Long-term Capital Structure Plan 30  Utilize leverage capacity at CQP and CEI (the corporate levels) to delever SPL and CCH (the project levels) over the next 5-10 years  Debt incurrence test will force the deleveraging of SPL and CCH over time at 1.5x/1.4x DSCR  By migrating project debt up to CQP and CEI (subject to ≤ 5.0x decon. debt / EBITDA constraint), project level debt amortization requirements can be pushed out to the mid to late 2020s  Plan maximizes value to equity holders while adhering to indenture amortization requirements at the project levels  Investment grade ratings at the project levels and strong high yield (“HY”) ratings (BB / Ba) at the corporate levels can be achieved and maintained  This framework provides CEI significant free cash flow to invest and grow which can further defer substantial debt pay down, while at the same time returning capital to shareholders via share repurchases and/or dividends By taking advantage of leverage capacity at the corporate levels, project level debt amortization not required until the mid to late 2020s, even with no growth beyond 7 trains

New LNG Investment Considerations 46 Fundamentals that have evolved for Cheniere  Strong cash flows from first trains and corporate debt capacity enable flexibility • Portfolio management with contract ladder versus long-term only • Attractive foundation contracts with investment grade counterparties allow for initially higher leverage levels  High performance levels and focus on first quartile operating performance allow CMI the ability to optimize excess capacity • Train FID conditions precedent not necessary for new firm contracts • Marketing arm has flexibility to sell short, medium or long-term deals either FOB or DES Investment parameters going forward  Investment grade at the asset level is important  Targeting a benefit to cost ratio of 1 within 10 years for discretionary capital investment on a contractual basis  Assume conservative contracting levels for unsold capacity at FID to meet cost of capital  Retain flexibility to firm up / re-contract unsold capacity opportunistically to exceed cost of capital  Target no more than ~20% and no less than ~5% of portfolio excess LNG capacity remains open


 
Key Takeaways 47 Cheniere’s first mover advantage and successful financial and operational execution have Cheniere well placed for the next wave of new LNG build  No debt maturities until 2020  First three trains online ahead of schedule; remaining trains on time and on budget  Two world-class LNG sites with room to grow 1 Long-term balance sheet strategy creates 7-10 year run-way to reinvest cash flow to grow and de-lever the business  No material debt amortization required  Project DSCR metrics of 1.4x/1.5x and 5.0x corporate debt/EBITDA sustainable  New trains financed with operating cash flow can de-lever balance sheet and push out amortization requirements 2 Robust cash flow generation will enable Cheniere to both fund growth and return capital to shareholders  Cheniere will generate significant free cash flow: ~$4.0 billion of cash available over next five years  Projected returns via share repurchases will be benchmark against capital allocation decisions  Opportunities may arise over time to reduce complexity of corporate structure 3 Cheniere’s significant operational and commercial advantages along with its brownfield siting and financial flexibility enable Cheniere to add substantial LNG capacity over the next five years

Liquefaction Capacity 115 How do we define nominal production capacity?  Nominal production capacity is the approximate expected capacity before adjustments, which include: • Planned maintenance • Reliability • Over design • Debottlenecking • Process conditions Are the adjustments the same for Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi?  Most of the adjustments are expected to be similar except planned maintenance Is capacity the same every year?  Capacity for each train varies year to year mainly due to the amount of planned maintenance • Planned maintenance is driven mainly by turbine maintenance • Minor variations due to reliability or weather conditions may occur


 
Liquefaction Capacity 116 4.5 mtpa Maintenance Adjustments Reliability Adjustments 4.3 mtpa 4.6 mtpa Planned Maintenance Unplanned Maintenance Nominal Capacity Adjusted Capacity What adjusted capacity can be expected from Cheniere’s 7 trains?  Adjusted nominal capacity is expected to range between 4.3 and 4.6 mtpa in run-rate years • Preliminary overdesign assessment in progress; require warm weather data • Low end is driven by years with major planned maintenance • Debottlenecking opportunities have been identified from Sabine Pass operating trains Debottleneck Overdesign Process Conditions


 
Performance Versus 115% of HH How do we measure performance?  Performance is measured as a percentage to LNG Produced (%) • Defined as the percentage of feed gas utilized, converted to condensate, or lost plus realized price in the supply and transportation of feed gas and production of LNG versus the total LNG produced • Initial allocation of 15% based on the 115% of HH; 5% for supply and 10% for facility usage What drives the performance?  Gas supply • Transportation fuel usage • Losses in transportation  Facility • Weather • Startups and shutdowns • Equipment performance What performance is expected on a volumetric basis?  Based on early results, facility is expected to average ~9% to 9.5%  Supply is expected to average ~1% to 1.7%, not including price advantages 117


 
Facility Maintenance  Maintenance requirements for a liquefaction facility • Refrigerant turbines, compressors and ancillary equipment package represents the majority of maintenance • Covered by a Contractual Services Agreement (CSA) with GE • Pipeline quality gas and no front end liquids removal unit reduce maintenance • Process is clean and non-corrosive so equipment and piping have long service life • No dedicated upstream facilities such as liquids removal units, gathering systems or wells • Maintenance CAPEX is greatly reduced  GE CSA covers planned maintenance on the refrigerant gas turbines, compressor and ancillary equipment • Cost is a fixed fee and is included in the operations and maintenance expenditures • Includes repair and replacement of wear parts and major components • 6-year full maintenance cycle which includes replacement of full turbine and wear parts on compressors 118

APPENDIX


 
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures 125 Regulation G Reconciliations  In addition to disclosing financial measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the accompanying presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Contracted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Distributable Cash Flow per Unit are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. These non- GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for our U.S. GAAP measures of performance and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. EBITDA / Adjusted EBITDA  EBITDA is computed as net income (loss) before net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest (for CEI), interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, adjusted for certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and other items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, as detailed in the following reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the effectiveness of our operating performance in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization which vary substantially from company to company depending on capital structure, the method by which assets were acquired and depreciation policies. Further, the exclusion of certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis.  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, interest expense, net of capitalized interest, changes in the fair value and settlement of our interest rate derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusting for the effects of certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and other items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, including the effects of modification or extinguishment of debt, impairment expense, changes in the fair value of our commodity and FX derivatives and non-cash compensation expense. We believe the exclusion of these items enables investors and other users of our financial information to assess our sequential and year-over-year performance and operating trends on a more comparable basis and is consistent with management’s own evaluation of performance.  Contracted EBITDA represents the EBITDA generated from production sold to contracted SPA foundation customers, CMI deals in the book and the related lifting margin and is calculated by net income (loss) before net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest (for CEI), interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe Contracted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management, investors and others users of our financial information in evaluating how lenders and the rating agencies calculate debt metrics. Contracted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Distributable Cash Flow  For Cheniere Energy, Inc., Distributable Cash Flow is defined as cash received from its ownership and interests in CQP, CQH and CCH, cash received (used) by its CMI segment (other than cash for capital expenditures) less interest, taxes and maintenance capital expenditures associated with Cheniere Energy, Inc. and not the underlying entities. Management uses this measure and believes it provides users of our financial statements a useful measure reflective of our business’s ability to generate cash earnings to supplement the comparable GAAP measure. DCF per share is DCF divided by average outstanding common shares.  For Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations. CQP defines Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and deferred income taxes. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities includes unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments (excluding lower of cost or market adjustments).  Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Distributable Cash Flow per Unit are calculated by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding.  We believe Distributable Cash Flow is a useful performance measure for management, investors and other users of our financial information to evaluate our performance and to measure and estimate the ability of our assets to generate cash earnings after servicing our debt, paying cash taxes and expending sustaining capital, that could be used for discretionary purposes such as common stock dividends or common unit distributions, as applicable, stock repurchases, retirement of debt, or expansion capital expenditures. Management uses this measure and believes it provides users of our financial statements a useful measure reflective of our business’s ability to generate cash earnings to supplement the comparable GAAP measure. Distributable Cash Flow is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  We are unable to reconcile forecasted or run rate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Contracted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Distributable Cash Flow per Unit to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable measure under GAAP, because we have not made any forecast of net income beyond the current year. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or in lieu of an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, and should be evaluated only on a supplementary basis.
