NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We operate a natural gas liquefaction and export facility located near Corpus Christi, Texas (the “Corpus Christi LNG Terminal”) through CCL, which has three operational Trains for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG, three LNG storage tanks and two marine berths. Additionally, we are constructing an expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal (the “Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project”) for up to seven midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of over 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 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 positive 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 ~~existing operational Trains, midscale Trains, storage tanks~~Corpus Christi LNG Terminal and ~~marine berths,~~the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, the “Liquefaction Project”).

We have increased available liquefaction capacity at our Liquefaction Project as a result of 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. In ~~August 2022, CCH~~March 2023, CCL and another subsidiary of Cheniere ~~initiated the pre-filing review process~~submitted an application with the FERC under the ~~National Environmental Policy~~Natural Gas Act for an expansion adjacent to the Liquefaction Project consisting of two midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of approximately 3 mtpa of LNG. The development of this site or other projects, including infrastructure projects in support of natural gas supply and LNG demand, will require, among other things, acceptable commercial and financing arrangements before we make a positive FID.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of CCH have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial results for the interim periods presented. 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, ~~2021~~2022.

Results of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

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

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 temporary optional expedients under the standard isbecame effective ~~from~~ March 12, 2020 toand will be available until December 31, ~~2022.~~

2024 following a subsequent amendment to the standard.

We ~~had interest rate swaps and~~have various credit facilities indexed to LIBOR, as further described in Note ~~7—Derivative Instruments~~ ~~and~~ ~~Note 9—~~8—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~~did not have a material impact on 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 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 contribution in our Consolidated 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):~~

NOTE 7—6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

~~We have~~CCL has entered into ~~the following derivative instruments:~~

•interest rate swaps (“Interest Rate Derivatives”) to hedge the exposure to volatility in a portion of the floating-rate interest payments on our CCH Credit Facility, with the last of our Interest Rate Derivatives expiring in May 2022; and

•commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas and power supply contracts, including those under ~~our~~the IPM agreements, for the development, commissioning and operation of the Liquefaction Project ~~(“Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”)~~ and associated economic hedges ~~(“Financial Liquefaction Supply Derivatives,” and collectively with the Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives, the~~(collectively, “Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”).

We recognize ~~our~~CCL’s derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. None of ~~our~~CCL’s 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, in which case such changes are capitalized.

The following table shows the fair value of ~~our~~the derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (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 or option-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~~the 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 significant portion of ~~our Physical~~the 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 volatility.

(1)The Level 2 estimated fair value was based on quotes obtained from broker-dealers or market makers of these senior notes and other similar instruments.

(2)The Level 3 estimated fair value was calculated based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including interest rates based on debt issued by parties with comparable credit ratings to us and inputs that are not observable in the market.

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:

(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. Additionally, we have excluded variable consideration related to contracts where there is uncertainty that one or both of the parties will achieve certain milestones. Approximately ~~73%~~55% and ~~59%~~64% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021, respectively, and approximately 70% and 53% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,~~ respectively, were related to variable consideration received from customers. Approximately ~~89% and 87%~~83% of our LNG revenues—affiliate from contracts included in the table above during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022, respectively,~~March 31, 2023 were related to variable consideration received from customers.

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.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited liability company formed in 2014 by Cheniere. We provide clean, secure and affordable LNG to 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 a natural gas liquefaction and export facility located near Corpus Christi, Texas (the “Corpus Christi LNG Terminal”) through CCL, which has natural gas liquefaction facilities consisting of three operational Trains for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG, 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. Additionally, we are constructing an expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal (the “Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project”) for up to seven midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of over 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 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 and issued a full notice to proceed with construction to Bechtel Energy Inc. (“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.~~

We also own and operate through CCP 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 ~~existing operational Trains, midscale Trains, storage tanks~~Corpus Christi LNG Terminal and ~~marine berths,~~the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, the “Liquefaction Project”).

~~Table~~Our long-term customer arrangements form the foundation of ~~Contents~~

~~Our customer arrangements~~our business and provide us with significant, stable, ~~and~~ long-term cash flows. We ~~contract~~have contracted most of our anticipated production capacity under SPAs, in which our customers are generally required to pay a fixed fee with respect to the contracted volumes irrespective of their election to cancel or suspend deliveries of LNG cargoes, and under IPM agreements, in which the gas producer sells natural gas to us on a global LNG index price, less a fixed liquefaction fee, shipping and other costs. ~~Our long-term customer arrangements form the foundation of our business and provide us with significant, stable, long-term cash flows.~~ Through our SPAs and IPM agreements, we have contracted

Table of Contents

approximately ~~85%~~88% of the total anticipated production capacity from the Liquefaction Project with approximately 18 years of weighted average remaining life as of ~~September 30, 2022. In~~ March ~~2022, the DOE authorized the export of an additional 108.16 Bcf/yr of domestically produced LNG by vessel from the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal through December~~ 31, 2050 to non-FTA countries, that were previously authorized for FTA countries only. For further discussion of the contracted 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~~.2023.

We remain focused on safety, 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 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. In ~~August 2022, CCH~~March 2023, CCL and another subsidiary of Cheniere ~~initiated the pre-filing review process~~submitted an application with the FERC under the ~~National Environmental Policy~~Natural Gas Act (“NGA”) for an expansion adjacent to the Liquefaction Project consisting of two midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of approximately 3 mtpa of ~~LNG.~~LNG (the “Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project”). The development of ~~this site~~the Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project or other projects, including infrastructure projects in support of natural gas supply and LNG demand, will require, among other things, acceptable commercial and financing arrangements before ~~we make~~ a positive ~~FID.~~FID is made.

Additionally, we are committed to the responsible and proactive management of our most important environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) impacts, risks and opportunities. In ~~June~~ 2022, Cheniere published Acting Today, Securing Tomorrow, its ~~2021~~third Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) report, which details ~~our~~Cheniere’s approach and progress on ESG issues, including ~~Cheniere’s~~its collaboration with natural gas midstream companies, ~~methane detection~~ technology providers and leading academic institutions ~~to implement~~on life-cycle assessment (“LCA”) models, quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification (“QMRV”) of greenhouse gas ~~(“GHG”)~~ emissions and other research and development projects. Cheniere also co-founded and sponsored the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab (“EEMDL”), a multidisciplinary research and education initiative led by the University of Texas at ~~natural gas gathering, processing, transmission~~Austin in collaboration with Colorado State University and ~~storage systems specific to our supply chain, as well as our contributions to energy security during a critical time in history. Additionally,~~the Colorado School of Mines. In addition, Cheniere commenced providing Cargo Emissions Tags (“CE Tags”) to ~~its~~our long-term customers in June ~~2022. The CE Tags provide customers with estimated GHG emissions data associated with each LNG cargo produced at the Liquefaction Project~~2022 and ~~are provided for both FOB and DES LNG cargoes. Cheniere also~~ joined the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (“OGMP”) 2.0, the United Nations Environment Programme’s (“UNEP”) flagship oil and gas methane emissions reporting and mitigation initiative, in October 2022. ~~OGMP 2.0 is a comprehensive, measurement-based reporting framework intended to improve the accuracy and transparency of methane emissions reporting in the oil and gas sector.~~ Cheniere’s CR report is available at cheniere.com/our-responsibility/reporting-center. Information on ~~our~~Cheniere’s website, including the CR report, is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview of Significant Events

Our significant events since January 1, ~~2022~~2023 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q include the following:

Strategic

•In ~~July 2022,~~March 2023, CCL entered into a long-term LNG SPA with PTT Global LNG Company Limited (“PTTGL”), under which PTTGL has agreed to purchase 20 million tonnes of LNG from CCL for twenty years beginning in 2026. The SPA calls for a combination of FOB and ~~DES deliveries. The purchase price for LNG under the SPA is indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction 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 11 million tonnes of LNG on an FOB basis, and extending the term to approximately 20 years, which began in September 2021.

~~Table of Contents~~

•On June 15, 2022, Cheniere’s Board made a positive FID with respect to the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project and issued a full notice to proceed with construction to Bechtel under the EPC contract to commence construction of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project effective June 16, 2022. In connection with the positive FID, CCL Stage III was contributed to us and subsequently merged with and into CCL, with CCL the surviving company of the 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 (“ARC U.S.”), EOG Resources, Inc. and Apache Corporation, each with terms of approximately 15 years, aggregating approximately 65 million tonnes, approximately 40 million tonnes of which commences with commercial operations of certain Trains of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project (the “Transferred IPM Agreements”);

◦~~SPAs held by Cheniere Marketing International LLP (“Cheniere Marketing”), a wholly owned~~another subsidiary of Cheniere ~~or its subsidiaries~~submitted an application 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 ~~place of a portion of~~FERC under the ~~term of the existing agreement between PGNiG and Cheniere Marketing, aggregating approximately 105 million tonnes of LNG to be delivered through 2046; and~~

◦~~the aforementioned EPC contract with Bechtel~~NGA for the ~~Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project for a contract price of approximately $5.5 billion, subject to adjustment only by change order.~~

Substantially all of the favorable variance of $4.6 billion for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022, respectively,~~March 31, 2023 as compared to ~~net loss~~the same period of $523 million and $263 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Substantially all of the increase in net loss of $3.0 billion and $4.5 billion during the three and nine month comparable periods, respectively,2022 was ~~due~~attributable to ~~an increase in commodity derivatives losses from unfavorable~~favorable changes in fair value and settlements of ~~$3.2 billion and $4.8~~derivatives of $4.5 billion between the years, of which $3.7 billion related to non-cash favorable changes in fair value of our IPM agreements where we procure natural gas at a price indexed to international gas prices.

The following is an additional discussion of the significant variance drivers of the change in net income (loss) by line item:

Revenues. $347 million decrease between comparable periods ~~respectively, as further described below. Included~~primarily attributable to:

•$366 million decrease due to lower pricing per MMBtu from decreased Henry Hub pricing; which was offset by

•$28 million increase due to slightly higher volumes of LNG delivered between the periods, which increased 6 TBtu or 3%.

Operating costs and expenses. $4.9 billion favorable variance between comparable periods primarily attributable to:

•$4.4 billion favorable variance from changes in fair value of derivatives included in cost of sales, from $1.0 billion of losses in the ~~derivative loss incurred during both~~three months ended March 31, 2022 to $3.4 billionof gains in the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022 was~~March 31, 2023, primarily due to decreased international gas prices resulting in non-cash favorable changes in fair value of our commodity derivatives indexed to such prices and, to a ~~loss incurred~~lesser extent, an increase in forward notional amount of ~~$2.9 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, associated~~derivatives due to agreements contributed to us upon the merger of Corpus Christ Liquefaction Stage III, LLC with and ~~following~~into CCL in June 2022; and

•$416 million decrease in cost of sales excluding the ~~Contribution~~effect of ~~the Transferred IPM Agreements on June 15, 2022,~~derivative changes described above, primarily attributable 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. Partially offsetting the increased net loss during the periods was increased gross margin per MMBtu on LNG delivered, due to higher margins on sales indexed to Henry Hub plus a mark up, generally at 115%, as a result of ~~increases~~$409 million in ~~the index, and increased volumes delivered, in part~~decreased cost of natural gas feedstock largely due to ~~substantial completion~~lower U.S. natural gas prices and ~~commencement~~partially offset by increased volume of ~~operations of Train 3 of~~LNG delivered, as discussed above under the ~~Liquefaction Project, which achieved substantial completion on March 26, 2021 (the “Train 3 Completion”).~~caption Revenues.

~~Substantially all derivative losses relate to the use~~Other income (expense). $47 million decrease in total other income (expense) between comparable periods primarily attributable to:

•$55 million decrease in interest expense, net of commodity derivative instruments indexed to international LNG prices, primarily related to our IPM agreements. While operationally we utilize commodity derivatives to mitigate price volatility for commodities procured or sold over a period of time,capitalized interest, as a result of ~~significant appreciation~~lower debt balances due to repayment of debt and lower interest costs due to refinancing higher cost debt, as further described under Financing Cash Flows in ~~forward international LNG commodity curves~~Sources and Uses of Cash within Liquidity and Capital Resources. Additionally, the decrease in interest expense, net of capitalized interest is due to a higher portion of total interest costs eligible for capitalization following the issuance of full notice to proceed to Bechtel on the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project in 2022; partially offset by

•$8 million increase in loss on modification or extinguishment of debt primarily due to premiums paid for the early redemption of the 2024 CCH Senior Notes during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized approximately $3.6 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, of non-cash unfavorable changes in fair value attributed to positions indexed to such prices, including the losses of $2.9 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively on the Transferred IPM Agreements in connection with the contribution as described above.March 31, 2023.

Significant factors affecting our results of operations

Below are significant factors that affect our results of operations.

Gains and losses on derivative instruments

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. For commodity derivative instruments related to our IPM agreements, ~~including those transferred to CCL during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as described further in~~ ~~Overview of Significant Events~~, 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 that may be outside of our control, notwithstanding the operational intent to mitigate risk exposure over time.

~~As described in~~ ~~Overview of Significant Events~~, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into SPAs with various counterparties for approximately 135 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.Commissioning cargoes

~~Revenues~~

~~(1)The nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes four TBtu that were loaded at our affiliate’s facility.~~

Total revenues increased by approximately $1.3 billion and $3.7 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable periods in 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of increased pricing due to appreciation in the Henry Hub index. Additionally, there were higher volumes of LNG delivered during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the additional production capacity of approximately 5 mtpa from the Train 3 Completion.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, we realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $143 million corresponding to 28 TBtu of LNG that were related to the sale of commissioning cargoes.~~ We did not record any offsets to LNG terminal costs during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~the three months ended September 30, 2021.~~2022.

Also included in LNG revenues are sales of certain unutilized natural gas procured for the 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 physical delivery. We recognized revenues of $81 million and $60 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $186 million and $150 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to these transactions.

~~Table of Contents~~

Total operating costs and expenses increased by $4.3 billion and $8.1 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable periods in 2021, respectively. 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. Cost of sales also includes change in fair value of commodity derivatives to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project, costs associated with the sale of certain unutilized natural gas procured for the liquefaction process, variable transportation and storage costs and other costs to convert natural gas into LNG. Substantially all of the increase in operating costs and expenses in both comparable periods was attributed to third party cost of sales, which increased by $4.3 billion and $8.1 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable 2021 periods, respectively, primarily as a result of unfavorable changes in our commodity derivatives to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project, as discussed in ~~Net loss~~ ~~above, increased pricing of natural gas feedstock due to higher U.S. natural gas prices and, to a lesser extent, from increased volume of LNG delivered.~~

Operating and maintenance expense (including affiliate and related party) primarily includes costs associated with operating and maintaining the Liquefaction Project and also includes service and maintenance, insurance, regulatory costs and other operating costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, operating and maintenance expense increased from the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to increased natural gas transportation and storage capacity demand charges following Train 3 Completion, as Train 3 was in operation for the full nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to six of the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

~~Depreciation and amortization expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable period in 2021 primarily as a result of Train 3 Completion.~~

~~Total interest expense, net of capitalized interest consisted of the following (in millions):~~

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable period in 2021 due to a higher portion of total interest costs eligible for capitalization following the issuance of full notice to proceed to Bechtel on the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project in June 2022. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable period in 2021 due to a lower portion of total interest costs eligible for capitalization related to the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project in 2022 as compared to Train 3 in 2021.

Loss on modification or extinguishment of debt decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable period in 2021 and increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the comparable period in 2021, due to the amount of debt that was paid down in the respective periods prior to their scheduled maturities as further described in ~~Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources and Uses of Cash—Financing Cash Flows~~.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following information describes our ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet our requirements in the short term and the long term. In the short term, we expect to meet our cash requirements using operating cash flows and available liquidity, consisting of restricted cash and cash equivalents and available commitments under our credit facilities. ~~In the long term,~~Additionally, we expect to meet our long term cash requirements by using operating cash flows and other future potential sources of liquidity, which may include debt offerings. The table below provides a summary of our available liquidity (in millions). Future material sources of liquidity are discussed below.


	~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023




Restricted cash and cash equivalents designated for the Liquefaction Project	$	~~202~~93
Available commitments under our credit facilities (1):
CCH Credit Facility	3,260
CCH Working Capital Facility	~~1,282~~1,338
Total available commitments under our credit facilities	4,598

Total available liquidity	$	~~4,744~~4,691

(1)Available commitments represent total commitments less loans outstanding and letters of credit issued under each of our credit facilities as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. See Note 9—8 —Debt of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facilities and other debt instruments.

Our liquidity position subsequent to ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 will be driven by future sources of liquidity and future cash requirements. Future sources of liquidity are expected to be composed of (1) cash receipts from executed contracts, under which we are contractually entitled to future consideration, and (2) additional sources of liquidity, from which we expect to receive cash although the cash is not underpinned by executed contracts. Future cash requirements are expected to be composed of (1) cash payments under executed contracts, under which we are contractually obligated to make payments, and (2) additional cash requirements, under which we expect to make payments although we are not contractually obligated to make the payments under executed contracts.

~~Revised Capital Allocation Plan~~

~~In September 2022,~~ For further discussion of our future sources and uses of liquidity, see the ~~board of directors of Cheniere approved a revised long-term~~liquidity and capital ~~allocation plan, which may involve~~resources disclosures in our annual report on Form 10-K for the ~~repayment, redemption or repurchase, on the open market or otherwise, of debt, including our senior notes. Pursuant to the capital allocation plan, in the three months~~fiscal year ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2022 ~~Cheniere repurchased a total of $30 million of CCH’s Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and 2039 on the open market.~~

~~Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project~~

Supplemental Guarantor Information

The ~~7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024,~~ 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, 3.700% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and the series of Senior Secured Notes due 2039 with weighted average rate of ~~3.72%~~3.788% (collectively, the “CCH Senior Notes”) are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our consolidated subsidiaries, CCL, CCP and Corpus Christi Pipeline GP, LLC (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”).

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 is omitted herein because such information would not be materially different from our Consolidated Financial Statements.
