These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net earnings and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
3. Adoption of new and revised standards
(a)New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the year beginning January 1, 2022:
The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that such pronouncements are either not applicable to the Company or no material impact is expected in the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
(b)New and amended standards adopted by the Company:
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. The adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
4. Acquisitions
Hygo Merger
On April 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common and preferred shares representing all voting interests of Hygo Energy Transition Ltd. (“Hygo”), a 50-50 joint venture between Golar LNG Limited (“GLNG”) and Stonepeak Infrastructure Fund II Cayman (G) Ltd., a fund managed by Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners (“Stonepeak”), in exchange for 31,372,549 shares of NFE Class A common stock and $580,000 in cash (the "Hygo Merger"). The acquisition of Hygo expanded the Company’s footprint in South America with three gas-to-power
projects in Brazil’s large and fast-growing market. Assets acquired as a result of the Hygo Merger included a 50% interest in a 1.5GW power plant in Sergipe, Brazil (the “Sergipe Power Plant”) and its operating FSRU terminal in Sergipe, Brazil (the “Sergipe Facility”), as well as a terminal and power plant under development in the State of Pará, Brazil (the “Barcarena Facility” and "Barcarena Power Plant," respectively), and a terminal under development on the southern coast of Brazil (the “Santa Catarina Facility”). In addition, the Company also acquired included two LNG carriers and the Nanook, a newbuild FSRU moored and in service at the Sergipe Facility.
Based on the closing price of NFE’s common stock on April 15, 2021, the total value of consideration in the Hygo Merger was $1.98 billion, shown as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Consideration | | | As of April 15, 2021 |
Cash consideration for Hygo Preferred Shares | $ | 180,000 | | | |
Cash consideration for Hygo Common Shares | 400,000 | | | |
Total Cash Consideration | | | $ | 580,000 | |
Merger consideration to be paid in shares of NFE Common Stock | 1,400,784 | | | |
Total Non-Cash Consideration | | | 1,400,784 | |
Total Consideration | | | $ | 1,980,784 | |
The Company determined it was the accounting acquirer of Hygo, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The total purchase price of the transaction was allocated to identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests of Hygo based on their respective estimated fair values as of the closing date. The final adjusted fair values assigned to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests of Hygo as of the closing date were as follows:
| | | | | |
Hygo | As of April 15, 2021 |
Assets Acquired | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 26,641 | |
Restricted cash | 48,183 | |
Accounts receivable | 5,126 | |

Equity method investments | 823,521 | |
Finance leases, net | 601,000 | |
Deferred tax assets, net | 1,065 | |
Other non-current assets | 52,996 | |
Total assets acquired: | $ | 2,081,663 | |
Liabilities Assumed | |
Current portion of long-term debt | $ | 38,712 | |
Accounts payable | 3,059 | |
Accrued liabilities | 39,149 | |
Other current liabilities | 13,495 | |
Long-term debt | 433,778 | |

Other non-current liabilities | 21,520 | |
Total liabilities assumed: | 825,123 | |
Non-controlling interest | 38,306 | |
Net assets acquired: | 1,218,234 | |
Goodwill | $ | 762,550 | |
The fair value of Hygo’s non-controlling interest (“NCI”) as of April 15, 2021 was $38,306, including the fair value of the net assets of VIEs that Hygo has consolidated. These VIEs are SPVs (both defined below) for the sale and leaseback of certain vessels, and Hygo has no equity investment in these entities. The fair value of NCI was determined based on the valuation of the SPV’s external debt and the lease receivable asset associated with the sales leaseback transaction with Hygo’s subsidiary, using a discounted cash flow method.
The fair value of receivables acquired from Hygo was $8,009, which approximated the gross contractual amount; no material amounts were expected to be uncollectible.
Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents access to additional LNG and natural gas distribution systems and power markets, including workforce, that will allow the Company to rapidly develop and deploy LNG to power solutions. While the goodwill is not deductible for local tax purposes, it is treated as an amortizable expense for the U.S. global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") computation.
The Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 include Hygo’s result of operations for the entire period. Revenue and net loss attributable to Hygo during the period was $49,391 and $179,826, respectively.

On April 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common units, representing all voting interests, of Golar LNG Partners LP ("GMLP") in exchange for $3.55 in cash per common unit and for each of the outstanding membership interest of GMLP’s general partner (the "GMLP Merger, and collectively with the Hygo Merger,
the "Mergers"). In conjunction with the closing of the GMLP Merger, NFE simultaneously extinguished a portion of GMLP’s debt for total consideration of $1.15 billion.
As a result of the GMLP Merger, the Company acquired a fleet of six FSRUs and four LNG carriers, which are expected to help support the Company’s existing facilities and international business development pipeline. Acquired FSRUs are operating in Brazil, Indonesia and Jordan under time charters, and uncontracted vessels are available for short term employment in the spot market. Assets acquired also included an interest in a floating natural gas liquefaction vessel ("FLNG"), the Hilli Episeyo (the "Hilli"), which is expected to provide consistent cash flow streams under a long-term tolling arrangement. The interest in the FLNG facility also provides the Company access to intellectual property that will be used to develop future FLNG solutions.
The consideration paid by the Company in the GMLP Merger was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Consideration | | | As of April 15, 2021 |

The fair value of GMLP’s NCI as of April 15, 2021 was $196,156, which represents the fair value of other investors’ interest in the Mazo, GMLP’s preferred units which were not acquired by the Company and the fair value of net assets of an SPV formed for the purpose of a sale and leaseback of the Eskimo. The fair value of GMLP’s preferred units and the valuation of the SPV’s external debt and the lease receivable asset associated with the sale leaseback transaction have been estimated using a discounted cash flow method.
The fair value of receivables acquired from GMLP was $4,797, which approximated the gross contractual amount; no material amounts were expected to be uncollectible.
The Company acquired favorable and unfavorable leases for the use of GMLP’s vessels. The fair value of the favorable contracts was $106,500 and the fair value of the unfavorable contracts was $13,400. The total weighted average amortization period is approximately three years; the favorable contract asset has a weighted average amortization period of approximately three years and the unfavorable contract liability has a weighted average amortization period of approximately one year.
The Company and GMLP had an existing lease agreement prior to the GMLP Merger. As a result of the acquisition, the lease agreement and any associated receivable and payable balances were effectively settled. The lease agreement also included provisions that required a subsidiary of NFE to indemnify GMLP to the extent that GMLP incurred certain tax liabilities as a result of the lease. A loss of $3,978 related to settlement of this indemnification provision was recognized in Transaction and integration costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the second quarter of 2021.
The Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 include GMLP’s result of operations for the entire period. Revenue and net income attributable to GMLP during the period was $139,674 and $105,970, respectively.
Unaudited pro forma financial information
The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of the Company as if the Mergers had occurred on January 1, 2020.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2021 | | 2021 |
Revenue | $ | 239,554 | | | $ | 474,990 | |
Net income (loss) | 4,438 | | | (48,746) | |
Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders | 3,904 | | | (46,146) | |
The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on historical results of operations as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2020, adjusted for transaction costs incurred, adjustments to depreciation expense associated with the recognition of the fair value of vessels acquired, additional amortization expense associated with the recognition of the fair value of favorable and unfavorable customer contracts for vessel charters, additional interest expense as a result of incurring new debt and extinguishing historical debt, elimination of a pre-existing lease relationship between the Company and GMLP, and a step-up of the equity method investments.
Adjustments for non-recurring items increased pro forma net income by $25,887 and $37,450 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Transaction costs incurred and the elimination of a pre-existing lease relationship between the Company and GMLP are considered to be non-recurring. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Mergers.
Asset acquisitions
On January 12, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CH4 Energia Ltda. (“CH4”), an entity that owns key permits and authorizations to develop an LNG terminal and an up to 1.37GW gas-fired power plant at the Port of Suape in Brazil. The purchase consideration consisted of $903 of cash paid at closing in addition to potential future payments contingent on achieving certain construction milestones of up to approximately $3,600. As the contingent payments meet the definition of a derivative, the fair value of the contingent payments as of the acquisition date of $3,047 was included as part of the purchase consideration and was recognized in Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The selling shareholders of CH4 may also receive future payments based on gas consumed by the power plant or sold to customers from the LNG terminal.
The purchase of CH4 has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, no goodwill was recorded, and the Company’s acquisition-related costs of $295 were included in the purchase consideration. The total purchase consideration of $5,776, which included a deferred tax liability of $1,531 recognized as a result from the acquisition, was allocated to permits and authorizations acquired and was recorded within Intangible assets, net.
On March 11, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Pecém Energia S.A. (“Pecém”) and Energetica Camacari Muricy II S.A. (“Muricy”). These companies collectively hold grants to operate as an independent power provider and 15-year power purchase agreements for the development of thermoelectric power plants in the State of Bahia, Brazil. The Company is seeking to obtain the necessary approvals to transfer the power purchase agreements in connection with the construction the gas-fired power plant and LNG import terminal at the Port of Suape.
The purchase consideration consisted of $8,041 of cash paid at closing in addition to potential future payments contingent on achieving commercial operations of the gas-fired power plant at the Port of Suape of up to approximately $10.5 million. As the contingent payments meet the definition of a derivative, the fair value of the contingent payments as of the acquisition date of $7,473 was included as part of the purchase consideration and was recognized in Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The selling shareholders may also receive future payments based on power generated by the power plant in Suape, subject to a maximum payment of approximately $4.6 million.
The purchases of Pecém and Muricy were accounted for as asset acquisitions. As a result, no goodwill was recorded, and the Company’s acquisition-related costs of $1,275 were included in the purchase consideration. Of the total purchase consideration, $16,585 was allocated to acquired power purchase agreements and recorded in Intangible assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets; the remaining purchase consideration was related to working capital acquired.
5. VIEs
Lessor VIEs
The Company assumed sale leaseback arrangements for four vessels as part of the Mergers, one of which was terminated in 2021. As part of these financings, the vessel was sold to a single asset entity wholly owned by the lending bank (a special purpose vehicle or "SPV") and then leased back. While the Company does not hold an equity investment in these lending entities, these entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs"), and the Company has a variable interest in these lending entities due to the guarantees and fixed price repurchase options that absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company has concluded that it has the power to direct the economic activities that most impact the economic performance as it controls the significant decisions relating to the assets and it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the residual returns from the leased asset. Therefore, the Company consolidates these lending entities; as NFE has no equity interest in these VIEs, all equity attributable to these VIEs is included in non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements. Transactions between NFE's wholly-owned subsidiaries and these VIEs are eliminated in consolidation, including sale leaseback transactions.
CCB Financial Leasing Corporation Limited (“CCBFL”)
In September 2018, the Nanook was sold to a subsidiary of CCBFL, Compass Shipping 23 Corporation Limited, and subsequently leased back on a bareboat charter for a term of twelve years. The Company has options to repurchase the vessel throughout the charter term at fixed pre-determined amounts, commencing from the third anniversary of the commencement of the bareboat charter, with an obligation to repurchase the vessel at the end of the twelve-year lease period.
Oriental Shipping Company (“COSCO”)
In December 2019, the Penguin was sold to a subsidiary of COSCO, Oriental Fleet LNG 02 Limited, and subsequently leased back on a bareboat charter for a term of six years. The Company has options to repurchase the vessel throughout the charter term at fixed pre-determined amounts, commencing from the first anniversary of the commencement of the bareboat charter, with an obligation to repurchase the vessel at the end of the six-year lease period.
AVIC International Leasing Company Limited (“AVIC”)
In March 2020, the Celsius was sold to a subsidiary of AVIC, Noble Celsius Shipping Limited, and subsequently leased back on a bareboat charter for a term of seven years. The Company has options to repurchase the vessel throughout the charter term at fixed predetermined amounts, commencing from the first anniversary of the commencement of the bareboat charter, with an obligation to repurchase the vessel at the end of the seven-year lease period.
As of June 30, 2022, the Penguin and Celsius were recorded as Property, plant and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the Nanook was recognized in Finance leases, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
