[1] In computing basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders, net income attributable to Cheniere is adjusted for the remeasurement of the redeemable NCI, net of tax, to its redemption value, as required under the two-class method. See Note 17—Net Income per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders for the full computation.
[2] Earnings per share in the table may not recalculate exactly due to rounding because it is calculated based on whole numbers, not the rounded numbers presented.
