Executing on Strategy 4 Complete construction on 7 LNG trains on an accelerated basis, on time and on budget Transition to an operating company, first cargo expected from Sabine Pass late February/March 2016 Continue commercialization of additional LNG trains and excess LNG volumes Seek additional growth initiatives with emphasis on accretive projects and optimization of shareholder returns
Cheniere Projected Cash Flow Build-Up With 7 Trains Estimates based on fixed fees underpinned by 20-year SPAs representing ~87% of capacity Remaining capacity estimated to be sold based on prevailing market spreads 5 * Represents expected cash flows from ownership in CQP and CQH, net of interest expense Note: See “Forward Looking Statements” Slide. For supplementary financial details, see slide 26. Cash flow build up scenario above assumes refinancing of SPL and CCH credit facilities with non-amortizing project bonds and remaining equity requirements funded by operating cash flow and cash on hand. Scenario which includes CMI sales assumes market spreads of ~$2.50 as of December 2015. EBITDA, project EBITDA, pre-tax cash flow and pre-tax cash flow per share are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA is computed as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have not made any forecast of net income, which would be the most comparable financial measure under GAAP, and we are unable to reconcile differences between these forecasted non-GAAP measures and net income. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or in lieu of an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, and should be evaluated only on a supplementary basis.

EBITDA is computed as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have not made any forecast of net income, which would be the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP, and we are unable to reconcile differences between forecasts of these non-GAAP measures and net income. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or in lieu of an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, and should be evaluated only on a supplementary basis.
