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 currently 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”) consisting of seven midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of over 10 mtpa of LNG.

Through our subsidiary CCP, we also own a 21.5-mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal with several large interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the existing assets at the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal and the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, the “Liquefaction Project”).

We are pursuing an expansion project to provide additional liquefaction capacity, and we have commenced commercialization to support the additional liquefaction capacity associated with this potential expansion project. 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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, 2023.

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 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, 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 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 entered into commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas and power supply contracts, including those under the IPM agreements, for the development, commissioning and 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 Consolidated 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 September 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 September 30, 2024, the remaining fixed terms of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives ranged up to approximately 15 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 7,281 TBtu and 7,774 TBtu as of September 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 both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Fair Value and Location of Derivative Assets and Liabilities on the Consolidated 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 the derivative instruments are in an asset position. Additionally, counterparties are at risk that we will be unable to meet its 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.

Contributions from Cheniere for Extinguishment of Senior Secured Notes

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Cheniere fully retired $1.5 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 2025 CCH Senior Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Cheniere repurchased $400 million of certain series of our Senior Secured Notes on the open market, which were subsequently cancelled by us. Additionally, Cheniere paid interest on our behalf that was due at the time of the respective debt repayments of $23 million and $2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a non-cash charge through equity of $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 associated with the debt extinguishments.

The aforementioned debt extinguishment activities by Cheniere on our behalf were in accordance with the Equity Contribution Agreements, as noted in Note 9—Related Party Transactions, and recorded as net contributions from Cheniere to us, for which we paid no consideration, within our Consolidated Statements of Member’s Equity.

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 us and our restricted subsidiaries’ 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 September 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 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:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023

Total revenues$49.1 $50.5 
(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 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 volumes that are contractually subject to additional liquefaction capacity beyond what is currently in construction or operation.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited liability company formed 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, 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 and operate a natural gas liquefaction and export facility located near Corpus Christi, Texas (the “Corpus Christi LNG Terminal”) through CCL, which currently 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. We are constructing an expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal (the “Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project”) consisting of seven midscale Trains with an expected total production capacity of over 10 mtpa of LNG. We also own and operate through CCP a 21.5-mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal with several large interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the existing assets at the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal and the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, the “Liquefaction Project”).

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 IPM agreements, 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 agreements, we have contracted
19

Table of Contents

approximately 90% of the total anticipated production from the Liquefaction Project with approximately 17 years of weighted average remaining life as of September 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 Corpus Christi LNG Terminal, which provides opportunity for further liquefaction capacity expansion. In March 2023, CCL and another subsidiary of Cheniere submitted an application to the FERC under the Natural Gas Act (the “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 (the “CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project”). The development of 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 a positive FID is made.

Additionally, we are committed to the management of our most important ESG impacts, risks and opportunities. In August 2024, Cheniere published Energy Secured, Benefits Delivered, its fifth Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) report, which details Cheniere’s 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 June 2024, a positive Environmental Assessment was received from the FERC relating to the CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project. All remaining necessary regulatory approvals for the project are expected to be received in 2025.

Operational

As of October 25, 2024, approximately 1,020 cumulative LNG cargoes totaling approximately 70 million tonnes of LNG have been produced, loaded and exported from the Liquefaction Project.

Financial

In April 2024, the approximately $1.5 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 CCH Senior Notes”) was fully retired by Cheniere with cash on hand pursuant to a redemption notice issued in March 2024.
In July 2024, Fitch Ratings upgraded our issuer credit rating to BBB+ from BBB with a stable outlook.
In October 2024, S&P Global Ratings changed the outlook of our senior secured debt rating to positive from stable.

Net income

Net income declined by $623 million and $4.5 billion between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023 primarily as a result of unfavorable changes in fair value of derivatives of $699 million and $4.5 billion, respectively, principally attributable to our IPM agreements, mainly due to the nonrecurrence of significant declines of historic volatility in international gas prices and moderated and sustained spot prices in the current period relative to the same period of 2023. The remaining changes in fair value of derivatives were primarily due to an unfavorable shift in long-term U.S. natural gas forward prices.

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 $565 million decreases in revenues between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023, which was primarily attributable to $40 million and $420 million decreases, respectively, from lower pricing per MMBtu as a result of declining Henry Hub pricing. Between the comparable nine month periods, there was a further $147 million decrease from lower production volume, primarily attributable to increased maintenance activities resulting from temporary composition changes in the quality of feed gas received from third parties following a freeze event in the Permian Basin in January 2024.
Operating costs and expenses (recoveries)

The increase in operating costs and expenses of $629 million and $4.0 billion between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023, was attributable to $696 million and $4.5 billion decreases, respectively, in gains from changes in fair value of derivatives included in cost of sales, as described above under the caption Net income. The unfavorable variances were partially offset by $79 million and $510 million decreases in cost of sales excluding the effect of derivative changes described above between the three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2023, primarily as a result of $76 million and $494 million decreases, respectively, in cost of natural gas feedstock largely due to lower U.S. natural gas prices.

Other income (expense)

The $45 million and $120 million favorable variances between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023 were primarily attributable to $44 million and $113 million decreases, respectively, in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, due to lower overall interest cost resulting from debt reduction activities and increase in the extent of interest costs qualifying for capitalization, given the higher carrying value of assets under construction.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements. For commodity derivative instruments related to our IPM agreements, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives incorporates, as applicable, 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 facilities. 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.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

Certain debt obligations of CCH (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), consisting of the 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 3.788% (collectively, the “Senior Secured 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 of such obligations 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 a Guarantor as an “unrestricted subsidiary” in accordance with the indentures governing the respective debt instruments (the “CCH Indentures”), (3) 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 CCH, whether at maturity of the respective debt instrument or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted against the Guarantors to enforce the guarantee.

The Guaranteed Obligations contain affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for the respective debt instrument, including, with limited exceptions, restrictions on CCH’s and the CCH Guarantors’ ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or liens, enter into hedging arrangements and/or engage in transactions with affiliates. The Guaranteed Obligations also include events of default that are customary for the respective debt instrument, which are subject to customary grace periods and materiality standards.

The rights of holders of the Guaranteed Obligations 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.

23

Table of Contents

The Guaranteed Obligations are CCH’s senior secured obligations, ranking senior in right of payment to any and all of CCH’s future indebtedness that is subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations and equal in right of payment with CCH’s other existing and future indebtedness that is senior and secured by the same collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of CCH under the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of CCH and the Guarantors, as well as by all membership interests in CCH and each of the Guarantors on a pari passu basis with the CCH Credit Facility and the CCH Working Capital Facility.
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.

Net decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents$(97)$(608)

Operating Cash Flows

The $51 million decrease between the periods was primarily related to cash flows attributed to working capital, mainly due to differences in timing of payments to suppliers and cash collections from the sale of LNG cargoes.
Investing Cash Flows

Our investing net cash outflows in both periods primarily were for construction costs for the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project, which were $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.0 billion in the comparable period of 2023, as well as for optimization and other site improvement projects. We expect to incur a proportional level of capital expenditures for the remainder of the year as construction work progresses on the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project.
