SPAs entered into in connection with the development of the Liquefaction Project was sized at the time of entry into each SPA with the intent to cover the costs of gas purchases and transportation and liquefaction fuel to produce the LNG to be sold under each such SPA. The SPAs and contracted volumes to be made available under the SPAs are not tied to a specific Train; however, the term of each SPA generally commences upon the date of first commercial delivery for the applicable Train, as specified in each SPA.

In aggregate, the minimum annual fixed fee portion to be paid by the third-party SPA customers is approximately $550 million for Train 1, increasing to approximately $1.4 billion upon the date of first commercial delivery for TrainTrains 1 and 2 and further increasing to approximately $1.8 billion following the substantial completion of Train 3 of the Liquefaction Project.

In addition, Cheniere Marketing International LLP (“Cheniere Marketing”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere, has agreements with CCL to purchase: (1) approximately 15 TBtu per annum of LNG with an approximate term of 23 years, (2) any LNG produced by CCL in excess of

that required for other customers at Cheniere Marketing’s option and (3) 0.85 mtpaapproximately 44 TBtu of LNG with a term of up to seven years associated with the IPMintegrated production marketing (“IPM”) gas supply agreement between CCL and EOG.
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 into a firm storage services agreement with a third party to assist in managing variability in natural gas needs for the Liquefaction Project. CCL has also entered into enabling agreements and long-term natural gas supply contracts with third parties, and will continue to enter into such agreements, in order to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, CCL had secured up to approximately 3,1822,935 TBtu of natural gas feedstock through long-term natural gas supply contracts with remaining terms that range up to 10 years, a portion of which is subject to the achievement of certain project milestones and other conditions precedent.

A portion of the natural gas feedstock transactions for CCL are IPM transactions, in which the natural gas producers are paid based on a global gas market price less a fixed liquefaction fee and certain costs incurred by us.

Construction

CCL entered into separate lump sum turnkey contracts with Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc. (“Bechtel”) for the engineering, procurement and construction of Trains 1 through 3 of the Liquefaction Project under which Bechtel charges a lump sum for all work performed and generally bears project cost, schedule and performance risks unless certain specified events occur, in which case Bechtel may cause CCL to enter into a change order, or CCL agrees with Bechtel to a change order.


The total contract price of the EPC contract for Train 3, which is currently under construction, is approximately $2.4 billion, reflecting amounts incurred under change orders through March 31,June 30, 2020. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, we have incurred $2.1$2.2 billion under this contract.
Capital Resources

We expect to finance the construction costs of the Liquefaction Project from one or more of the following: operating cash flows from CCL and CCP, project debt and equity contributions from Cheniere. The following table provides a summary of our capital resources from borrowings and available commitments for the Liquefaction Project, excluding any equity contributions, at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions):

CCH Senior Notes

The CCH Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our consolidated subsidiaries, CCL, CCP and CCP GP (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”). The indentures governing the CCH Senior Notes contain customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted

subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on membership interests or subordinated indebtedness or purchase, redeem or retire membership interests; sell or transfer assets, including membership or partnership interests of our restricted subsidiaries; restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries to us or any of our restricted subsidiaries; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of the properties or assets of us and our restricted subsidiaries taken as a whole; or permit any Guarantor to dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets. The covenants included in the respective indentures that govern the CCH Senior Notes are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.

The CCH Senior Notes are our senior secured obligations, ranking senior in right of payment to any and all of our future indebtedness that is subordinated to the CCH Senior Notes and equal in right of payment with our other existing and future indebtedness that is senior and secured by the same collateral securing the CCH Senior Notes. The CCH Senior Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of the CCH Guarantors.

At any time prior to six months before the respective dates of maturity for each of the CCH Senior Notes, we may redeem all or part of such series of the CCH Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the “make-whole” price set forth in the appropriate indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time within six months of the respective dates of maturity for each of the CCH Senior Notes, we may redeem all or part of such series of the CCH Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the CCH Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
The Guarantors’ guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain release provisions including (1) the sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the capital stock or the assets of the Guarantors, (2) the designation of the Guarantor as an “unrestricted subsidiary” in accordance with the indentures governing the CCH Senior Notes (the “CCH Indentures”), (3) upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or discharge of obligations under the CCH Indentures and (4) the release and discharge of the Guarantors pursuant to the Common Security and Account Agreement. In the event of a default in payment of the principal or interest by us, whether at maturity of the CCH Senior Notes or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted against the Guarantors to enforce the guarantee.

The rights of holders of the CCH Senior Notes against the Guarantors may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or federal or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law. Each guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance or transfer under U.S. federal or state law. However, there can be no assurance as to what standard a court will apply in making a determination of the maximum liability of the Guarantors. Moreover, this provision may not be effective to protect the guarantee from being voided under fraudulent conveyance laws. There is a possibility that the entire guarantee may be set aside, in which case the entire liability may be extinguished.

Summarized financial information about us and the Guarantors as a group (the “Obligor Group”) is omitted herein because such information would not be materially different from our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The CCH Senior Notes are our senior secured obligations, ranking senior in right of payment to any and all of our future indebtedness that is subordinated to the CCH Senior Notes and equal in right of payment with our other existing and future indebtedness that is senior and secured by the same collateral securing the CCH Senior Notes. The CCH Senior Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of the CCH Guarantors.

The security interests in our assets and the assets of the CCH Guarantors are subject to release provisions including (1) upon satisfaction and discharge of the CCH Indentures, (2) upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the applicable CCH Senior Notes or (3) upon payment in full in cash of the applicable CCH Senior Notes and all other related obligations that are outstanding, due and payable at the time the CCH Senior Notes are paid full in cash; and in accordance with the Common Security and Account Agreement governing the parties to the CCH Senior Notes.


CCH Credit Facility

In May 2018, we amended and restated the CCH Credit Facility to increase total commitments under the CCH Credit Facility from $4.6 billion to $6.1 billion. Our obligations under the CCH Credit Facility are secured by 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 both March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no available commitments and $3.3 billion of loans outstanding under the CCH Credit Facility.
 
The CCH Credit Facility matures on June 30, 2024, with principal payments due quarterly commencing on the earlier of (1) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following the completion of the Liquefaction Project as defined in the common terms agreement and (2) a set date determined by reference to the date under which a certain LNG buyer linked to the last Train of the Liquefaction Project to become operational 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 completion of Trains 1 through 3 and designed to achieve a minimum projected fixed debt service coverage ratio of 1.50:1.

Under the 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 certain distributions under agreements governing our indebtedness generally until, among other requirements, the completion of the construction of Trains 1 through 3 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.
CCH Working Capital Facility

In June 2018, we amended and restated the CCH Working Capital Facility to increase total commitments under the CCH Working Capital Facility from $350 million to $1.2 billion. The CCH Working Capital Facility is intended to be used for loans (“CCH Working Capital Loans”) and the issuance of letters of credit for certain working capital requirements related to developing and operating the Liquefaction Project and for related business purposes. Loans under the CCH Working Capital Facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors. We may, from time to time, request increases in the commitments under the CCH Working Capital Facility of up to the maximum allowed for working capital under the Common Terms Agreement that was entered into concurrently with the CCH Credit Facility. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $660$667 million and $729 million of available commitments, $399$392 million and $471 million aggregate amount of issued letters of credit and $141 million and zero of loans outstanding under the CCH Working Capital Facility, respectively.

The CCH Working Capital Facility matures on June 29, 2023, and we may prepay the CCH Working Capital Loans and loans made in connection with a draw upon any letter of credit (“CCH LC Loans”) at any time without premium or penalty upon three business days’ notice and may re-borrow at any time. CCH LC Loans have a term of up to one year. We are required to reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all CCH Working Capital Loans to zero for a period of five consecutive business days at least once each year.

The CCH Working Capital Facility contains conditions precedent for extensions of credit, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. Our obligations under the CCH Working Capital Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Guarantors as well as all of our membership interests and the membership interest in each of the Guarantors on a pari passu basis with the CCH Senior Notes and the CCH Credit Facility.

Equity Contribution Agreement

In May 2018, we amended and restated the existing equity contribution agreement with Cheniere (the “Equity Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which Cheniere agreed to provide cash contributions up to approximately $1.1 billion, not including $2.0 billion previously contributed under the original equity contribution agreement. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, we have received $558$703 million in contributions under the Equity Contribution Agreement and Cheniere has posted $365$313 million of letters of credit on our behalf under its revolving credit facility. Cheniere is only required to make additional contributions under the Equity Contribution Agreement after the commitments under the CCH Credit Facility have been reduced to zero and to the extent cash flows from operations of the Liquefaction Project are unavailable for Liquefaction Project costs.

Early Works Equity Contribution Agreement

In conjunction with the amendment and restatement of the Equity Contribution Agreement, we terminated the early works equity contribution agreement with Cheniere entered into in December 2017. Prior to termination in May 2018, we had received $250 million in contributions from Cheniere under the early works equity contribution agreement.


Restrictive Debt Covenants

As of March 31,June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our debt agreements.

LIBOR

The use of LIBOR is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. It is currently unclear whether LIBOR will be utilized beyond that date or whether it will be replaced by a particular rate. We intend to continue to work with our lenders to pursue any amendments to our debt agreements that are currently subject to LIBOR and will continue to monitor, assess and plan for the phase out of LIBOR.

Operating Cash Flows

Operating cash flows during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 were net inflows of $94$87 million and net outflows of $22$53 million, respectively. The increase in operating cash net inflows was primarily due to increased cash receipts from the sale of LNG cargoes, as a result of the commencement of operations of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project in February 2019 and August 2019, respectively.respectively, and from increased revenues related to LNG cargoes for which customers have notified us that they will not take delivery.

Investing Cash Flows

Investing cash net outflows during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $221$352 million and $372$842 million, respectively, and were primarily used to fund the construction costs for the Liquefaction Project. These costs are capitalized as construction-in-process until achievement of substantial completion.

Financing Cash Flows

Financing cash net inflows during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 were $141$286 million, primarily as a result of:
$141 million of borrowings under the CCH Working Capital Facility.Facility; and
$145 million of equity contributions from Cheniere.

Financing cash net inflows during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 were $323$885 million, primarily as a result of:
$491982 million of borrowings under the CCH Credit Facility; and
$201390 million of borrowings and $369$558 million of repayments under the CCH Working Capital Facility.Facility; and
$72 million of equity contributions from Cheniere.

Our consolidated net lossincome was $51$156 million in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, compared to net loss of $71$189 million in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. This $20$345 million decreaseincrease in net income in 2020 was primarily the result of accelerated revenues recognized from LNG cargoes for which customers have notified us that they will not take delivery and increased income from operations due to an additional Train in operation.

Our consolidated net income was $105 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net loss of $260 million in 2019the six months ended June 30, 2019. This $365 million increase in net income in 2020 was primarily the result of increased income from operations due to an additional Train in operation and accelerated revenues recognized from LNG cargoes for which wasthe customers have notified us that they will not take delivery, which were partially offset by increased interest rate derivative loss, net and interest expense, net of capitalized interest.


We enter into derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changing interest rates and commodity-related marketing and price risk. Derivative instruments are reported at fair value on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In some cases, the underlying transactions economically hedged receive accrual accounting treatment, whereby revenues and expenses are recognized only upon delivery, receipt 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, use of derivative instruments may increase the volatility of our results of operations based on changes in market pricing, counterparty credit risk and other relevant factors.

We beginbegan recognizing LNG revenues from the Liquefaction Project following the substantial completion and the commencement of operating activities of Trains 1 and 2 in February 2019 and August 2019, respectively. The achievement of substantial completion of these Trainsadditional Train in operation between the periods resulted in additional revenue from the increased volume of LNG sold. LNG revenues during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 also included $299 million and $336 million, respectively, in revenues associated with LNG cargoes for which customers have notified us that they will not take delivery, of which $200 million would have otherwise been recognized subsequent to June 30, 2020, if the cargoes were lifted pursuant to the delivery schedules with the customers. LNG revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2020 excluded $37 million inthat would have otherwise been recognized during the quarter if the cargoes were lifted pursuant to the delivery schedules with the customers. As we have recognized accelerated revenues attributable toassociated with LNG cargoes contractually canceled by our customers, for which revenue is generally recognized upon notice of customer cancellation. customers have notified us that they will not take delivery, we may expect decreased revenues in future periods for which the deliveries would have occurred.We expect our LNG revenues to increase in the future upon Train 3 of the Liquefaction Project becoming operational.

Also included in LNG revenues are gains and losses from derivative instruments, which include the realized value associated with a portion of derivative instruments that settle through physical delivery and the sale of unutilized natural gas procured for the liquefaction process. We recognized revenues of $44 million and $13$51 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $51 million and $64 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to derivative instruments and other revenues from these transactions.
 
Prior to substantial completion of a Train, amounts received from the sale of commissioning cargoes from that Train are offset against LNG terminal construction-in-process, because these amounts are earned or loaded during the testing phase for the construction of that Train. During the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, we realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $74$8 million corresponding to 153 TBtu of LNG that were related to the sale of commissioning cargoes. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $82 million corresponding to 18 TBtu of LNG that were related to the sale of commissioning cargoes. We did not realize any offsets to LNG terminal costs during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

Our total operating costs and expenses increased between the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily as a result of higher depreciation and amortization expense as a result of an additional Train in operation between the commencementperiods and costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as further described earlier in Impact of operationsCOVID-19 and Market Environment, partially offset by decreased costs of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project in February 2019 and August 2019, respectively.sales.

Cost of sales (including affiliate and related party) increaseddecreased between the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily due to decreased pricing of natural gas feedstock, which was partially offset by increased volume related to our LNG sales and a decrease in the fair value of commodity derivatives to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project due to an unfavorable shift in long-term forward prices relative to our hedge position between the periods. Cost of sales (including affiliate and related party) decreased between the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily related to an increase in fair value of commodity derivatives to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project due to relative shifts in long-term forward prices relative to our hedged position and decreased pricing of natural gas feedstock, partially offset by the increase in the volume of natural gas feedstock related to our LNG sales due to an additional Train in operation between the commencement of operations at the Liquefaction Project, partially offset by an increase in fair value of the derivatives associated with economic hedges to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Projects due to a favorable shift in long-term forward prices relative to our hedged position.periods. Cost of sales includes costs incurred directly for the production and delivery of LNG from the Liquefaction Project, to the extent those costs are not utilized for the commissioning process.

Operating and maintenance expense primarily includes costs associated with operating and maintaining the Liquefaction Project. The increase inAdditionally, operating and maintenance expense (including affiliate) includes costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as further described earlier in Impact of COVID-19 and Market Environment, which was the primary reason for the increase between the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 was primarily relatedand also contributed to the increase between the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Operating and maintenance expense (including affiliate) also increased between the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 due to increased third-party service and maintenance contract costs, increased natural gas transportation and storage capacity demand charges increased third-party service and maintenance contract costs and increased payroll and benefit costs of operations personnel, generally as a result of the

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased between the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in the portion of total interest costs that is eligible for capitalization due to the commencement of operations at the Liquefaction Project.Project, partially offset by lower interest costs as a result of refinancing a portion of the outstanding balance under the CCH Credit Facility and lower interest rates. We incurred $129$119 million and $133$138 million of total interest cost, of which we capitalized $30$29 million and $121$65 million, which was primarily related to interest costs incurred to construct the remaining assets of the Liquefaction Project during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We incurred $248 million and $271 million of total interest cost, of which we capitalized $59 million and $186 million, which was primarily related to interest costs incurred to construct the remaining assets of the Liquefaction Project during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Marketing and Trading Commodity Price Risk

We have entered into commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas supply contracts for the commissioning and operation of the Liquefaction Project (“Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”). In order to test the sensitivity of the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives to changes in underlying commodity prices, management modeled a 10% change in the commodity price for natural gas for each delivery location as follows (in millions):

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily when we incur debt related to project financing. Interest rate risk is managed in part by replacing outstanding floating-rate debt with fixed-rate debt with varying maturities. We have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the exposure to volatility in a portion of the floating-rate interest payments under the CCH Credit Facility (“CCH Interest Rate Derivatives”) and to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact our anticipated future issuance of debt (“CCH Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives” and, collectively with the CCH Interest Rate Derivatives, the “Interest Rate Derivatives”). In order to test the sensitivity of the fair value of the Interest Rate Derivatives to changes in interest rates, management modeled a 10% change in the forward one-month LIBOR curve across the remaining terms of the CCH Interest Rate Derivatives and CCH Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives as follows (in millions):

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We may in the future be involved as a party to various legal proceedings, which are incidental to the ordinary course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except as presented below, thereThere have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and volatility in, except for the energy markets may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 have resulted in significant disruption globally. Actions taken by various governmental authorities, individuals and companies around the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have restricted travel, business operations, and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. Additionally, recent disputes over production levels between members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing countries has resulted in increased volatility in oil and natural gas prices.

The extent, duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including the impact of the pandemic on global and regional economies, travel, and economic activity, as well as actions taken by governments, business and individuals in response to the pandemic or any future resurgence. These developments include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on unemployment rates, the demand for oil and natural gas, levels of consumer confidence and the post-pandemic pace of recovery.

Many uncertainties remain with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation. The COVID-19 pandemic alone or coupled with continued volatility in the energy markets may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects or have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described herein andupdates presented in our annualquarterly report on Form 10-K10-Q for the year ended December 31, 2019. The extent to which our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects are affected by the COVID-19 outbreak or volatility in the energy markets will depend on various factors beyond our control and are highly uncertain, including the duration and scope of the outbreak, decreased demand for LNG and the resulting economic effects of the outbreak of COVID-19.

Our ability to generate cash is substantially dependent upon the performance by customers under long-term contracts that we have entered into, and we could be materially and adversely affected if any significant customer fails to perform its contractual obligations for any reason.

Our future results and liquidity are substantially dependent upon performance by our customers to make payments under long-term contracts. As ofquarterly period ending March 31, 2020 we had SPAs with nine third-party customers. We are dependent on each customer’s continued willingness and ability to perform its obligations under its SPA. We are exposed to the credit risk of any guarantor of these customers’ obligations under their respective agreements in the event that we must seek recourse under a guaranty. As a result of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the volatility in the energy markets, we believe we are exposed to heightened credit and performance risk of our customers. Additionally, some customers have indicated to us that COVID-19 has begun to impact their operations and/or may impact their operations in the future. Some of our SPA customers’ primary countries of business have experienced a significant number of COVID-19 cases and/or have been subject to government imposed lockdown or quarantine measures. Although we believe that impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on LNG regasification facilities, downstream markets and broader energy demand do not constitute valid force majeure claims under our FOB LNG SPAs, if any significant customer fails to perform its obligations under its SPA, our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, even if we were ultimately successful in seeking damages from that customer or its guarantor for a breach of the agreement.


Cost overruns and delays in the completion of Train 3 or any future Trains, as well as difficulties in obtaining sufficient financing to pay for such costs and delays, could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.

The actual construction costs of Train 3 and any future Trains may be significantly higher than our current estimates as a result of many factors, including change orders under existing or future EPC contracts resulting from the occurrence of certain specified events that may give our EPC contractor the right to cause us to enter into change orders or resulting from changes with which we otherwise agree. We have already experienced increased costs due to change orders. As construction progresses, we may decide or be forced to submit change orders to our contractor that could result in longer construction periods, higher construction costs or both, including change orders to comply with existing or future environmental or other regulations.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and the resulting actions taken by governmental and regulatory authorities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 may cause a slow-down in the construction of one or more Trains. Our EPC contractor has advised us of voluntary proactive measures it is taking to protect employees and to mitigate risks associated with COVID-19, however, it has not indicated that there will be any changes to the project cost or schedule and is still performing its obligations under its EPC contract. While the construction of Train 3 is continuing, if there was a major outbreak of COVID-19 at any construction site or the implementation of restrictions by the government that prevented construction for an extended period, we could experience significant delays in the construction of one or more Trains.

Delays in the construction of one or more Trains beyond the estimated development periods, as well as change orders to our existing EPC contract or any future EPC contract related to additional Trains, could increase the cost of completion beyond the amounts that we estimate, which could require us to obtain additional sources of financing to fund our operations until the Liquefaction Project is fully constructed (which could cause further delays). Our ability to obtain financing that may be needed to provide additional funding to cover increased costs will depend, in part, on factors beyond our control. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Even if we are able to obtain financing, we may have to accept terms that are disadvantageous to us or that may have a material adverse effect on our current or future business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.

Outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as the outbreak of COVID-19, at our facilities could adversely affect our operations.

Federal, state and local governments have enacted various measures to try to contain the outbreak of COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. Our facilities at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal are critical infrastructure and have continued to operate during the outbreak, which means that Cheniere must keep its employees who operate our facilities safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the virus. In response, Cheniere has taken extra precautionary measures to protect the continued safety and welfare of its employees who continue to work at our facilities and have modified certain business and workforce practices, such as implementing work from home policies where appropriate. The measures taken to prevent an outbreak at our facilities have resulted in increased costs. If a large number of Cheniere’s employees in those critical facilities were to contract COVID-19 at the same time, our operations could be adversely affected.
