[1] Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted net loss per share computation for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were 0.5 million shares of unvested stock, because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.
[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.
[3] In January 2026, we redeemed the remaining redeemable NCI in our consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) that owns the Gregory Power Plant, as described in Note 6—Non-Controlling Interests and Variable Interest Entities. Prior to the redemption, in computing basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders, net income attributable to Cheniere was adjusted for the remeasurement of the redeemable NCI, net of tax, to its redemption value, as required under the two-class method. See Note 13—Net Income per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders for the full computation.
