DISCLOSURE ABOUT SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

NOTE 19 — DISCLOSURE ABOUT SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company commenced construction of the Driftwood terminal under the Phase 1 EPC Agreement with Bechtel. The Company also continued to increase its natural gas presence in the Haynesville Shale basin in northern Louisiana through the acquisition of mineral rights and natural gas drilling and marketing activities. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) determined to place additional emphasis on operating cash flows generated by our upstream and natural gas marketing business activities. Consequently, we identified the Upstream, Midstream and Marketing & Trading components as the Company’s operating segments. The Company’s prior period information was retrospectively revised to reflect this change in reportable segments.

These functions have been defined as the operating segments of the Company because (1) they are engaged in business activities from which revenues are recognized and expenses are incurred, (2) their operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (3) they are segments for which discrete financial information is available.

Factors used to identify these operating segments are based on the nature of the business activities that are undertaken by each component. The Upstream segment is organized and operates to produce, gather and deliver natural gas and to acquire and develop natural gas assets. The Midstream segment is organized to develop, construct and operate LNG terminals and pipelines. The Marketing & Trading segment is organized and operates to purchase and sell natural gas produced primarily by the Upstream segment, market the Driftwood terminal’s LNG production capacity and trade LNG. These operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. The remainder of our business is presented as “Corporate,” and consists of corporate costs and intersegment eliminations. The Company’s CODM does not currently assess segment performance or allocate resources based on a measure of total assets. Accordingly, a total asset measure has not been provided for segment disclosure.
