2. Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. 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, 2023 (the "Annual Report"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The preparation of condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
3. Adoption of new and revised standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also require entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is allowed, and the amendments in this update must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is not feasible. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring companies to annually present specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is allowed. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is allowed. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, providing illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of Topic 718. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is allowed, and the amendments can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-01 may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
The Company has reviewed all other 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.
4. Asset acquisition and redeemable preferred stock
On March 20, 2024, the Company completed transactions pursuant to an agreement among the Company, Ceiba Energy Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia - Investimento no Exterior (“Ceiba Energy”) and PortoCem Geração de Energia S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ceiba Energy (“PortoCem”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Ceiba Energy 96,746 shares of 4.8% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), and assumed certain of PortoCem’s existing indebtedness in exchange for all outstanding equity interests in PortoCem, the owner of a 15-year 1.6GW capacity reserve contract in Brazil (the “PortoCem Acquisition”).
The PortoCem Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, no goodwill was recorded, and the Company’s acquisition-related costs of $592 were included in the purchase consideration. The total purchase consideration of $162,860, which was comprised of the value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued, PortoCem BTG Loan assumed (defined in Note 19) and deferred tax liability of $37,662 recognized as a result of the acquisition, was allocated to acquired capacity reserve contract within Intangible assets, net.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is not subject to any sinking fund. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted into shares of Class A common stock.
Dividend rights
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, in terms of dividend rights and rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 4.8% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. If the Company does not declare and pay a dividend, the dividend rate will increase to 6.8% per annum until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid in full.
Conversion features
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted by each holder, in whole or in minimum increments of 5,000 shares, at any time into a number of shares of Class A common stock per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon and the then applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price is $47.43 per share of Class A common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
Redemption rights
Upon the occurrence of certain events, the holders constituting at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may require the Company to repurchase the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, for cash or shares of Class A common stock (or any combination thereof) at a repurchase price of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. Contingent events that would allow the holders to require repurchase by the Company include:
•change in control, downgrade in the credit rating of certain of the Company's debt or if certain financial leverage ratios aren't achieved ("Change Event");
•as of the 30th trading day following March 20, 2027, if the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock for the thirty consecutive trading day period beginning on first trading day following March 20, 2027 is less than the then-applicable conversion price ("Share Price Condition").
If the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is to be repurchased by the Company, the majority of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may require the Company to repurchase the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A common stock.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole but not in part, at its option upon 45 days’ written notice as follows:
•on or before March 20, 2027 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends and (ii) the cash amount necessary per share for a holder to achieve a Return on Investment (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as of the redemption date equal to 1.4;
•after the 30th trading day following March 20, 2027 if the Share Price Condition is not met or (y) 30 calendar days after the delivery of the required notice if the Share Price Condition is met, in each case, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends;
•occurrence of a Change Event at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Company may redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash or shares of Class A common stock (or any combination thereof); provided that for a redemption prior to March 20, 2027 due to a Change Event, a majority of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem for cash or shares of Class A common stock.
Since the redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently redeemable and therefore not certain to occur, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not required to be classified as a liability. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company's control, and as such, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Voting rights
Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote with the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a separate class vote with respect to amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
5. Asset sale
In March 2024, the Company completed a series of transactions that included the sale of turbines and related equipment to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA") under an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA"). The Company deployed this equipment in 2023 in response to a request to provide emergency power to stabilize the power grid in Puerto Rico. The purchase price was $306,599. Additionally, the APA includes a requirement that the Company provide major maintenance services on certain of the sold turbines within 12 months of the sale date; the standalone selling price of these maintenance services of $15,330 will be recognized when these services are performed, and the transaction price allocated to the sale of turbines was reduced by this amount. The Company recognized $3,830 of the maintenance services revenue during the quarter. The book value of the turbines and equipment at the time of sale was $368,799, and the Company recognized a loss of $77,530 in Loss on sale of assets, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
A portion of the assets sold to PREPA were previously leased by the Company. To facilitate the sale of these leased turbines, the Company terminated leases, acquiring turbines and equipment immediately prior to the sale of such turbines and equipment to PREPA. The cost to acquire the leased turbines, including the write-off of the right-of-use asset and lease liability were included in the book value of the turbines and the related loss upon sale.
As part of these transactions, the Company repaid the Equipment Notes (See Note 19) that were collateralized by the sold turbines, recognizing a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7,879, which was comprised of fees due upon prepayment as well as the unamortized portion of financing costs incurred at the inception of the loan.
The Company's contract to provide emergency power services to support the grid stabilization project was also terminated. All unrecognized contract liabilities and cost to fulfil at the time of termination were recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) (See Note 6). The Company believes that there are remedies available under the customer contract, and is currently pursuing these remedies. As the outcome of this process is uncertain, any transaction price associated with closing this contract has been fully constrained. The Company has been awarded a new gas sale agreement with PREPA under which the Company is providing gas supply to the sold turbines.
6. Revenue recognition
Operating revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) includes revenue from sales of LNG and natural gas as well as outputs from the Company’s natural gas-fueled power generation facilities, including power and steam, and the sale of LNG cargos. LNG cargo sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $24,502 and $24,502, respectively. LNG cargo sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were $267,777 and $617,138, respectively, which included $162,500 and $332,000 of contract settlements, respectively.
The table below summarizes the balances in Other revenue:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Interest income and other revenue | $ | 4,746 | | | $ | 886 | | | $ | 9,677 | | | $ | 1,805 | |
Operation and maintenance revenue | 79,622 | | | — | | | 108,853 | | | — | |
Total other revenue | $ | 84,368 | | | $ | 886 | | | $ | 118,530 | | | $ | 1,805 | |
Operation and maintenance revenue is recognized by the Company's subsidiary, Genera PR LLC ("Genera"), under its contract for the operation and maintenance of PREPA's thermal generation assets. Under this agreement, Genera is paid a fixed annual fee and reimbursed for pass-through expenses, including payroll expenses of Genera employees, beginning when the contract commenced on July 1, 2023. Amounts recognized in the first half of 2024 include fixed fees, reimbursement of pass-through expenditures and an estimate of variable consideration for incentive fees to be received. Variable consideration has been estimated based on the most likely amount method, and the Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The determination of estimated amounts included in the transaction price is based largely upon an assessment of the uncertainties associated with the variable consideration, including the susceptibility of payment to factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company considers all information that is reasonably available, including historical, current and estimates of future performance.
Under most customer contracts, invoicing occurs once the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers totaled $405,196 and $331,108, respectively, and were included in Receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of current expected credit losses of $10,025 and $1,158, respectively. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an additional allowance for uncollectible receivables of $11,595. The allowance reduces outstanding receivables for certain customers to reflect the amount that the Company expects to receive. Other items included in Receivables, net not related to revenue from contracts with customers represent leases, which are accounted for outside the scope of ASC 606, and receivables associated with reimbursable costs.
Contract assets are comprised of the transaction price allocated to completed performance obligations that will be billed to customers in subsequent periods. The Company has recognized contract liabilities, comprised of unconditional payments due or paid under the contracts with customers prior to the Company’s satisfaction of the related performance obligations. The contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are detailed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Contract assets, net - current | $ | 9,019 | | | $ | 8,714 | |
Contract assets, net - non-current | 15,751 | | | 19,901 | |
Total contract assets, net | $ | 24,770 | | | $ | 28,615 | |
| | | |
Contract liabilities, net - current | $ | 96,331 | | | $ | 65,287 | |
Contract liabilities, net - non-current | 12,375 | | | 31,698 | |
Total contract liabilities, net | $ | 108,706 | | | $ | 96,985 | |
| | | |
Revenue recognized in the year from: | | | |
Amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the year | $ | 81,591 | | | $ | 12,748 | |
Contract assets are presented net of expected credit losses of $248 and $326 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract assets was comprised of $24,351 and $28,536 of unbilled receivables, respectively, which represent unconditional rights to payment only subject to the passage of time.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company received a prepayment of $90,000 for future contracted sales that is included in the contract liability balance as of June 30, 2024; deliveries under this contract will occur in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Contract liabilities decreased in the first quarter of 2024 due to the termination of the Company's contract to support the grid stabilization project in Puerto Rico (Refer to Note 5 - Asset sale). Deferred revenue at the time of termination of $43,577 was recognized as Operating revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company has recognized costs to fulfill contracts with customers, which primarily consist of expenses required to enhance resources to deliver under agreements with these customers. These costs can include set-up and mobilization costs incurred ahead of the service period, and such costs will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected terms of the agreements. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has capitalized $23,270 of which $2,199 of these costs is presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net and $21,071 is presented within Other non-current assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had capitalized $25,282, of which $2,864 of these costs was presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net and $22,418 was presented within Other non-current assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Some of the Company’s contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of less than a year. The Company applied the optional exemption not to report any unfulfilled performance obligations related to these contracts.
The Company has arrangements in which LNG, natural gas or outputs from the Company’s power generation facilities are sold on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the customer is obligated to pay for the minimum guaranteed volumes even if it does not take delivery. The price under these agreements is typically based on a market index plus a fixed margin. The fixed transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under these arrangements represents the fixed margin
multiplied by the outstanding minimum guaranteed volumes. The Company expects to recognize this revenue over the following time periods. The pattern of recognition reflects the minimum guaranteed volumes in each period:
| | | | | |
Period | Revenue |
Remainder of 2024 | $ | 146,803 | |
2025 | 689,179 | |
2026 | 687,236 | |
2027 | 683,546 | |
2028 | 668,315 | |
Thereafter | 9,399,156 | |
Total | $ | 12,274,235 | |
For all other sales contracts that have a term exceeding one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606. Under this expedient, the Company does not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. For these excluded contracts, the sources of variability are (a) the market index prices of natural gas used to price the contracts, and (b) the variation in volumes that may be delivered to the customer. Both sources of variability are expected to be resolved at or shortly before delivery of each unit of LNG, natural gas, power or steam. As each unit of LNG, natural gas, power or steam represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied.
Lessor arrangements
Property, plant and equipment subject to vessel charters accounted for as operating leases is included within Vessels in Note 14. Vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction (defined below in Note 12), including those vessels chartered to third parties, continue to be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of these vessels that are leased to third parties under operating leases is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Property, plant and equipment | $ | 686,683 | | | $ | 686,683 | |
Accumulated depreciation | (83,160) | | | (69,977) | |
Property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 603,523 | | | $ | 616,706 | |
The components of lease income from vessel operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are shown below. As the Company has not recognized the sale of all of the vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction (defined below), the operating lease income shown below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 includes revenue of $42,578 and $85,162 from third-party charters of vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction. The operating lease income shown below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 includes revenue of $65,840 and $142,364, respectively, from third-party charters of vessels included in the Energos Formation Transaction.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Operating lease income | $ | 49,944 | | | $ | 65,840 | | | $ | 93,303 | | | $ | 142,364 | |
Variable lease income | 2,472 | | | — | | | 5,768 | | | — | |
Total operating lease income | $ | 52,416 | | | $ | 65,840 | | | $ | 99,071 | | | $ | 142,364 | |
Subsequent to the Energos Formation Transaction, all cash receipts on long-term vessel charters will be received by Energos. As such, future cash receipts from both operating and finance leases were not significant as of June 30, 2024.
7. Leases, as lessee
The Company has operating leases primarily for the use of LNG vessels, marine port space, office space, land and equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements. The Company’s leases may include multiple optional renewal periods that are exercisable solely at the Company’s discretion. Renewal periods are included in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal options would be exercised, and the associated lease payments for such periods are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability.
The Company’s leases include fixed lease payments which may include escalation terms based on a fixed percentage or may vary based on an inflation index or other market adjustments. Escalations resulting from changes in inflation indices and market adjustments, as well as other lease costs that depend on the use of the underlying asset, are not considered lease payments when calculating the lease liability or ROU asset. Instead, such payments are accounted for as variable lease cost when the condition that triggers the variable payment becomes probable. Variable lease cost includes contingent rent payments for office space based on the percentage occupied by the Company in addition to common area charges and other charges that are variable in nature. The Company also has a component of lease payments that are variable related to the LNG vessels, in which the Company may receive credits based on the performance of the LNG vessels during the period.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company terminated the finance lease of certain turbines and purchased the turbines from the lessor. Immediately subsequent to the purchase of the turbines, the assets were sold as part of the sale of assets to PREPA (Refer to Note 5). The termination of the lease resulted in the write-off of the right-of-use asset and lease liability of $24,339 and $29,443, respectively, which was included in the book value of the turbines and the related loss upon sale.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company terminated the operating lease of three turbines. The termination of the lease resulted in the write-off of the right-of-use asset and lease liability of $23,018 and $25,762 respectively, and a loss on lease termination of $4,789 recognized within Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 7.1 years and finance leases was 3.1 years. Because the Company generally does not have access to the rate implicit in the lease, the incremental borrowing rate is utilized as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate associated with operating leases as of June 30, 2024 was 10.3% and as of December 31, 2023 was 10.1%. The weighted average discount rate associated with finance leases as of June 30, 2024 was 5.2% and as of December 31, 2023 was 8.2%.
8. Financial instruments
During the first and second quarters of 2024, the Company entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts and zero-cost collar options to reduce exchange rate risk associated with U.S. dollar borrowings and expected capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2024, the notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts was approximately $359,135. The Company recognized unrealized losses on a portion of these instruments of $6,205 and $7,027 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 respectively. For certain instruments, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $17,121 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. These instruments are expected to settle starting in 2024 through the third quarter of 2026.
The mark-to-market gain or loss on the foreign exchange contracts and other derivative instruments that are not intended to mitigate commodity risk are reported in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company does not hold or issue instruments for speculative purposes, and the counterparties to such contracts are major banking and financial institutions. Credit risk exists to the extent that the counterparties may not meet their contractual responsibilities; however, the Company does not anticipate any inability to perform by any counterparties.
Fair value
Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
•Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
•Level 3 – unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and for which the Company needs to develop its own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
•Market approach – uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
•Income approach – uses valuation techniques, such as the discounted cash flow technique, to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts.
•Cost approach – based on the amount that currently would be necessary to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
The Company uses the market approach when valuing investment in equity securities and foreign exchange forward contracts which are recorded in Other non-current assets and Other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
The Company uses the income approach for valuing the contingent consideration derivative liabilities. The liabilities represent consideration due to the sellers in asset acquisitions when certain contingent events occur and are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities based on the timing of expected settlement.
The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated considering current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company estimates fair value of the contingent consideration derivative liabilities using a discounted cash flows method with discount rates based on the average yield curve for bonds with similar credit ratings and matching terms to the discount periods as well as a probability of the contingent events occurring.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including those that are measured at fair value, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

In the third quarter of 2023, An Bord Pleanála, Ireland's planning commission, denied the Company's application for the development of an LNG terminal and power plant in Shannon, Ireland. The Company is challenging this decision. Capitalized permits and development rights are primarily comprised of capitalized costs related to this project. 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 to the Company's results of operations.
