Additionally, unexpected factors could reduce tourism at any time, including local or global economic recessions, terrorism, travel restrictions, pandemics, severe weather or natural disasters. Due to our current lack of asset and geographic diversification, an adverse development at our operating facilities, in the energy industry or in the economic conditions in these geographies, would have a significantly greater impact on our financial condition and operating results than if we maintained more diverse assets and operating areas.costs.

We are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with the Restructuring Transaction, the Restructuring Plans and the RSA.
On March 17, 2026, we entered into a RSA with certain of our key creditors, which contemplates a comprehensive restructuring of our principal funded debt obligations. The Company intends to implement the Restructuring Transaction through UK court-sanctioned Restructuring Plans promoted by two indirect subsidiaries, with recognition sought in the U.S. under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which will bind all lenders and noteholders and release the Company and all guarantors from obligations under the relevant debt instruments. For additional detail on the RSA, the Restructuring Plans and the Restructuring Transaction, see “Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties—Planned Debt Restructuring.”
The successful implementation of the RSA, the Restructuring Plans and the Restructuring Transaction is critical to our ability to continue as a going concern and is subject to numerous conditions, milestones, and approvals, including the consent of various creditor groups, certain stockholder approvals and approval by the UK High Court and U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and regulatory authorities. Failure to satisfy or obtain waivers for these conditions or to meet required milestones could result in the termination of the RSA, loss of creditor support, or inability to consummate the Restructuring Transaction as contemplated. There can be no assurance that the Restructuring Transaction will be completed on the terms described, on the anticipated timeline, or at all. Failure to consummate the Restructuring Transaction could result in the Company being required or compelled to pursue additional restructuring initiatives to preserve value and optionality, including possible out-of-court restructurings, or in-court relief, in the UK or the U.S., which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the value of our securities.
We are subject to additional risks in connection with the Restructuring Transaction, the Restructuring Plans and the RSA, including the following:
•our ability to obtain the UK High Court’s approval of the Restructuring Plans and recognition of the Restructuring Plans in the United States pursuant to chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code;
•our ability to comply with the milestones set forth in the RSA;
•the costs of the Restructuring Transaction and related fees;
•the process of implementing the Restructuring Transaction may divert management’s attention and resources, result in increased costs, and adversely affect our relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders;
•the implementation of the Restructuring Transaction is expected to result in significant dilution to existing holders of our Class A common stock and existing stockholders will exercise even less influence over management than they currently have;
•the value of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile or decline as a result of the Restructuring Transaction;
•potential delisting of our Class A common stock by NASDAQ as a consequence of the Restructuring Transaction;
•our ability to maintain our relationships with our other creditors, employees, customers, vendors, suppliers and other third parties;
•our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations;
•our ability to execute competitive contracts with third parties;
•our ability to attract, motivate, and retain key employees;
•our ability to retain our current management team; and
•the actions and decisions of our stockholders, creditors and other third parties who have interests in the Restructuring Transaction and the RSA that may be inconsistent with our plans.
Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Restructuring Transaction, we may not be able to predict or quantify the ultimate impact the Restructuring Transaction may have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, nor can we accurately predict the ultimate impact the Restructuring Transaction may have on our corporate or capital structure.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to complete certainthe transactionsRestructuring Transaction and delay capital expendituresexpenditures.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report, management has concluded that, our current liquidity and forecasted cash flows from operations are not probable to be sufficient to support, in full, obligations as they become due over the next twelve-month period, and there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Restructuring Transaction is not consummated as contemplated, the Company will be required or compelled to pursue alternative in-court restructuring initiatives to preserve value, which would have a material and adverse impact on stockholders. The process of implementing the Restructuring Transaction and the associated Restructuring Plans is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for sanction by the UK High Court, recognition in the United States under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and approval of several stockholder proposals. See “Risks Related to our Business—We are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with the Restructuring Transaction, the Restructuring Plans and the RSA.” There is no assurance that these approvals will be obtained on the anticipated timeline or at all. The Company and its creditors must also negotiate and finalize definitive documentation, and any failure to reach agreement or to satisfy the process milestones could result in termination of the RSA, after which creditors may pursue enforcement actions that could accelerate the Company’s financial distress. In addition, volatility in financial markets, changes in interest rates, or adverse economic developments could impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital or refinance obligations, even during the restructuring process. The Company must also meet a consolidated minimum liquidity threshold at closing, and if this threshold is not met, it may be required to raise additional capital under tight time constraints, which may not be possible on acceptable terms.
Even if the Restructuring Transaction is completed, the Company will continue to face substantial risks. Its future performance will depend on its ability to execute its revised business plan, which may be subject to operational, regulatory, and market risks, and it may require additional funding in the future to support operations, capital expenditures, or growth initiatives. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. The new debt and equity instruments issued in the restructuring may impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, asset sales, and distributions. The restructuring will result in significant dilution to existing equity holders, and the value of new equity securities may be volatile and subject to further decline. Even if the Restructuring Transaction is completed, substantial risks will remain that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and events of default under the Company’s debt agreements detailed below, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If the RSA is terminated, our ability to consummate the Restructuring Plans may be materially and adversely affected.
The RSA contains a number of termination events, upon the occurrence of which certain parties to the RSA may terminate the agreement. If the RSA is terminated as to all parties thereto, each of the parties will be released from its obligations in accordance with the terms of the RSA. Such termination may result in the loss of support for the Restructuring Plans by the parties to the RSA, which could adversely affect our ability to confirm and consummate the Restructuring Plans. If the Restructuring Plans are not consummated, there can be no assurance that any new plan would be as favorable to holders of claims against the Company as contemplated by the RSA.
Effectiveness of the Restructuring Plans requires the approval of the Restructuring Plan creditors.
Pursuant to Part 26A of the UK Companies Act 2006, in order for the CoreCo Plan to become legally binding on NFE Global and the creditors subject to the CoreCo Plan, either: (a) a majority representing 75% in value of each class of CoreCo Plan creditors present and voting at the meeting ordered to be summoned by the UK High Court votes in favor of the CoreCo Plan; or (b) a majority representing 75% in value of at least one class of CoreCo Plan creditors votes in favor of the CoreCo Plan and the UK High Court is satisfied that: (i) that class would receive a payment and/or have a genuine economic interest in NFE Global in the relevant alternative, and (ii) each dissenting class would be no worse off under the CoreCo Plan than in the relevant alternative; the BrazilCo Plan to become legally binding on NFE Brazil Newco and the creditors subject to the BrazilCo Plan, a majority representing 75% in value of the class of BrazilCo Plan Creditors votes in favor of the BrazilCo Plan, (the “BrazilCo Plan Requisite Approval”). In order for the Restructuring Plans to become effective, the Restructuring Plans must then be sanctioned by an order of the UK High Court, and an official copy of the order must be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales for registration. The Restructuring Plans are conditional upon each other. If the Restructuring Plans become effective (i) the CoreCo Plan creditors will be bound by the terms of the CoreCo Plan, and (ii) the BrazilCo Plan creditors will be bound by the terms of the BrazilCo Plan, in both cases from the effective date of the Restructuring Plans. Although creditors that are party to the RSA are expected to vote in favor of the Restructuring Plans, in the event that the RSA was terminated in accordance with its terms, any Restructuring Plan creditor that was party to the RSA would cease to be bound by its obligation to support the Restructuring Plans. If the BrazilCo Plan Requisite Approval is not obtained, the Restructuring Plans will not become effective and the Restructuring Transaction will not be implemented. Even if the CoreCo Plan creditors approve the CoreCo Plan and the BrazilCo Plan creditors approve the BrazilCo Plan, the Restructuring Plans may be objected to and may not be completed. If the CoreCo Plan is approved at the creditor meetings for the CoreCo Plan and the BrazilCo Plan is approved at the creditor meeting for the BrazilCo Plan, it is possible for a person with an interest in the relevant Restructuring Plans (whether a Restructuring Plan creditor or otherwise) to lodge objections to the relevant Restructuring Plans with the UK High Court, and, if such objections have been lodged, to attend or be represented at the Restructuring Plans sanction hearing to make representations that the relevant Restructuring Plans should not be approved and/or to appeal against the granting of the sanction order. Therefore, there can be no assurance that objections will not be made at or before the sanction hearing, or that an appeal will not be made against the grant of the sanction order and that any such objections or appeal will not delay or possibly prevent the Restructuring Transaction.
Effectiveness of the Restructuring Plans requires the sanction of the UK High Court.
In order for the Restructuring Plans to become effective, they must receive the sanction of the UK High Court. The UK High Court will not sanction the Restructuring Plans unless it is satisfied that the correct procedures have been followed, the proposed arrangements are fair and that there are no other reasons why the Restructuring Plans should not be approved. There can be no assurance that the UK High Court will determine that the Restructuring Plans are fair or that the UK High Court will not conclude that there are other reasons why the Restructuring Plans should not be sanctioned. If the UK High Court does not exercise its discretion to sanction the Restructuring Plans, or sanctions either Restructuring Plans subject to conditions or amendments which: (i) the Company deems unacceptable; or (ii) would have (directly or indirectly) a material adverse effect on the interests of any Restructuring Plan creditor and such conditions or amendments are not approved by the Restructuring Plan creditors, the Restructuring Plans will not become effective and the Restructuring Transaction will not be implemented.
Certain of the Company’s contracts may contain termination clauses which could be triggered by the Restructuring Plans.

Liquidity and going concern
As part of preparing the financial statements included in this Annual Report, we have evaluated whether conditions exist that give rise to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to the events of default under our debt agreements detailed below, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. On March 17, 2026, we entered into the RSA with certain lenders and noteholders under each of these facilities, and upon completion of the transactions contemplated in this agreement, we expect to have a new capital structure and the current debt facilities in default will no longer be outstanding. Existing and potential events of default include missed interest payments under the New 2029 Notes, Term Loan B Credit Agreement, Term Loan A Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement and other Specified Defaults (as defined in the RSA), as described in the RSA, which are subject to forbearance in accordance with the RSA. Additionally, the Company did not make interest and principal payments due in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 on the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes, which will result in events of default under each series of notes if not cured within 30 days.
Restructuring Support Agreement and Restructuring Transaction
In response to the Company’s ongoing liquidity challenges, and the events of default under the Company’s indentures and credit agreement, on March 17, 2026, the Company entered into a RSA with the Supporting Creditors, including a majority of the holders of the New 2029 Notes, a majority of the lenders under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement and a majority of the lenders under the Revolving Facility. The RSA provides a framework for a comprehensive restructuring transaction designed to address the Company’s capital structure and restore financial stability. Under the terms of the RSA, the holders of the New 2029 Notes will receive 100% of the common equity interests of BrazilCo, the parent company of NFE’s Brazil business, in exchange for the retirement of all New 2029 Notes. In addition, the Supporting Creditors will receive one or a combination of the following: senior secured term loans, non-recourse term loans secured by the Company’s Fast LNG assets, shares of a new class of NFE’s preferred stock as well as shares of NFE’s Class A common stock, and shares of FLNG 2 preferred stock. Certain lenders have also agreed to provide the Company with incremental funding in exchange for additional term loans or additional letter of credit facility capacity to support ongoing operations and liquidity needs.
Upon completion of the Restructuring Transaction, NFE expects to divest its Brazil business, including the Barcarena Facility, Barcarena Power Plant, Santa Catarina Facility, and PortoCem Power Plant. The effectuation of the restructuring will result in a significant reduction of the Company’s outstanding debt and annual interest expense, as the debt facilities currently in default will no longer be outstanding. The Company’s future business will be focused on operational efficiency of its remaining facilities and the cost-effective completion of in-process development projects, with the objective of returning to profitability and generating shareholder value. However, the consummation of the Restructuring Transaction is subject to a number of conditions and approvals, some of which are outside the Company’s control, and there can be no assurance that the transactions will be completed as contemplated. If the restructuring is not successfully implemented, the Company may be required to pursue alternative restructuring initiatives, including possible in-court proceedings, which could have a material adverse impact on stakeholders.

We discuss this important goal in more detail in this Annual Report, “Items 1 and 2: Business and Properties” under “Sustainability—Toward a Low Carbon Future.”world.
Our Terminals and Infrastructure segment includes the entire production and delivery chain from natural gas procurement and liquefaction to logistics, shipping, facilities and conversion or development of natural gas-fired power generation. We currently source LNG from long-term supply agreements with third-party suppliers. Our first floating liquefaction unit, which we refer to as "Fast“FLNG LNG" or "FLNG"1”, began producing LNG in July 2024, and, once fully commissioned,and we plan to source a significant portion of our LNG needs from this facility. Currently, demand for LNG above FLNG 1’s capacity is acquired from third party suppliers in open market purchases. Starting in 2027, we expect to meet this demand under long-term supply contracts, which are based on an index such as Henry Hub plus a fixed fee component. The Terminals and Infrastructure segment includes all terminal operations in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil, as well as vessels utilized in our terminal or logistics operations. We centrally manage our LNG supply and the deployment of our vessels utilized in our terminalterminal, logistics or logisticssub-charter operations, which allows us to optimally manage our LNG supply and fleet.
Our Ships segment currently includes certainone vesselsvessel which areis currently chartered under a long-term arrangementsarrangement to a third partiesparty and areis part of the Energos Formation Transaction (defined below). OverVessels time,that have been in our Ships segment transitioned to the Terminals and Infrastructure segment once we expectbegan to utilize thesethe vessels in our own terminal operations as charter agreements for these vessels expire, and these vessels are included in our Terminals and Infrastructure segment.operations.
On May 14, 2025, we completed the sale of our Jamaica business, including operations at the LNG import terminal in Montego Bay, the offshore floating storage and regasification terminal in Old Harbour and the 150 MW Combined Heat and Power Plant in Clarendon, along with the associated infrastructure (the “Jamaica Business”). We received cash proceeds of approximately $961.9 million, with an additional $58.0 million of proceeds held in escrow to be returned to us based on the terms of the sale agreement. The proceeds were partially used to repay all outstanding South Power Bonds of $227.2 million and certain transaction costs.
Our management team has successfully employed our strategy to secure long-term contracts with significant customers, including Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (“JPS”), the sole public utility in Jamaica, South Jamaica Power Company Limited (“SJPC”), an affiliate of JPS, Jamalco, a bauxite mining and alumina producer in Jamaica,including, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), and Comisión Federal de Electricidad (“CFE”), Mexico’s power utility, each of which is described in more detail below. Our assets built to service these significant customers have been designed with capacity to service other customers.
Montego Bay Facility
The Montego Bay Facility serves as our supply hub for the north side of Jamaica, providing natural gas to JPS to fuel the 145MW Bogue power plant in Montego Bay, Jamaica ("Bogue Power Plant"). Our Montego Bay Facility commenced commercial operations in October 2016 and is capable of processing up to 60,000 MMBtu of LNG per day and features approximately 7,000 cubic meters of onsite storage. The Montego Bay Facility also consists of an ISO loading facility that can transport LNG to numerous on-island industrial users.
Old Harbour Facility
The Old Harbour Facility is an offshore facility consisting of an FSRU that is capable of processing up to 750,000 MMBtus of LNG per day. The Old Harbour Facility commenced commercial operations in June 2019 and supplies natural gas to the 190MW Old Harbour power plant (“Old Harbour Power Plant”) operated by SJPC. The Old Harbour Facility is also supplying natural gas to our dual-fired combined heat and power facility in Clarendon, Jamaica (“CHP Plant”). The CHP Plant supplies electricity to JPS under a long-term agreement. The CHP Plant also provides steam to Jamalco under a long-term take-or-pay agreement. The Old Harbour Facility also supplies gas directly to Jamalco to utilize in their gas-fired boilers.
Our San Juan Facility became fully operational in the third quarter of 2020. It is designed as a landed micro-fuel handling facility located in the Port of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The San Juan Facility has multiple truck loading bays to provide LNG to on-island industrial users. The San Juan Facility is near the PREPA San Juan Power Plant and serves as our supply hub for the PREPA San Juan Power Plant,Plant and industrial end-user customers in Puerto Rico, and after being awarded a new gas sale agreement in the first quarter of 2024, PREPA's gas-fired power plants throughout the island of Puerto Rico.
In 2023, we entered into agreements for the installation and operation of approximately 350MW350 MW of additional power to be generated at the Palo Seco Power Plant and San Juan Power Plant in Puerto Rico as well as the supply of natural gas. Our customer was contracted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to support the island’s grid stabilization project with additional power capacity to enable maintenance and repair work on Puerto Rico’s power system and grid. We commissioned 350MW350 MW of duel-fuel power generation using our gas supply in less than 180 days. In March 2024, our contract to provide emergency power services to support the grid stabilization project was terminated, and we completed a series of transactions that included the sale of turbines and related equipment deployed to support the grid stabilization project to PREPA. In December 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which the Company will receive a total of $142.0 million as equitable adjustment related to the early termination of our contract to provide emergency power services. We expect to receive the balance in the first half of 2026.
In December 2025, we were awarded a new 7-year gas supply agreement with PREPA to deliver up to 75 TBtu of natural gas annually from our San Juan Facility. The new contract establishes security of supply in San Juan for power plants currently running on natural gas and also provides for incremental natural gas volumes to be delivered, allowing for the conversion of additional gas-ready plants currently burning diesel. We do not expect to have to incur significant capital expenditures to be able to supply these additional locations.
In March 2024, our contract to provide emergency power services to support the grid stabilization project was terminated, and we completed a series of transactions that included the sale of turbines and related equipment deployed to support the grid stabilization project to PREPA. We were also awarded a new gas sale agreement with PREPA to supply up to 80 TBtu annually to PREPA's gas-fired power plants, including to the turbines that were sold to PREPA. The contract initially has a one year term that is renewable annually for three additional annual periods.
We are pursuing a $659 million request for equitable adjustment related to the early termination of our contract to provide emergency power services. The actual amount of any such adjustment and the timing of any related payments may be materially different than management’s current estimate. As a result, the Company cannot offer any assurance as to the actual amount that may be recovered pursuant to such request or subsequent claim, if any.
In the first quarter of 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Genera PR LLC ("“Genera"”), was awarded a 10-Year10-year contract for the operation and maintenance of PREPA’s thermal generation assets with the goal of reducing costs and improving reliability of power generation in Puerto Rico. We receive an annual management fee and are eligible for performance-based incentive fees. The service period under the contract commenced on July 1, 2023.2023, and we receive an annual management fee for the services provided.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we began commercial operations at the Port of Pichilingue in Baja California Sur, Mexico (the “La Paz Facility”). The La Paz Facility also supplies our gas-fired power units located adjacent to the La Paz Facility (the “La Paz Power Plant”) and could have a maximum capacity of up to 135MW135 MW of power. We placed the La Paz Power Plant into service in the third quarter of 2023.
In the third quarter of 2024, we executed an amendment to the gas sales agreement to multiple CFE power generation facilities in Baja California Sur on a take-or-pay basis that extended the term to ten years from November 3, 2024, and amended the annual minimum volumes.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we finalized short-form agreements with CFE to expand and extend our supply of natural gas to multiple CFE power generation facilities in Baja California Sur and to sell the La Paz Power Plant to CFE. In the third quarter of 2024, we executed a 10-year gas sales agreement to supply natural gas to additional CFE facilities on take-or-pay basis.
We placed our Santa Catarina Facility in service in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Santa Catarina Facility is located on the southern coast of Brazil and consists of an FSRU with a processing capacity of approximately 500,000 MMBtu from LNG per day and LNG storage capacity of up to 138,000 cubic meters.Brazil. We have developed and constructed a 33-kilometer, 20-inch pipeline that connects the Santa Catarina Facility to the existing inland Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolivia-Brasil S.A. (“TBG”) pipeline via an interconnection point in the municipality of Garuva. The Santa Catarina Facility and associated pipeline are expected to have a total addressable market of 15 million cubic meters per day of natural gas. In March 2026, the Company entered into a term sheet to lease its Santa Catarina Facility to a third party that is expected to commence in August 2026.
In August 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Usina Termeletrica de Lins S.A. ("“Lins"”), which owns key rights and permits to develop a natural gas-fired power plant for up to 2.05GW located in the State of SaoSão Paulo, within the city limits of Lins. WeThe expectSanta toCatarina participateFacility inwill upcomingsupply powernatural auctions in Brazil scheduled for June 2025, andgas to the extentLins thatpower weproject, areand successfulis expected to commence operations in these auctions, we expect to develop a gas-fired power plant using natural gas from the Santa Catarina Facility.2031.
Upon effectuation of the Restructuring Transaction, we expect to no longer own BrazilCo, including the Santa Catarina Facility.
FLNG 1
Our first Fast LNG unit (“FLNG 1”) has been deployed off the coast of Altamira, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The 1.4 million ton per annum (“MTPA”) FLNG unit utilizes CFE’s firm pipeline transportation capacity on the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan Pipeline to receive feedgas volumes. This first FLNG unit has been fully commissioned, and we are in the process of increasing available liquefaction capacity through optimization projects.
Miami Facility
Our Miami Facility began operations in April 2016. This facility has liquefaction capacity of approximately 8,300 MMBtu of LNG per day and enables us to produce LNG for sales directly to industrial end-users in southern Florida, including Florida East Coast Railway via our train loading facility, and other customers throughout the Caribbean using ISO containers. On June 30, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Miami Facility for $62 million. The transaction closed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
NFE provides reliable, affordable and clean energy supplies to customers around the world, and we currently satisfy customer demand with production from FLNG 1, which we expect to generate up to 70 TBtus annually. We have binding contracts for LNG volumes from two separate U.S. LNG facilities, each with a 20-year term, which are expected to commence in 2027 and 2029. Additional LNG needed to supply expansion of our operations in Puerto Rico and/or our Nicaragua Power Plant will be provided by open market purchases until the commencement of these LNG supply contracts.
NFE provides reliable, affordable and clean energy supplies to customers around the world that we plan to satisfy through the following sources: 1) our current contractual supply commitments; 2) our own FLNG production; and 3) additional LNG supply contracts expected to commence in 2027. Our first FLNG facility began to produce LNG in July 2024, and we expect to generate up to 70 TBtus annually from this facility. When expected production from FLNG is combined with our commitments to purchase and receive physical delivery of LNG volumes, we expect to have sufficient supply for 100% of our committed volumes for each of our downstream terminals inclusive of our Montego Bay Facility, Old Harbour Facility, San Juan Facility, La Paz Facility, Barcarena Facility and Santa Catarina Facility. Additionally, we have binding contracts for LNG volumes from two separate U.S. LNG facilities, each with a 20-year term, which are expected to commence in 2027 and 2029.
Geopolitical events have substantially impacted and may continue to impact the natural gas and LNG markets, which have experienced significant volatility in recent years. The majority of our LNG supply contracts are based on a natural gas-based index, Henry Hub, plus a contractual spread. We limit our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices as ourOur pricing in contracts with customers is largely based on the Henry Hub index price plus a fixed fee component. Additionally,Pricing withfor ourfeed gas purchased for own Fast LNG production,production weis planbased on Henry Hub, which allows us to further mitigate our exposure to variability in LNG prices,prices. andOur long-term supply contracts also contain pricing based on Henry Hub, however, until the commencement of these long-term supply contracts, a portion of our long-termLNG strategyneeds iswill be purchased on the open market which exposures us to sellvolatility substantiallyin allLNG cargos produced to customers on a long-term, take-or-pay basis through our downstream terminals.pricing.
In November 2025, we completed a transaction with Energos, pursuant to which the Company early terminated the long-term charter agreements with Energos for Energos Eskimo, Energos Winter, Energos Igloo and Energos Freeze and novated associated sub-charter agreements for these vessels to Energos, in exchange for cash consideration of $150.0 million. This transaction resulted in the sale of these vessels that were previously accounted for as a failed sale leaseback. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company derecognized these vessels with a net book value of $667.0 million from Property, plant and equipment, derecognized debt of $734.2 million, and recognized a gain of $217.1 million. The Company will also no longer recognize charter revenues and vessel operating expenses associated with these vessels.
Our projects currently under development include our development of a series ofsecond modular liquefaction facilitiesfacility to provide a source of low-cost supply of LNG to customers around the world through our Fast LNG technologies; our LNG terminal (“Barcarena Facility”) and power plants located in Pará, Brazil; our LNG terminal facility and power plant in Puerto Sandino, Nicaragua (“Puerto Sandino Facility”); and our LNG terminal (“Ireland Facility”) and power plant in Ireland, our first green hydrogen projectIreland ("ZeroPark“Ireland I") and Klondike Digital Infrastructure, our newly-launched power and data center infrastructure business ("Klondike"Facility”).

Following the completion of the Restructuring Transaction, we do not plan to incur significant capital expenditures to develop our second 1.4 MTPA Fast LNG unit (“FLNG 2”). We are in active discussions with third parties to co-develop FLNG 2, which is expected to take approximately 24 months to complete from the time our partner is engaged. Estimated cost to complete is uncertain and is dependent upon final design and engineering, but we currently expect the remaining cost to be between $750.0 million and $1,500.0 million.
The Barcarena Facility consists of an FSRU and associated infrastructure, including mooring and offshore and onshore pipelines. The Barcarena Facility is capable of delivering almost 600,000 MMBtu from LNG per day and storing up to 160,000 cubic meters of LNG. We have entered into a 15-year gas supply agreement with a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro ASA for the supply of natural gas to the Alunorte Alumina Refinery in Pará, Brazil, through our Barcarena Facility. We have substantially completed our Barcarena Facility and are in process of final commissioning.
The Barcarena Facility will also supply our new 630 MW combined cycle natural gas-fired power plant located in Pará, Brazil (the “Barcarena Power Plant”). The power plant is fully contracted under multiple 25-year power purchase agreements to supply electricity to the national electricity grid. We expect to place the Barcarena Power Plant into service in the first half of 2026.
In March 2024, we closed the acquisition of PortoCem Geração de Energia S.A. (“PortoCem”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ceiba Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia- Investimento no Exterior (“Ceiba Energy”). PortoCem is the owner of a 15-year 1.6 GW capacity reserve contract in Brazil. We have transferred the 1.6 GW capacity reserve contract to a site owned by NFE that is adjacent to the Barcarena Facility, where NFE is building the 1.6 GW simple cycle, natural gas-fired power plant (“PortoCem Power Plant”) to supply the capacity reserve contract using gas from the Barcarena Facility. We expect the PortoCem Power Plant to be completed in 2026.
Upon effectuation of the Restructuring Transaction, we expect to no longer own BrazilCo, including the Barcarena Facility, Barcarena Power Plant and PortoCem Power Plant.
We are currently developing multiple modular liquefaction facilities to provide a source of low-cost supply of LNG to customers around the world. We have designed and are constructing liquefaction facilities for our growing customer base that we believe are both faster and more economical to construct than many traditional liquefaction solutions. Our first “Fast LNG,” or “FLNG,” design pairs advancements in modular, midsize liquefaction technology with jack up rigs, semi-submersible rigs or similar marine floating infrastructure to enable a lower cost and faster deployment schedule than other greenfield alternatives. Semi-permanently moored FSUs will provide LNG storage alongside the floating liquefaction infrastructure, which can be deployed anywhere there is abundant and stranded natural gas. As noted below, we are also in discussions with CFE to utilize our FLNG design in an onshore application.
Fast LNG is anchored by key benefits over conventional liquefaction projects. In particular, we believe installing modular equipment in a shipyard will meaningfully expedite timelines. In addition, placing solutions offshore provides greater access to natural gas and optimized marine logistics.
We describe our operational and planned FLNG projects below.
Altamira
Our first Fast LNG unit has been deployed off the coast of Altamira, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The 1.4 million ton per annum (“MTPA”) FLNG unit utilizes CFE’s firm pipeline transportation capacity on the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan Pipeline to receive feedgas volumes. Our first FLNG unit has been installed and connected to the gas pipeline at Altamira, and we are in the process of finalizing commissioning the project. While we experienced delays in commissioning our first FLNG unit, which impacted our results of operations in 2024 and may impact our results in future periods, in July 2024, we began to produce LNG. We have placed this asset into service from an accounting perspective in the fourth quarter of 2024, and we expect to achieve run-rate production in 2025.
We expect to deploy up to two 1.4MTPA additional FLNG units onshore at the existing Altamira LNG import facility. The terminal would source also feedgas from the CFE from the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan Pipeline. The Altamira onshore LNG facility is a world class import facility that will be converted to export LNG similar to other gulf coast regasification terminals. Existing infrastructure at the facility includes two 150,000m3 storage tanks, deepwater marine berth and access to local gas and power networks.
Louisiana
In addition, we are considering a plan to install up to two FLNG units approximately 16 nautical miles off the southeast coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana. We have filed applications with the U.S. Maritime Administration ("MARAD") and the U.S. Coast Guard to obtain our deepwater port license application for this facility. The facility will be capable of exporting up to approximately 145 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year, equivalent to approximately 2.8 MTPA of LNG.
Lakach
We have been in discussions with Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”) to form a long-term strategic partnership to develop the Lakach deepwater natural gas field for Pemex to supply natural gas to Mexico's onshore domestic market and for NFE to produce LNG for export to global markets. Our initial agreements were terminated in the fourth quarter of 2023, however, NFE continues to be in active discussions with Pemex to develop or monetize an offshore project.
We are developing aan offshore liquefied natural gas receiving, transloading and regasification facility in Puerto Sandino, Nicaragua, as well as a pipeline connecting the facility with our Puerto Sandino Power Plant. We have entered into a 25-year PPA with Nicaragua’s electricity distribution companies, and we expect to utilize approximately 57,000 MMBtu from LNG per day to provide natural gas to the Puerto Sandino Power Plant in connection with the 25-year power purchase agreement. Construction of the terminal and power plant is substantially complete;complete, however,and we willexpect determineto timingcomplete the construction of finalthe commissioningterminal and commencementcommission under our PPA based onboth the mostterminal optimaland usethe ofpower ourplant LNGduring supply chain.2026. As part of our long-term strategy, we are also evaluating solutions to optimize power generation and delivery to other markets, connected to our power plant through a regional transmission line.
The Barcarena Facility consists of an FSRU and associated infrastructure, including mooring and offshore and onshore pipelines. The Barcarena Facility is capable of delivering almost 600,000 MMBtu from LNG per day and storing up to 160,000 cubic meters of LNG. We have entered into a 15-year gas supply agreement with a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro ASA for the supply of natural gas to the Alunorte Alumina Refinery in Pará, Brazil, through our Barcarena Facility.
The Barcarena Facility will also supply our new 630MW combined cycle natural gas-fired power plant to be located in Pará, Brazil (the “Barcarena Power Plant”). The power plant is fully contracted under multiple 25-year power purchase agreements to supply electricity to the national electricity grid. We expect to complete the Barcarena Power Plant in 2025.
In March 2024, we closed the acquisition of PortoCem Geração de Energia S.A. ("PortoCem"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ceiba Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia- Investimento no Exterior ("Ceiba Energy") in exchange for newly issued 4.8% NFE redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. PortoCem is the owner of a 15-year 1.6GW capacity reserve contract in Brazil. We have transferred the 1.6 GW capacity reserve contract to a site owned by NFE that is adjacent to the Barcarena Facility, where NFE is building the 1.6 GW simple cycle, natural gas-fired power plant ("PortoCem Power Plant") to supply the capacity reserve contract using gas from the Barcarena Facility. We expect the PortoCem Power Plant to be completed in 2026.
We intend to develop and operate an LNG facility and power plant on the Shannon Estuary, near Tarbert, Ireland. In April 2023, we were awarded a capacity contract for the development of a power plant for approximately 353 MW of electricity generation with a duration of ten years as part of the auction process operated by Ireland’s Transmission System Operator. The power plant is required to be operational by October 2026.
In the third quarter of 2023, An Bord Pleanála ("“ABP"”), Ireland'sIreland’s planning commission, denied our application for the development of an LNG terminal and power plant. We challenged this decision, and in September 2024, the High Court of Ireland ruled that ABP did not have appropriate grounds for the denial of our permit. In November,March 2025, ABP soughtwithdrew leavetheir appeal to appeal the HighSeptember Court's2024 decision,decision of the High Court hasof notIreland. yet heard the request to leave appeal. If the leaveABP is notnow granted, ABP will be directed to reconsiderreconsidering our permitplanning application onin accordance with Irish Law. The continued development of this project is uncertain and there are multiple risks, including regulatory risks, that could preclude the development of this project, and the results of these risks could have a material effect on our results of operations.
Further, in March 2025, ABP granted our application to construct a 600 MW power plant and a separate application to construct the 220 kV electricity interconnect. We are able to fuel this power plant via our LNG marine import terminal, if approved, or using gas provided from our permitted pipeline interconnection. The continued development of this project is uncertain and there are multiple risks, including regulatory risks, which could preclude the development of this project; however, management continues to assess all options in respect of future developments for the land held.

Even if the Restructuring Transaction is completed, the Company will continue to face substantial risks. Its future performance will depend on its ability to execute its revised business plan, which may be subject to operational, regulatory, and market risks, and it may require additional funding in the future to support operations, capital expenditures, or growth initiatives. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. The new debt and equity instruments issued in the restructuring mayis expected to impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, asset sales, and distributions. The restructuring will result in significant dilution to existing equity holders, and the value of new equity securities may be volatile and subject to further decline. In addition to the Restructuring Transaction and the separation of BrazilCo, the Company continues to actively consider and evaluate further opportunistic strategies that seek to optimize the value of CoreCo’s portfolio, while providing additional liquidity and cash flow to the remaining CoreCo business. These strategies may include the sale of certain CoreCo assets, capital raising transactions or other strategic transactions. However, there are inherent uncertainties regarding the ability of CoreCo to effect any such transactions, and substantial risks relating to the ability of CoreCo to realize the anticipated benefits of pursuing one or more of these strategies. As such, even if the Restructuring Transaction is completed, substantial risks will remain that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and events of default under the Company’s debt agreements, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Effectiveness of the Restructuring Plans requires the approval of the Restructuring Plan creditors.
Pursuant to Part 26A of the UK Companies Act 2006, in order for the CoreCo Plan to become legally binding on NFE Global and the creditors subject to the CoreCo Plan, either: (a) a majority representing 75% in value of each class of CoreCo Plan creditors present and voting at the meeting ordered to be summoned by the UK High Court votes in favor of the CoreCo Plan; or (b) a majority representing 75% in value of at least one class of CoreCo Plan creditors votes in favor of the CoreCo Plan and the UK High Court is satisfied that: (i) that class would receive a payment and/or have a genuine economic interest in NFE Global in the relevant alternative, and (ii) each dissenting class would be no worse off under the CoreCo Plan than in the relevant alternative; the BrazilCo Plan to become legally binding on NFE Brazil Newco and the creditors subject to the BrazilCo Plan, a majority representing 75% in value of the class of BrazilCo Plan Creditors votes in favor of the BrazilCo Plan, (the “BrazilCo Plan Requisite Approval”). In order for the Restructuring Plans to become effective, the Restructuring Plans must then be sanctioned by an order of the UK High Court, and an official copy of the order must be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales for registration. The Restructuring Plans are conditional upon each other. If the Restructuring Plans become effective (i) the CoreCo Plan creditors will be bound by the terms of the CoreCo Plan, and (ii) the BrazilCo Plan creditors will be bound by the terms of the BrazilCo Plan, in both cases from the effective date of the Restructuring Plans. Although creditors that are party to the RSA are expected to vote in favor of the Restructuring Plans, in the event that the RSA was terminated in accordance with its terms, any Restructuring Plan creditor that was party to the RSA would cease to be bound by its obligation to support the Restructuring Plans. If the BrazilCo Plan Requisite Approval is not obtained, the Restructuring Plans will not become effective and the Restructuring Transaction will not be implemented. Even if the CoreCo Plan creditors approve the CoreCo Plan and the BrazilCo Plan creditors approve the BrazilCo Plan, the Restructuring Plans may be objected to and may not be completed. If the CoreCo Plan is approved at the creditor meetings for the CoreCo Plan and the BrazilCo Plan is approved at the creditor meeting for the BrazilCo Plan, it is possible for a person with an interest in the relevant Restructuring Plans (whether a Restructuring Plan creditor or otherwise) to lodge objections to the relevant Restructuring Plans with the UK High Court, and, if such objections have been lodged, to attend or be represented at the Restructuring Plans sanction hearing to make representations that the relevant Restructuring Plans should not be approved and/or to appeal against the granting of the sanction order. Therefore, there can be no assurance that objections will not be made at or before the sanction hearing, or that an appeal will not be made against the grant of the sanction order and that any such objections or appeal will not delay or possibly prevent the Restructuring Transaction.
Effectiveness of the Restructuring Plans requires the sanction of the UK High Court.
In order for the Restructuring Plans to become effective, they must receive the sanction of the UK High Court. The UK High Court will not sanction the Restructuring Plans unless it is satisfied that the correct procedures have been followed, the proposed arrangements are fair and that there are no other reasons why the Restructuring Plans should not be approved. There can be no assurance that the UK High Court will determine that the Restructuring Plans are fair or that the UK High Court will not conclude that there are other reasons why the Restructuring Plans should not be sanctioned. If the UK High Court does not exercise its discretion to sanction the Restructuring Plans, or sanctions either Restructuring Plans subject to conditions or amendments which: (i) the Company deems unacceptable; or (ii) would have (directly or indirectly) a material adverse effect on the interests of any Restructuring Plan creditor and such conditions or amendments are not approved by the Restructuring Plan creditors, the Restructuring Plans will not become effective and the Restructuring Transaction will not be implemented.
The Restructuring Plans may not be recognized or enforced in the United States or Mexico.
It is contemplated that the PlanCos will seek recognition of the Restructuring Plans under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, there is a possibility that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court will not recognize the Restructuring Plans under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the view expressed in the foreign expert opinion obtained by the PlanCos, if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court declines to issue the U.S. Chapter 15 recognition order, the Restructuring Plans may not be recognized or be enforceable against a Restructuring Plan creditor in the United States. In these circumstances, the Restructuring Plan creditors would not be prevented from trying to enforce their rights in the applicable courts, as they otherwise would be if the U.S. Chapter 15 recognition order were granted. The PlanCos intend to obtain a foreign expert opinion that the Restructuring Plans will be recognized in Mexico. Notwithstanding the view expressed in the foreign expert opinion, the Restructuring Plans may not be recognized or be enforceable against a Restructuring Plan creditor in Mexico. In these circumstances, the Restructuring Plan creditors would not be prevented from trying to enforce their rights in the applicable courts.
As part of the Restructuring Transaction contemplated by the RSA, certain existing lenders and noteholders will receive a substantial number of shares of newly-issued CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock and Class A common stock.
As part of the Restructuring Transaction contemplated by the RSA, certain existing lenders and noteholders will receive a substantial number of shares of newly-issued CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock and Class A common stock. The Company will issue to these lenders and noteholders CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock that is mandatorily convertible after three years into a number of shares of Class A common stock representing 87% of the fully-diluted Class A common stock outstanding as of the closing of the Restructuring Transaction (after giving effect to the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be issued on the closing date of the Restructuring Transaction and shares authorized under the Incentive Plan), and holders of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the Class A common stock during the first three years. Additionally, the Company will issue to certain existing lenders and noteholders shares of Class A common stock representing 65% of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the closing date of the Restructuring Transaction (before giving effect to shares authorized under the Incentive Plan or any conversion of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock into the Company’s Class A common stock). If approved, the number of shares reserved under the Incentive Plan would represent approximately 10% of the Class A common stock outstanding as of the closing date of the Restructuring Transaction (before giving effect to any conversion of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock). These parties may (subject to any contractual limitations, if applicable) seek to sell their shares. Other stockholders may also seek to sell shares held by them following, or in anticipation of, the completion of the Restructuring Transaction. Sales of substantial amounts of Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, coupled with the increase in the outstanding number of shares of Class A common stock relative to shares outstanding as of the date of this AnnualQuarterly Report, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including material weaknesses identified as part of the restatement of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the interim periods in the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Failure to remediate the material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that we identify in the future, or if we otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and impact our ability to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the trading price of our common stock may decline.
The Company has identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including material weaknesses identified as part of the restatement of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the interim periods in the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For further discussion of the material weaknesses, see Item 4, Controls and Procedures.
Our operations are, and will be, dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in the markets in which we operate. In the United States, due mainly to a historic abundant supply of natural gas and discoveries of substantial quantities of unconventional or shale natural gas, imported LNG has not developed into a significant energy source. The success of the domestic liquefaction component of our business plan is dependent, in part, on the extent to which natural gas can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced in the United States at a lower cost than the cost to produce some domestic supplies of other alternative energy sources, and that it can be transported at reasonable rates through appropriately scaled infrastructure. LNG prices have increased materially in the past, including in August 2021 through the end of 2022, and global events, such as Russia’s invasion of UkraineUkraine, the conflict in the Middle East and global inflationary pressures, have generated further energy pricing volatility, which have had and may in the future have an adverse effect on market pricing of LNG and global demand for our products, as well as our ability to remain competitive in the markets in which we operate. Potential expansion in the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of the world where we may operate is primarily dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in those geographical locations. For example, in the Caribbean, due mainly to a lack of regasification infrastructure and an underdeveloped international market for natural gas, natural gas has not yet developed into a significant energy source. In Brazil, hydroelectric power generation is the predominant source of electricity and LNG is one of several other energy sources used to supplement hydroelectric generation. The success of our operations is dependent, in part, on the extent to which LNG can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced internationally and delivered to our customers at a lower cost than the cost to deliver other alternative energy sources.
The design, construction and operation of our infrastructure, facilities and businesses, including our FSRUs, FLNG units and LNG carriers, the import and export of LNG, exploration and development activities, and the transportation of natural gas, among others, are highly regulated activities at the national, state and local levels and are subject to various approvals and permits. The process to obtain the permits, approvals and authorizations we need to conduct our business, and the interpretations of those rules, is complex, time-consuming, challenging and varies in each jurisdiction in which we operate. We may be unable to obtain such approvals on terms that are satisfactory for our operations and on a timeline that meets our commercial obligations. Many of these permits, approvals and authorizations require public notice and comment before they can be issued, which can lead to delays to respond to such comments, and even potentially to revise the permit application. Jurisdiction-specific employment, labor, and subcontracting laws may also affect contracting strategies and impact construction and operations. We may also be (and have been in select circumstances) subject to local opposition, including citizens groups or non-governmental organizations such as environmental groups, which may create delays and challenges in our permitting process and may attract negative publicity, which may create an adverse impact on our reputation. In addition, such rules change frequently and are often subject to discretionary interpretations, including administrative and judicial challenges by regulators, all of which may make compliance more difficult and may increase the length of time it takes to receive regulatory approval for our operations, particularly in countries where we operate, such as Mexico and Brazil. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain approval of all applications or receive the required permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies related to our projects with favorable terms on a timely basis or at all. We cannot make any assurance as to if or when we will receive these permits, which are needed prior to commencing certain construction activities related to our projects. Any administrative and judicial challenges to our permits can delay and protract the process for obtaining and implementing permits and can also add significant costs and uncertainty. We cannot control the outcome of any review or approval process, including whether or when any such permits and authorizations will be obtained, the terms of their issuance, or possible appeals or other potential interventions by third parties that could interfere with our ability to obtain and maintain such permits and authorizations or the terms thereof. Furthermore, we are developing new technologies and operate in jurisdictions that may lack mature legal and regulatory systems and may experience legal instability, which may be subject to regulatory and legal challenges, instability or clarity of application of laws, rules and regulations to our business and new technology, which can result in difficulties and instability in obtaining or securing required permits or authorizations. In addition, our LNG transportation activities are subject to broad array of regulations, and our operations are dependent upon obtaining and maintaining required permits and authorizations. For example, the United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) regulates the navigable waterways through which vessels we own, lease or direct must traverse to supply LNG in Puerto Rico. Our business in Puerto Rico must comply with all applicable Coast Guard regulations. If we are incorrect in our interpretation of applicable requirements, of if there is a change in the interpretation or application of those requirements, the Coast Guard could determine that we have not complied with applicable requirements, which could lead to fines or restrictions on our operations. For example, on September 26, 2024, we received a letter from the Coast Guard alleging that some aspects of our vessel operations may not comply with all applicable requirements. On October 21, 2024, we filed an appeal with USCG under 33 CFR 160.7. However, in December 2024 and February 2025, we submitted an updated Letter of Intent and Waterway Suitability Assessments detailing our alternative operational plans to the USCG. In concert with our collaboration with the USCG regarding our new operational plans, we withdrew our appeal on February 14, 2025. On January 12, 2026, the Acting Captain of the Port of San Juan for the USCG issued a LOR in response to NFE’s filings. The LOR determined that the Port of San Juan waterway is suitable for the transit and docking of larger LNG Carriers.
Our results of operations for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, include our San Juan Facility, La Paz Facility and certain industrial end-users, and exclude developments in our Puerto Sandino Facility, Barcarena Facility,Terminal, Santa Catarina Facility and Ireland Facility. Mexico and Puerto Rico have historically experienced economic volatility and the general condition and performance of their economies, over which we have no control, may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Mexico and Puerto Rico are subject to acts of terrorism or sabotage and natural disasters, in particular hurricanes, extreme weather conditions, crime and similar other risks which may negatively impact our operations in the region. See “—Risks Related to the Jurisdictions in Which We Operate—We are subject to the economic, political, social and other conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate.” We may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls. For instance, there continues to be significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations, sanctions, tariffs, and application thereof. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs intended to address trade deficits and inconsistent economic treatment of importation between the United States and other countries. In response, China, among others, has announced retaliatory tariffs against certain imports from the United States. Although we are continuing to evaluate the impact of these evolving developments, we cannot provide any assurance about the ultimate outcome or impact of these developments or other changes in trade policies, including the imposition, application or enforceability of tariffs between the United States and other countries. Furthermore, changes to trade policies, retaliatory measures, the ability to obtain refunds for previously paid tariffs that have subsequently been invalidated or prolonged uncertainty in trade relationships may negatively impact our operations and financial results, including through resulting supply chain disruptions, increased economic nationalism, negative macroeconomic conditions and increased operational complexity and costs.
Recent and ongoingOngoing geopolitical tensions and conflicts in key oil- and gas-producing regions, including Iran, Venezuela, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, have created significant uncertainty and volatility in global energy markets. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by developments in these regions, including but not limited to: military conflicts, sanctions, retaliatory measures, disruptions to energy infrastructure, and changes in global supply and demand dynamics for LNG and related commodities.
We analyze and seek to implement innovative and new technologies that complement our businesses to reduce our costs, achieve efficiencies for our business and our customers and advance our long-term goals, such as our ISO container distribution system, our Fast LNG solution and our green hydrogen project. The success of our current operations and future projects will depend in part on our ability to create and maintain a competitive position in the natural gas liquefaction industry. We have developed our Fast LNG strategy to procure and deliver LNG to our customers more quickly and cost-effectively than traditional LNG procurement and delivery strategies used by other market participants. See “—Our Fast LNG technology a new strategy and may encounter unforeseen or unknown operational risks.” We continue to develop our ISO container distribution systems in the various markets where we operate. We expect to make additional investments in this field in the future. Because these technologies are innovative, we may be making investments in unproven business strategies and technologies with which we have limited or no prior development or operating experience. As an investor in these technologies, it is also possible that we could be exposed to claims and liabilities, expenses, regulatory challenges and other risks. We may not be able to successfully develop these technologies, and even if we succeed, we may ultimately not be able to realize the time, revenues and cost savings we currently expect to achieve from these strategies, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Our Fast LNG technology is a new strategy and may encounter unforeseen or unknown operational risks.
We have developed our Fast LNG strategy to procure and deliver LNG to our customers more quickly and cost-effectively than traditional LNG procurement and delivery strategies used by other market participants. Our ability to create and maintain a competitive position in the natural gas liquefaction industry may be adversely affected by unforeseen and unknown operational risks. We have commenced operations at our first Fast LNG facility. We are exploring opportunities to sell and complete development of our second FLNG facility and are therefore subject to construction risks, risks associated with third-party contracting (including the risk that we will not be able to execute contracts with third parties that are necessary to develop the project) and service providers, permitting and regulatory risks. See “—We are subject to various construction risks” and “—We depend on third-party contractors, operators and suppliers.” Because our Fast LNG technology is a new strategy, weWe are also exposed to unknown and unforeseen risks associated with the development of new technologies, including failure to meet design, engineering, or performance specifications, incompatibility of systems, inability to contract or employ third parties with sufficient experience in technologies used or inability by contractors to perform their work, delays and schedule changes, high costs and expenses that may be subject to increase or difficult to anticipate, regulatory and legal challenges, instability or clarity of application of laws, rules and regulations to the technology, and added difficulties in obtaining or securing required permits or authorizations, among others. For example, in April 2024, we experienced an incident involving equipment failure during the commissioning of our Fast LNG project in Altamira, Mexico, which delayed our commencement of operations and resulted in increased costs and delay of commencement of revenue generating activity. See “—Failure to obtain and maintain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies and third parties on favorable terms could impede operations and construction.” The success and profitability of our Fast LNG technology is also dependent on the volatility of the price of natural gas and LNG compared to the related levels of capital spending required to implement the technology. Natural gas and LNG prices have at various times been and may become volatile due to one or more factors. Volatility or weakness in natural gas or LNG prices could render our LNG procured through Fast LNG too expensive for our customers, and we may not be able to obtain our anticipated return on our investment or make our technology profitable. In addition, we may seek to construct and develop liquefaction units as part of our Fast LNG in jurisdictions which could potentially expose us to increased political, economic, social and legal instability, a lack of regulatory clarity of application of laws, rules and regulations to our technology, or additional jurisdictional risks related to currency exchange, tariffs and other taxes, changes in laws, civil unrest, and similar risks. See “—Risks Related to the Jurisdictions in Which We Operate—We are subject to the economic, political, social and other conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate.” Furthermore, as part of our business strategy for Fast LNG, we may enter into tolling agreements with third parties, including in developing countries, and these counterparties may have greater credit risk than typical. Therefore, we may be exposed to greater customer credit risk than other companies in the industry. Our credit procedures and policies may be inadequate to sufficiently eliminate risks of nonpayment and nonperformance. We may not be able to continue to successfully develop, construct and implement our Fast LNG projects, and even if we succeed in continuing to develop and construct the technology, we may ultimately not be able to realize the cost savings and revenues we currently expect to achieve them, which could result in a material adverse effect upon our operations and business.
On an ongoing basis, we engage with lenders and other financial institutions in an effort to improve our liquidity and capital resources. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $8.3 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding on a consolidated basis (which does not include any unconsolidated debt). The terms and conditions of our indebtedness, including the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2029 Notes Indenture, the New 2029 Notes Indenture, our existing credit agreements and certain intercompany credit agreements and existing credit agreements, include restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to operate our business, to incur or refinance our debt, pay dividends or make distributions or make certain other restricted payments, create liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, engage in certain transactions, and require us to maintain certain financial ratios, among others, any of which may limit our ability to finance future operations and capital needs, react to changes in our business and in the economy generally, and to pursue business opportunities and activities. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Long Term Debt” for further discussion of our existing credit agreements.
Amendments and forbearances in connection with our Revolving Credit Agreement, Letter of Credit Agreement, Term Loan B Credit Agreement, Term Loan A Credit Agreement, the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2029 Notes Indenture, the New 2029 Notes Indenture (defined below) and certain intercompany credit agreements have terms and conditions that impose additional restrictive covenants that further limit our ability to operate our business, to incur or refinance our debt, pay dividends or make distributions or make certain other restricted payments, create liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets, sell or otherwise dispose of assets or engage in certain transactions.
The Company did not make certain interest and principal payments that were due during the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 under the New 2029 Notes, Term Loan A Credit Agreement, Term Loan B Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Agreement and the EB-5 Loan Agreement, resulting in events of default under these debt agreements. Additionally, the Company did not make interest and principal payments due in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 on the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes, which will resultresulted in events of default under each series of notes if not cured within 30 days.notes. The defaults under the New 2029 Notes, Term Loan A Credit Agreement, Term Loan B Credit Agreement andAgreement, the Revolving Credit AgreementAgreement, the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes are subject to forbearance under the RSA pursuant to which the lenders have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to refrain from exercising remedies with respect to specified defaults until termination of the RSA or the closing of the Restructuring Transaction. If the Restructuring Transaction is not consummated or the RSA is terminated, the lenders and noteholders have the right to accelerate the outstanding principal balance and all other amounts owing under the New 2029 Notes, the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, Term Loan B Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit AgreementAgreement, the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and other loan documents. If the lenders and noteholders exercise such right, substantially all of the Company’s other outstanding debt would become payable on demand. In addition, the administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement has the ability to exercise remedies on the collateral.
In addition, as our existing indebtedness matures, we may need to refinance that indebtedness with new indebtedness that may have a higher interest rate, which will increase our fixed costs. In accordance with the Restructuring Transaction, the Company will incur up to an aggregate amount of (i) $571.3 million of new term loans, $35 million of Senior Capital Raise Term Loans and Capital Raise Junior Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount, if any, required to satisfy the minimumMinimum liquidityLiquidity thresholdThreshold to the extent the minimum liquidity threshold is not satisfied after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the Senior Capital Raise Term Loans, each under the New CoreCo Credit Facility and (ii) $400 million of new term loans under the FLNG 2 Credit Facility.
Although the instruments governing our indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If we incur additional debt and other obligations, the risks associated with our substantial leverage and the ability to service such debt would increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. For example, the New 2029 Notes issued pursuant to the New 2029 Notes Indenture, issued in part to refinance our 6.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes, and in part to provide additional liquidity to theour business, bear interest at a rate of 12.000% per annum, representing a significant increase in our annual interest expense, while also increasing our total aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. For additional detail, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Long Term Debt.”
We have obtained long-term leases and corresponding rights-of-way agreements and easements with respect to the land on which various of our projects are located, including the San Juan Facility, facilities in Brazil such as the Garuva- ItapoaGaruva-Itapoa pipeline connecting the TBG pipeline to the Sao Francisco do Sul terminal, rights of way to the Petrobras/Transpetro OSPAR oil pipeline facilities, among others. In addition, our operations will require agreements with ports proximate to our facilities capable of handling the transload of LNG direct from our occupying vessel to our transportation assets. We may not own the land on which these facilities are located. As a result, we are subject to the possibility of increased costs to retain necessary land use rights as well as applicable law and regulations, including permits and authorizations from governmental agencies or third parties. If we were to lose these rights or be required to relocate, we would not be able to continue our operations at those sites and our business could be materially and adversely affected. If we are unable to enter into favorable contracts or to obtain the necessary regulatory and land use approvals on favorable terms, we may not be able to construct and operate our assets as anticipated, or at all, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, affiliates of certain entities controlled by Wesley R. Edens, Randal A. Nardone and affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Founder Entities”) owned an aggregate of approximately 93,230,509 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 32.6%32.8% of our voting power, and affiliates of Energy Transition Holdings LLC, party to the Shareholders' Agreement, own an aggregate of approximately 25,559,846 shares of our Class A common stock, representing approximately 8.9% of the voting power of our Class A common stock. The beneficial ownership of almost 50% of our voting stock means affiliates of the Founder Entities and Energy Transition Holdings LLC are able to have significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, changes to our organizational documents and significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership makes it unlikely that any other holder or group of holders of our Class A common stock will be able to affect the way we are managed or the direction of our business. The interests of these parties with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us, such as future acquisitions, financings and other corporate opportunities and attempts to acquire us, may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders, including holders of the Class A common stock.
Given this concentrated ownership, the affiliates of the Founder Entities and Energy Transition Holdings LLC would have significant influence over any potential acquisition of us. The existence of a significant stockholder may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in the best interests of our company. Moreover, the concentration of stock ownership with affiliates of the Founder Entities and Energy Transition Holdings LLC may adversely affect the trading price of our securities, including our Class A common stock, to the extent investors perceive a disadvantage in owning securities of a company with a significant stockholder. Upon the completion of the Restructuring Transaction, we expect our Class A common stock to be widely held, and the ownership of our existing stockholders will be substantially diluted.
Although we are taking definitive steps to regain compliance with the applicable rules, including seeking stockholder approval for the implementation of a reverse stock split, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our effort to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
In connection with the Restructuring Transaction, we will be issuing a significant number of new securities, including CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock and additional shares of common stock, and will be effecting a corporate separation and other material changes to our capital structure. TheAlthough consummationwe ofhave the Restructuring Transaction is conditioned upon, among other things,received stockholder approval of amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and to authorize a reverse stock split, as well as approval for the potential issuance of Class A common stock exceeding 20% of the current outstanding shares to comply with Nasdaq rules.rules, there can be no assurance that the Restructuring Transaction will close and such changes will be implemented. If we are unable to obtain the necessary stockholder approvals or fail to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements as a result of the Restructuring Transaction, including requirements related to minimum market capitalization, public float, or other corporate governance standards, our common stock could be subject to delisting.
The disposition of our Jamaica business has had and is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition and we may not be able to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits from the transaction. Failure to replace the earnings from our Jamaica business could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

“On May 10, 2026, the Company did not provide the $79.1 million bank guarantee that was due to the holders under the PortoCem Debentures (as defined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K). If the Company fails to provide the bank guarantee prior to the expiration of the 45-day cure period, an automatic early maturity event will occur and substantially all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness would be payable on demand. Additionally, other non-financial requirements due on April 30, 2026 were not met, and the debenture holders have the ability to declare an event of early maturity. …”see in full comparison
“These turbines were subject to the forward starting lease with the Company, which prevents the recognition of the sale of these turbines, and therefore these turbines continued to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Construction in progress, and the proceeds were recognized as a financing obligation within Debt. The Company used the proceeds to repay existing debt obligations, specifically the Turbine Financing due July 2027 and the Short-Term Borrowings (both as defined in the Company's Annual Form 10-K), and to provide additional liquidity.”see in full comparison
“On July 17, 2026, the debenture holders unanimously waived their ability to declare an early maturity event through March 31, 2027 and January 30, 2027, respectively, due to the Company's credit rating downgrades and the Company's non-compliance with other non-financial requirements, in exchange for the Company's contribution of $70.0 million into the PortoCem power plant project by August 21, 2026 as well as an additional supplementary guarantee of $59.1 million by January 30, 2027.”see in full comparison

The key driver for the increase was the issuance of additional debt during the second quarter of 2026 and higher interest rates on certain existing debt obligations. In addition, interest expense decreased by $18.6 million for the quarterly comparison and $27.1 million for the year-to-date comparison. …”see in full comparison
“Interest expense decreased marginally by $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to lower outstanding debt resulting from the vessel sale transaction completed during the fourth quarter of 2025, with the decrease partially offset by higher interest expense incurred during continuance of events of default under certain of our debt agreements.”see in full comparison

In response to the Company’s ongoing liquidity challenges, and the events of default under the Company’s indentures and credit agreement, on March 17, 2026, the Company entered into a RSA with the Supporting Creditors, including a majority of the holders of the New 2029 Notes, a majority of the lenders under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement and a majority of the lenders under the Revolving Facility. The RSA provides a framework for a comprehensive restructuring transaction designed to address the Company’s capital structure and restore financial stability. Under the terms of the RSA, the holders of the New 2029 Notes, holders of debt under the R-2 Revolving Credit Facility and the holders of the debt under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, as applicable, will receive 100% of the common equity interests of NFE Brazil Holdings, the parent company of NFE’s Brazil business expected to be separated in connection with the restructuring. In addition, the Supporting Creditors will receive one or a combination of the following: senior secured term loans, non-recourse term loans secured by the Company’s Fast LNG assets, shares of a new class of NFE’s preferred stock as well as shares of NFE’s Class A common stock, and shares of FLNG 2 preferred stock. Certain lenders have also agreed to provide the Company with incremental funding in exchange for additional term loans or additional letter of credit facility capacity to support ongoing operations and liquidity needs. The Restructuring Transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2026, upon satisfaction of the remaining conditions.
Barcarena Terminal
We placed the Barcarena Terminal in service in the second quarter of 2026. The Barcarena Terminal consists of an FSRU and associated infrastructure, including mooring and offshore and onshore pipelines. The Barcarena Terminal is capable of delivering almost 600,000 MMBtu from LNG per day and storing up to 160,000 cubic meters of LNG. We have entered into a 15-year gas supply agreement with a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro ASA for the supply of natural gas to the Alunorte Alumina Refinery in Pará, Brazil, through our Barcarena Terminal. For further discussion on the gas supply agreement, see Note 18 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Upon effectuation of the Restructuring Transaction, we expect to no longer own BrazilCo, including the Barcarena Terminal.
Our projects currently under development include our development of a second modular liquefaction facility to provide a source of low-cost supply of LNG to customers around the world through our Fast LNG technologies; our LNG terminal (“Barcarena Facility”) and power plants located in Pará, Brazil (“Barcarena Power Plant”); our LNG terminal facility and power plant in Puerto Sandino, Nicaragua (“Puerto Sandino Facility”); and our LNG terminal and power plant in Ireland (“Ireland Facility”). Subsequent to the Restructuring Transaction, we will focus on operational efficiency of our current facilities and cost-effective completion of in-process development projects.
Following the completion of the Restructuring Transaction, we do not plan to incur significant capital expenditures to develop our second 1.4 MTPA Fast LNG unit (“FLNG 2”). We are in active discussions with third parties to co-develop FLNG 2, which is expected to take approximately 24 months to complete from the time our partner is engaged. Estimated cost to complete is uncertain and is dependent upon final design and engineering, but we currently expect the remaining cost to be between $750.0 million and $1,500.0$1.5 million.billion.
Barcarena FacilityPower Plant
The Barcarena Facility consists of an FSRU and associated infrastructure, including mooring and offshore and onshore pipelines. The Barcarena Facility is capable of delivering almost 600,000 MMBtu from LNG per day and storing up to 160,000 cubic meters of LNG. We have entered into a 15-year gas supply agreement with a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro ASA for the supply of natural gas to the Alunorte Alumina Refinery in Pará, Brazil, through our Barcarena Facility. We have substantially completed our Barcarena Facility and are in process of final commissioning.
The recently completed Barcarena FacilityTerminal will also supply our new 630 MW combined cycle natural gas-fired power plant located in Pará, Brazil (the “Barcarena Power Plant”). The power plant is fully contracted under multiple 25-year power purchase agreements to supply electricity to the national electricity grid. We expect to place the Barcarena Power Plant into service in the secondthird quarter of 2026.
PortoCem Power Plant
In March 2024, we closed the acquisition of PortoCem Geração de Energia S.A. (“PortoCem”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ceiba Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia- Investimento no Exterior (“Ceiba Energy”). PortoCem is the owner of a 15-year 1.6 GW capacity reserve contract in Brazil. We have transferred the 1.6 GW capacity reserve contract to a site owned by NFE that is adjacent to the Barcarena Facility,Terminal, where NFE is building the 1.6 GW simple cycle, natural gas-fired power plant (“PortoCem Power Plant”) to supply the capacity reserve contract using gas from the Barcarena Facility.Terminal. We expect the PortoCem Power Plant to be completed in 2026.
Upon effectuation of the Restructuring Transaction, we expect to no longer own BrazilCo, including the Barcarena Facility, Barcarena Power Plant and PortoCem Power Plant.
Energos Restructuring Support Agreement
On March 8, 2026, the Company entered into a restructuring support agreement with Energos, which was further amended on March 17, 2026 (“Energos RSA”). The Energos RSA, among other things, cancels and terminates the Company's forward starting charter agreement for Nusantara Regas Satu. The Energos RSA will become effective upon completion of the Restructuring Transaction. This transaction will result in the sale of Nusantara Regas Satu that has been accounted for as a failed sale leaseback. Upon closing of the transaction, we expect to derecognize Nusantara Regas Satu from Property, plant and equipment, net, derecognize the related financing obligation, and recognize a non-cash loss of approximately $40.0 million as the carrying amount of the vessel exceeds the financing obligation balance.
On September 26, 2024, the United States Coast Guard ("USCG") filed a Letter of Recommendation ("LOR") with FERC in which it assessed our Letter of Intent dated April 12, 2024, and our Waterway Suitability Assessment, dated August 26, 2024, in respect of future ship to ship transfers with alternative vessels, and recommended against the allowance of the proposed operations. Further, on September 26, 2024, the USCG issued a Letter of Warning in respect of our ongoing ship to ship transfers of LNG operations within the San Juan port limits. On October 21, 2024, we filed an appeal with the USCG under 33 CFR 160.7. In December 2024 and February 2025, we submitted an updated Letter of Intent and Waterway Suitability Assessments detailing our alternative operational plans to the USCG and are working collaboratively with the USCG to obtain a new LOR to FERC in support of our operations, which we expect to be imminently forthcoming. In concert with our collaboration with the USCG regarding our new operational plans, we withdrew our appeal on February 14, 2025. On January 12, 2026, the Acting Captain of the Port of San Juan for the USCG issued a LOR in response to NFE’s filings. The LOR determined that the Port of San Juan waterway is suitable for the transit and docking of larger LNG Carriers.

The tables below present our segment information for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, December 31, 20252026 and March 31, 2026, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025:
Total revenue for the Terminals and Infrastructure Segment decreasedincreased by $159.4$79.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025, and decreased by $214.0 million for the three months ended March 31,30, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, and decreased by $180.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily attributable to the Company's Barcarena Terminal being placed into service during the quarter, as well as higher volumes delivered in Puerto Rico and Mexico.
•Revenues from our Barcarena Terminal, which was placed into service in April 2026 were $59.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. We delivered 6.2 TBtu of gas from the terminal during this period.
•Revenues attributable to our La Paz Facility in Mexico increased $39.1 million, primarily driven by higher volumes delivered to customers and a capacity payment true-up. Volume-related revenues increased $33.9 million as volumes increased from 1.5 TBtu to 2.9 TBtu, and revenues increased an additional $5.2 million due to a true-up of the estimated capacity payment recorded in the second quarter of 2026. These increases were partially offset by lower average Henry Hub index prices used to invoice our downstream customers.
•Revenues generated by our San Juan Facility in Puerto Rico increased by $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 largely due to the increased volume nominations, partially offset by a decrease in the average Henry Hub index pricing used to invoice our downstream customers.
This increase was partially offset by lower cargo sales and Brazil power revenue in the second quarter of 2026.
The decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to lower cargo and power sales recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as well as additional revenue recognized relating to the settlement agreement with our customer during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
•In December 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement with our customer for $142.0 million, related to the early termination of our contract to provide emergency power services in Puerto Rico, and we recognized revenue of $74.8 million.
•We are required to deliver power under power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) from the Barcarena Power Plant starting in the third quarter of 2025. The Barcarena Power Plant is currently being commissioned, and as such, we partnered with a local energy trader to supply the required power. During the first quarter of 2026, PPAs with certain local distribution companies were suspended. As a result, the Company was required to procure and deliver less power, resulting in decreased revenue from $109.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 to $35.7 million in the first quarter of 2026.
•WeThese recognizedcargo sales decreased from $43.9 million of revenue from cargos sales forin the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $69.4$24.6 million forin the three months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 2025.2026.
•We are required to deliver power under power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) from the Barcarena Power Plant starting in the third quarter of 2025. As the Barcarena Power Plant is still being commissioned, we have partnered with a local energy trader to supply the required power. Revenue from these arrangements decreased from $35.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 to $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower volumes of power delivered.
•The Company recognized a $16.4 million decrease in revenues related to vessel charters due to the sale of certain vessels to Energos in the fourth quarter of 2025 and end of third-party charters for certain vessels.
•These decreases were partially offset by increased volumes delivered to downstream terminal customers from 6.4 TBtu in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 6.9 TBtu in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher volumes offtake at our San Juan Facility. This increase in volumes resulted in a $12.7 million increase in revenue.
•The decreases were also partially offset by a $20.6 million increase in revenues attributable to our Mexico operations, most of which is related to higher revenue recognized for an estimated capacity fee payment in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025.
•The average Henry Hub index pricing used to invoice our downstream customers increased by 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025.
The decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to the sale of our Jamaica business and lower cargo sales. The decrease was partially offset by higher revenues related to the delivery of power under PPAs from the Barcarena Power Plant.
•For the three months ended March 31, 2026, volumes delivered to downstream customers were 6.9 TBtu compared to 13.8 TBtu for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the sale of our Jamaica business, resulting in $94.1 million lower revenues.

The decrease in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the sale of our Jamaica business, lower cargo sales and other factors described below.
•For the six months ended June 30, 2026, volumes delivered to downstream customers were 21.5 TBtu compared to 28.1 TBtu for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the sale of our Jamaica business, resulting in $140.7 million lower revenues.
•Revenue from cargo sales decreased from $207.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $68.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as we utilized higher gas volumes at our terminal operations.
•Revenues from our San Juan Facility decreased $7.9 million due to lower volumes delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, we generated $11.5 million of revenue from turbine replacement during the six months ended June 30, 2025, with no comparable revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
•Vessel charter revenues decreased by $7.9 million, primarily due to the sale of certain vessels to Energos in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the expiration of certain third-party vessel charters.
The decreases were partially offset by higher revenues related to the delivery of power under PPAs and commencement of operations at our Barcarena Terminal.
•Revenues increased by $62.8 million from delivery of power under PPAs from the Barcarena Power Plant and $59.3 million from gas sales following the commencement of operations at the Barcarena Terminal during the six months ended June 30, 2026. No such revenue was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
•The average Henry Hub index pricing used to invoice our downstream customers increased by 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cost of sales decreased by $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by reduced costs of cargo sales. Increased gas costs were largely offset by lower vessel related costs in the first quarter of 2026.
•In the first quarter of 2026, we incurred $44.5 million of cargo sales costs as compared to $54.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
•We delivered 8% higher volumes to our customers in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the last quarter of 2025. The weighted average cost of gas purchased increased from $8.58 per MMBtu for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $9.23 per MMBtu for the three months ended March 31, 2026. In addition, the Henry Hub index increased by 42% over the same period.
Cost of sales decreasedincreased by $102.7$10.7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025,2026. The increase was primarily attributable to a $57.5 million increase in the cost of operating our Barcarena Terminal, which was attributableplaced tointo theservice following:in April 2026.
•Cargo sales costs incurred during three months ended March 31, 2026 were $44.5 million compared to $103.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, consistent with the level of cargo sales during the corresponding periods.
•We delivered 50% lower volumes to our customers during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven mostly by the sale of our Jamaica business in May 2025, resulting in a $52.6 million decrease in cost of sales.
•Vessel costs decreased by $32.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to the reduced number of vessels chartered in our fleet. The decrease reflects the assignment of vessels related to the Jamaica business that we sold in May 2025, and charter expirations or terminations during 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.

•While the volumes delivered to our customers remained consistent in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026, cost decreased due to a decrease in weighted average cost of gas purchased from $9.23 per MMBtu for the three months ended March 31, 2026 to $8.53 per MMBtu for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by a 42% decrease in the Henry Hub index over the same period.
•We incurred $14.7 million of costs relating to cargo sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $44.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consistent with the lower cargo sales discussed above under Revenue.
•Cost of sales related to the delivery of power under the PPAs from the Barcarena Power Plant was $33.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $43.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, in line with the lower volumes of power delivered discussed above under Revenue.
•Vessel costs decreased by $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the owner of a vessel leased by the Company repossessed the vessel after the Company failed to make certain lease payments, resulting in lower vessel costs during the current period. In addition, the lease for one other vessel expired during the three months ended March 31, 2026, also contributing to the decrease in vessel costs.
Cost of sales decreased by $100.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, attributable to the following:
•Cargo sales costs were $59.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $119.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, consistent with the decrease in cargo sales revenue over the same period, as discussed above under Revenue.
•We delivered 46% lower volumes to our customers during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, driven mostly by the sale of our Jamaica business in May 2025, resulting in a $79.1 million decrease in cost of sales. Cost of sales at our La Paz Facility and San Juan Facility also decreased by $20.9 million due to lower volumes delivered.
