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 3three operational Trains for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG, 3three LNG storage tanks and 2two marine berths. Additionally, we are constructing an expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal (the “Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project”) for up to 7seven 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 tanksCorpus 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 March 2023, CCL and another subsidiary of Cheniere submitted an application with the FERC under the 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.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, 20212022.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022March 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 transition periodtemporary optional expedients under thisthe standard isbecame effective March 12, 2020 and will apply throughbe available until December 31, 2022.

2024 following a subsequent amendment to the standard.



We had interest rate swaps andhave various credit facilities indexed to LIBOR, as further described in Note 7—Derivative Instruments and Note 98—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,facilities; however, the impact of applying the optional expedients was not material, and the transition to SOFR or other replacement rate indexes doesdid 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 the 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 distribution in our 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):

Amended and Restated Debt Agreements

In June 2022, in connection with the FID with respect to the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project referenced above, CCH amended and restated its term loan credit facility (the “CCH Credit Facility”) and its working capital facility (“CCH Working Capital Facility”) to, among other things, (1) increase the commitments to approximately $4.0 billion and $1.5 billion for the CCH Credit Facility and the CCH Working Capital Facility, respectively, (2) extend the maturity of the CCH Credit Facility to the earlier of June 15, 2029 or two years after the substantial completion of the last Train of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project and of the CCH Working Capital Facility through June 15, 2027, (3) update the indexed interest rate to SOFR and (4) make certain other changes to the terms and conditions of the existing facility. See Note 9—Debt for additional information on our credit facilities.

NOTE 7—6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
We haveCCL 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 ourthe 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 ourCCL’s derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. None of ourCCL’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 ourthe 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 Physicalthe 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 Physicalthe 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.

Except for Interest Rate Derivatives, allAll 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 usCCL to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments, in instances when ourthe derivative instruments are in an asset position. Additionally, counterparties are at risk that weCCL will be unable to meet ourits commitments in instances where ourthe derivative instruments are in a liability position. We incorporate both our ownCCL’s 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 ourthe 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.

Cancellation of CCH Senior Secured Notes Contributed from Cheniere

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Cheniere repurchased $398 million of our Senior Secured Notes due 2027, 2029 and 2039 on the open market, with all of such repurchases immediately contributed to us from Cheniere for no consideration, and cancelled by us. It was determined that for accounting purposes, Cheniere repurchased the bonds on our behalf as a principal as opposed to as an agent, and thus the debt extinguishment was accounted for as an extinguishment directly with Cheniere.

Additionally, we recorded a net distribution from Cheniere totaling $2 million from associated operating activities, inclusive of $2 million of interest due to the extinguishment of debt at the time of repayment offset by our write off of associated debt issuance costs and discount of $4 million.

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.

(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 72%55% and 49%64% of our LNG revenues from contracts included in the table above during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, and approximately 68% and 48%were related to variable consideration received from customers. Approximately 83% of our LNG revenuesrevenues—affiliate from contracts included in the table above during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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.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. Refer to Note 2—CCL Stage III Contribution and Merger for additional information on the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project.

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
24


Table of Contents

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 tanksCorpus Christi LNG Terminal and marine berths,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, and long-term cash flows. We contracthave 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 gas on a global LNG index price, less a fixed liquefaction fee, shipping and other costs. Our long-term customer arrangements form the foundationThrough our SPAs and IPM agreements, we have contracted

Table of our business and provide us with significant, stable, long-term cash flows. We have contracted 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 June 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 March 2023, CCL and another subsidiary of Cheniere submitted an application with the FERC under the 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 (the “Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project”). The development of these sitesthe 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 2021third Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) report, which details ourCheniere’s approach and progress on ESG issues, including Cheniere’s recently announcedits collaboration with natural gas midstream companies, methane detection technology providers and leading academic institutions to implementon life-cycle assessment (“LCA”) models, quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification (“QMRV”) of greenhouse gas 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, transmissionAustin 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.

Overview of Significant Events

Our significant events since January 1, 20222023 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q include the following:
Strategic

In July 2022, CCL entered into a long-term LNG SPA with PTT Global LNG Company Limited (“PTTGL”), under which PTTGL has agreed to purchase 1.0 mtpa 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 0.9 mtpa of LNG on a FOB basis, and extending the term to approximately 20 years, which began in September 2021.

Gains and $1.7 billion, respectively, of non-cash unfavorable changes in fair value attributed to positions indexed to such prices, including the $474 million losslosses on the Transferred IPM Agreements in connection with the Contribution as described above.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. In some cases,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. Because 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, 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.

Table of ContentsCommissioning cargoes

As described in Overview of Significant Events, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into IPM agreements with various counterparties for approximately 105 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.

We expect our net income or loss in the future will be subject to a greater degree of volatility as a result of the Transferred IPM Agreements, which as described in Overview of Significant Events, totaled approximately 65 mtpa, with terms of approximately 15 years commencing with commercial operations of certain Trains of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project.

Total revenues increased by approximately $1.2 billion and $2.3 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the comparable periods in 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of increased revenues per MMBtu due to appreciation in the Henry Hub index. Additionally, there were higher volumes of LNG delivered six months ended June 30, 2022 from the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the additional production capacity of approximately 5 mtpa from Train 3 of the Liquefaction Project, which achieved substantial completion on March 26, 2021 (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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and the three months ended June 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 $89 million and $31 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $105 million and $90 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to these transactions.

Total operating costs and expenses increased $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of increased cost of sales. 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. Substantially all of the increase in both comparable periods was attributed to third party cost of sales, which increased by $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the comparable 2021 periods, respectively, primarily as a result of increased pricing of natural gas feedstock as a result of higher U.S. natural gas prices and increased volume of LNG delivered and unfavorable changes in our commodity derivatives to secure natural gas feedstock for the Liquefaction Project, as discussed in Net income (loss) above.

Operating and maintenance expense (including affiliate and related party) primarily includes costs associated with operating and maintaining the Liquefaction Project. Operating and maintenance expense (including affiliates) also includes third party service and maintenance, insurance, regulatory costs and other operating costs. During the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to a limited number of days during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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