UK Restructuring Plan Transaction Update 2


 
UK RP Transaction Update 3 The Transaction utilizes a UK process (UK RP) that allows us to… Exchange debt for equity and other consideration (i) with our various creditors Allows us to continue to run the Company without interruption during this process The plan is consensual & constitutes one of the largest transactions of its type ever agreed upon (2) We have reached an agreement with our creditors to exchange debt for our equity (1) i.

UK RP Transaction Update 4 What is a UK Restructuring Plan (UK RP)? A UK Restructuring Plan (UK RP) is a court -sanctioned restructuring process used by companies to restructure their debt & capital structure. NFE has reached agreement with its creditors to restructure its debt using a “UK Restructuring Plan ” The RSA contains all material terms to be enacted by the UK RP Process The Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) is supported by more than 50% of existing creditors by value


 
5 UK RP Transaction Update The first step of the Transaction is to separate the Company into two independent businesses, BrazilCo (Hygo) & “New NFE” Two independent businesses: 1. BrazilCo (Hygo) (comprising terminals, power plants & operations in Brazil) will become a private company managed by the existing Brazil leadership team and primarily owned by a group of institutional investors. 2. “New NFE” ( the remaining business) will continue as a publicly traded, integrated LNG -to-power platform with a significantly simplified, stronger capital structure that has been greatly deleveraged.

28 1. The Company is also issuing approximately $527.5 million in debt in exchange for the NFE corporate debt along with the $2.5 b ill ion in preferred equity of the Company and the issuance of 65% of the Company’s common equity. 2. The Company has entered into an agreement with over 50% of its existing creditors by value. The Company continues to discuss the transaction with other creditors that have not yet signed the agreement. 3. The Company’s corporate debt could increase to approximately $640 million if certain preferred stockholders exchange preferre d s tock for debt. This estimate does not include a potential capital raise if the Company does not meet minimum liquidity thresholds. 4. The Company has also agreed that a subsidiary that owns the Company’s FLNG 2 Assets will issue $400 million in non -recourse ter m loans and $200 million in preferred equity which will be distributed to lenders and noteholders with senior liens on the Company’s FLNG 2 Assets 5. "Terminal commissioning", "Operational", "Completed", "COD", "Placed into service" or "commercial operation date", "Deploymen t" or similar statuses (either capitalized or lower case) with respect to a particular project means we expect gas to be made available in the near future , gas has been made available to the relevant project, or that the relevant project is in full commercial operations. Where g as is going to be made available or has been made available but full commercial operations have not yet begun, full commercial operations will occur later than, and may occur sub stantially later than, our reported Operational, Completion or Deployment date, and we may not generate any revenue until full commercial operations have begun. We cannot assure you if or when such projects will reach fu ll commercial operation. Our ability to export liquefied natural gas depends on our ability to obtain export and other permits from governmental and regulatory agencies. No assurance can be given that we will receive required p erm its, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies in connection with the exportation of liquefied natural gas on a timely basis or at all or that, once received, we will be able to maintain in f ull force and effect, renew or replace such permits, approvals and authorizations. 6. Margin: Management's expectations for the margin that it expects to achieve for each MMBtu when LNG or gas is being delivere d u nder each demand contract for the applicable region or to the market. Estimates regarding the margin for market volumes are based on recent market pricing and forward projected pricing, but these numbers may fluctuate d ram atically, particularly in light of current political developments in the Middle East and elsewhere. Actual circumstances could differ materially from the assumptions underlying contractual margin, and actual performance and r esu lts could differ materially from, and there can be no assurance that they will reflect, our corporate goal. 7. "Adjusted EBITDA" is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non -GAAP measure, as we have defined it, of fers a useful supplemental view of the overall operation of our business in evaluating the effectiveness of our ongoing operating performance in a manner that is consistent with metrics used for management's evaluati on of the Company's overall performance and to compensate employees. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expe nse , taxes, depreciation, and amortization which vary substantially from company to company depending on capital structure, the method by which assets were acquired and depreciation policies. Further, we exclude certa in items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing performance. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus transaction and integration costs, contract termination charges and loss on mitigations sales, dep rec iation and amortization, asset impairment expense, interest expense (net), other expense (income), net, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in fair value of non -hedge derivative instruments and contingent consideration, tax expense, and adjusting for certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance, including non -cash share -based compensation and severance expense, non -capitalizable development expenses , cost to pursue new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure, plus our pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from certain unconsolidated entities, less the impact of equi ty in earnings (losses) of certain unconsolidated entities plus certain non -capitalizable contract acquisition costs. Adjusted EBITDA is mathematically equivalent to our Total Segment Operating Margin, as reported in the segment disclos ure s within our financial statements, minus Core SG&A, including our pro rata share of such expenses of certain unconsolidated entities. Core SG&A is defined as total SG&A adjusted for non -cash share -based compensation a nd severance expense, non -capitalizable development expenses, cost to pursue new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure. Core SG&A excludes certain items from our SG&A no t otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statemen ts. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our GAAP net income, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Adjusted EB ITD A does not have a standardized meaning, and different companies may use different Adjusted EBITDA definitions. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by oth er companies. Moreover, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be the same as those we use for purposes of establishing covenant compliance under our financing agreements or for other purposes. Adjusted EBI TDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to New Fortress Energy, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. Endnotes


 
29 8. "Adjusted EBITDA Forecast" is our forward -looking target for Adjusted EBITDA for the relevant period and is less Estimated SG&A, including the pro rata share of SG&A from unconsolidated entities. This presentation assumes that (i) the Company begins earning revenues related to power dispatch & capacity payments from its operations in Nicaragua in Janua ry 2027 (assumptions reflect revised proposal which would supersede existing contract in place), (ii) the Company resumes supply to San Juan’s Unit 6 in the second quarter of 2026 following maintenance and begins to delive r g as to additional sites in Puerto Rico in 2027 following conversion of existing diesel facilities to natural gas, and (iii) the Company begins to receive lease revenue from its turbines beginning in October 2026. The Company p lan s to enter into a sale leaseback transaction to sell 10 turbines to a third party and lease the turbines back at $305K per turbine per month with certain inflation adjustments and purchase rights. The Company expects to rec eive lease revenue of $1 million per month for each turbine less the lease payment to the owner of the turbines and associated operating costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive revenues from any of th ese three initiatives under the projected timing included in the financial projections. Our projected cost of natural gas assumes a reduction of $0.30 per MMBtu for FLNG 1 in the fourth quarter of 2027 resulting from negotiatio ns of feedgas sourcing. References to volumes, percentages of such volumes ( i) are not based on the Company's historical operating results, which are limited, and (ii) do not purport to be an actual representation of our futu re economics. These estimates do not include the cost of the Company’s transportation vessel for Nicaragua until the project begins earning revenues in 2027, at which point this cost is reflected in the Nicaragua project A EBI TDA. Actual circumstances could differ materially from the assumptions, and actual performance and results could differ materially from, and there can be no assurance that they will reflect, our corporate forecast. 9. Run -Rate is based on management’s estimate of 2029 financial results which includes projected revenues from the Company’s operat ions in Nicaragua, revenue from the conversion of existing diesel facilities to natural gas additional sites in Puerto Rico and lease revenue from the Company’s turbines. These estimates do not include the financial imp act of the receipt of any volumes from the Venture Global CP2 facility. Actual circumstances could differ materially from the assumptions, and actual performance and results could differ materially from, and there can be no ass urance that they will reflect, our corporate forecast. 10. This estimate does not include a potential capital raise if the Company does not meet minimum liquidity thresholds. Endnotes
