NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We are a Delaware limited liability company formed by CQP and based in Houston with one member, Sabine Pass LNG-LP, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CQP. We and SPLNG are each indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Cheniere Investments, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CQP, a publicly traded limited partnership (NYSE MKT: CQP). CQP is a 48.6% owned subsidiary of Cheniere, a Houston-based energy company primarily engaged in LNG-related businesses. Cheniere also owns 100% of the general partner interest in CQP through ownership in Cheniere Energy Partners GP, LLC.

The natural gas liquefaction and export facility located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana at Sabine Pass (the “Sabine Pass LNG Terminal”) has six operational Trains, for a total production capacity of approximately 30 mtpa of LNG (the “Liquefaction Project”). The Sabine Pass LNG Terminal also has operational regasification facilities owned by SPLNG.

Another subsidiary of CQP is pursuing an expansion project to provide additional liquefaction capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal, and it has commenced commercialization to support the additional liquefaction capacity associated with this potential expansion project.

We do not have employees and thus we have various services agreements with affiliates of Cheniere in the ordinary course of business, including services required to construct, operate and maintain the Liquefaction Project, and administrative services. See Note 9—Related Party Transactions for additional details of the activity under these services agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Financial Statements of SPL 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 Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2024.

We are a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Our taxable income or loss is included in the federal income tax return of CQP. CQP is not subject to federal or state income taxes, as its partners are taxed individually on their allocable share of CQP’s taxable income. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in the accompanying Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Standards

ASU 2023-07

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). This guidance requires a public entity, including entities with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. We plan to adopt this guidance and conform with the applicable disclosures retrospectively when it becomes mandatorily effective for our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024.

NOTE 5—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We have commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas supply contracts, including those under our IPM agreement, for the operation of the Liquefaction Project and expansion project, as well as the 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, fair value or net investment hedging instruments, and changes in fair value are recorded within our Statements of Operations to the extent not utilized for the commissioning process, in which case such changes are capitalized.

We value the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives using a market or option-based approach incorporating present value techniques, as needed, which incorporates observable commodity price curves, when available, and other relevant data.

We include a significant portion of 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 may use in valuing the asset or liability. To the extent valued using an option pricing model, we consider the future prices of energy units for unobservable periods to be a significant unobservable input to estimated net fair value. In estimating the future prices of energy units, we make judgments about market risk related to liquidity of commodity indices and volatility utilizing available market data. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates and judgments, and actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments. We derive our volatility assumptions based on observed historical settled global LNG market pricing or accepted proxies for global LNG market pricing as well as settled domestic natural gas pricing. Such volatility assumptions also contemplate, as of the balance sheet date, observable forward curve data of such indices, as well as evolving available industry data and independent studies.

In developing our volatility assumptions, we acknowledge that the global LNG industry is inherently influenced by events such as unplanned supply constraints, geopolitical incidents, unusual climate events including drought and uncommonly mild, by historical standards, winters and summers, and real or threatened disruptive operational impacts to global energy infrastructure. Our current estimate of volatility includes the impact of otherwise rare events unless we believe market participants would exclude such events on account of their assertion that those events were specific to our company and deemed within our control. Our fair value estimates incorporate market participant-based assumptions pertaining to certain contractual uncertainties, including those related to the availability of market information for delivery points, as well as the timing of satisfaction of certain events or development of infrastructure to support natural gas gathering and transport. We may recognize changes in fair value through earnings that could significantly impact our results of operations if and when such uncertainties are resolved.

The Level 3 fair value measurements of our natural gas positions within the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives could be materially impacted by a significant change in certain natural gas and international LNG prices. The following table includes quantitative information for the unobservable inputs for the Level 3 Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as of June 30, 2024:

Liquefaction Supply Derivatives

We hold Liquefaction Supply Derivatives which are primarily indexed to the natural gas market and international LNG indices.  As of June 30, 2024, the remaining fixed terms of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives ranged up to approximately 14 years, some of which commence or accelerate upon the satisfaction of certain events or development of infrastructure to support natural gas gathering and transport.

The forward notional amount for the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives was approximately 5,286 TBtu and 5,478 TBtu as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, inclusive of amounts under contracts with unsatisfied contractual conditions, and exclusive of extension options that were uncertain to be taken as of June 30, 2024.

Fair Value and Location of Derivative Assets and Liabilities on the Balance Sheets

All existing counterparty derivative contracts provide for the unconditional right of set-off in the event of default. We have elected to report derivative assets and liabilities arising from those derivative contracts with the same counterparty and the unconditional contractual right of set-off on a net basis. 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 depending on the position of the derivative. 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.

Restrictive Debt Covenants

The indentures governing our senior notes and other agreements underlying our debt contain customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, may limit our ability to make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions. We are restricted from making distributions under agreements governing our indebtedness generally until, among other requirements, appropriate reserves have been established for debt service using cash or letters of credit and a historical debt service coverage ratio and projected debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00 is satisfied.

As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our debt agreements.

The remainder of the fair value of our senior notes are classified as Level 2, based on prices derived from trades or indicative bids of the instruments.

The estimated fair value of our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 approximated 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:

Total revenues$46.9 $49.0 
(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.
(2)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 included in the transaction price above when the conditions are considered probable of being met and consideration is not otherwise constrained from ultimate pricing and receipt.

The following potential future sources of revenue are omitted from the table above under exemptions we have elected: (1) all performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (2) substantially all variable consideration under our SPAs as well as 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 the underlying variable index, primarily 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.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited liability company formed by CQP. 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, converted 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, other industrial uses and back up for intermittent energy sources. 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 six operational Trains, for a total production capacity of approximately 30 mtpa of LNG (the “Liquefaction Project”), at a natural gas liquefaction and export facility located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana at Sabine Pass (the “Sabine Pass LNG Terminal”), one of the largest LNG production facilities in the world. The Sabine Pass LNG Terminal also has operational regasification facilities that include five LNG storage tanks and three marine berths owned and operated by SPLNG, a subsidiary of CQP, and a 94-mile natural gas supply pipeline owned and operated by CTPL, a subsidiary of CQP.

Our long-term customer arrangements form the foundation of our business and provide us with significant, stable, long-term cash flows. We 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 an IPM agreement, in which a gas producer sells natural gas to us on a global LNG or natural gas index price, less a fixed liquefaction fee, shipping and other costs. The SPAs also have a variable fee component, which is generally structured to cover the cost of natural gas purchases, transportation and liquefaction fuel consumed to produce LNG. Since we procure most of our feedstock for LNG production from the U.S., the structure of these contracts helps limit our exposure to fluctuations in U.S. natural gas prices. Through our SPAs and IPM agreement, we have contracted approximately 80% of the total anticipated production from the Liquefaction Project with approximately 14 years of weighted average remaining life as of June 30, 2024, excluding volumes that are contractually subject to additional liquefaction capacity beyond what is currently in construction or operation.

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 believe these factors provide a foundation for additional growth in our portfolio of customer contracts in the future. We hold a significant land position at the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal, which provides opportunity for further liquefaction capacity expansion. A subsidiary of CQP is developing an expansion adjacent to the Liquefaction Project with a total production capacity of up to approximately 20 mtpa of LNG, inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities (the “Expansion Project”). In February 2024, we and other subsidiaries of CQP submitted an application to the FERC under the Natural Gas Act (the “NGA”) for authorization to site, construct and operate the Expansion Project, as well as an application to the DOE requesting authorization to export LNG to FTA countries and non-FTA countries, both of which applications exclude debottlenecking. This expansion may be developed and constructed by an affiliate of ours outside of the Liquefaction Project. The development of the Expansion 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 a positive FID is made.
Additionally, we are committed to the management of our most important ESG impacts, risks and opportunities. In August 2023, Cheniere published The Power of Connection, its fourth Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) report, which details its approach and progress on ESG matters. Cheniere’s CR report is available at cheniere.com/our-responsibility/reporting-center. Information on 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, 2024 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q include the following:
Strategic

In February 2024, we and other subsidiaries of CQP submitted an application to the FERC under the NGA for authorization to site, construct and operate the Expansion Project, as well as an application to the DOE requesting authorization to export LNG to FTA countries and non-FTA countries, both of which applications exclude debottlenecking.

Operational

As of August 2, 2024, approximately 2,600 cumulative LNG cargoes totaling approximately 180 million tonnes of LNG have been produced, loaded and exported from the Liquefaction Project.

Financial

In May 2024, CQP issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 CQP Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the 2034 CQP Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used in June 2024 to retire $1.2 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 SPL Senior Notes”).
In May 2024, Moody’s Ratings upgraded our issuer credit rating to Baa1 from Baa2 and revised our outlook to stable from positive.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid $150 million and $300 million, respectively, of outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Senior Notes”).

Net income

Net income declined by $13 million between the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, primarily as a result of decreased revenues, as further described in Revenues below, partially offset by decreased interest expense, net of capitalized interest due to decrease in total indebtedness. Substantially all of the decline in net income of $1.2 billion between the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was attributable to unfavorable changes in fair value and settlements of derivatives, principally attributable to our IPM agreement with Tourmaline Oil Marketing Corp, where the associated gains decreased from $1.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $205 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the impact on fair value of moderating changes in volatility in international gas prices during the current period relative to the same period of 2023. Excluding the aforementioned changes in fair value and settlements of derivatives, LNG revenues, net of cost of sales was relatively consistent between the comparable periods.

Table of Contents
The following is an additional discussion of the significant drivers of the variance in net income by line item:
Revenues
We had $39 million and $662 million decreases in revenues between the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023, which was primarily attributable to $118 million and $854 million decreases, respectively, from lower pricing per MMBtu as a result of decrease in revenues attributable to declining Henry Hub pricing, partially offset by $96 million and $206 million increases, respectively, from higher production volume largely due to reduced operating and maintenance activities compared to the same period of 2023 and cooler weather.

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses remained relatively consistent between the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The $633 million increase between the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily attributable to a $1.4 billion unfavorable variance from changes in fair value of derivatives included in cost of sales, from $1.5 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $147 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to moderating volatility in international gas prices during the current period resulting in decreased non-cash gains in fair value of our commodity derivatives indexed to such prices, specifically associated with the Tourmaline IPM Agreement as discussed above under Net income. This increase was partially offset by a $644 million decrease in cost of sales excluding the effect of derivative changes described above, primarily as a result of a $562 million decrease in cost of natural gas feedstock largely due to lower U.S. natural gas prices.
Other income (expense)
The $30 million and $54 million favorable variances between the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023, were substantially all attributable to $32 million and $57 million decreases, respectively, in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, primarily due to decrease in total indebtedness. Total debt decreased from $12.1 billion as of December 31, 2022 to $8.9 billion as of June 30, 2024 as debt continued to be paid down as part of Cheniere’s long-term capital allocation plan.
Significant factor affecting our results of operations

Below is a significant factor that affects our results of operations.

Gains and losses on derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are utilized to manage our exposure to commodity-related marketing and price risks and are reported at fair value on our Financial Statements. For commodity derivative instruments related to our IPM agreement, 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. Notwithstanding the operational intent to mitigate risk exposure over time, the recognition of derivative instruments at fair value has the effect of recognizing gains or losses relating to future period exposure, and given the significant volumes, long-term duration and volatility in price basis for certain of our derivative contracts, the 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. For example, as described in Note 5—Derivative Instruments of our Notes to Financial Statements, the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives, as applicable, incorporates market participant-based assumptions pertaining to certain contractual uncertainties, including those related to the availability of market information for delivery points, which may require future development of infrastructure, as well as the timing of satisfaction of certain events or development of infrastructure to support natural gas gathering and transport. We may recognize changes in fair value through earnings that could significantly impact our results of operations if and when such uncertainties are resolved.

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 facility. 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.

(1)Available commitments represent total commitments less loans outstanding and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024. See Note 7—Debt of our Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt instruments.

Our liquidity position subsequent to June 30, 2024 will be driven by future sources of liquidity and future cash requirements. For a discussion of our future sources and uses of liquidity, see the liquidity and capital resources disclosures in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes the sources and uses of our restricted cash and cash equivalents (in millions). The table presents capital expenditures on a cash basis; therefore, these amounts differ from the amounts of capital expenditures, including accruals, which are referred to elsewhere in this report. Additional discussion of these items follows the table.

Net cash used in financing activities(1,255)(1,102)
Net increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents
$12 $149 

Operating Cash Flows

The $84 million decrease between the periods was primarily related to lower cash receipts from the sale of LNG cargoes from lower pricing per MMBtu primarily as a result of decreased Henry Hub pricing, which was partially offset by lower cash outflows for natural gas feedstock, mostly due to lower U.S. natural gas prices.
Investing Cash Flows

Cash outflows for property, plant and equipment during both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were primarily related to optimization and other site improvement projects.
Financing Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we made distributions to CQP of $885 million and $897 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid the outstanding aggregate principal amount of $300 million of the 2024 Senior Notes with cash on hand and we retired $1.2 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Senior Notes using the proceeds from the 2034 CQP Senior Notes and cash on hand. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed and repaid $30 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased $200 million of the 2024 Senior Notes in the open market.
