(1)
Includes corporate activities, oil and gas exploration, development and exploitation activities and certain intercompany eliminations. Our oil and gas exploration, development and exploitation operating activities have been included in the corporate and other column due to the lack of a material impact that these activities have on our consolidated financial statements.
(2)
Substantially all of the LNG terminal revenues relate to regasification capacity reservation fee payments made by Total and Chevron. LNG and natural gas marketing and trading revenue consists primarily of the domestic marketing of natural gas imported into the Sabine Pass LNG terminal and international revenue allocations using a cost plus transfer pricing methodology.
(3)
Intersegment revenues related to our LNG terminal segment are primarily from tug revenues from Cheniere Marketing and the receipt of 80% of gross margins earned by Cheniere Marketing in an effort to utilize the reserved capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal of Cheniere Investments under its terminal use rights assignment and agreement ("TURA") pursuant to which Cheniere Investments has the right to use Sabine Pass Liquefaction's reserved capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal under Sabine Pass Liquefaction's TUA in the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These LNG terminal segment intersegment revenues are eliminated with intersegment expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(4)
Intersegment revenues (losses) related to our LNG and natural gas marketing segment are primarily from Cheniere Marketing's tug costs and the payment of 80% of gross margins earned by Cheniere Marketing in an effort to utilize the reserved capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal of Cheniere Investments under its TURA in the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These LNG terminal segment intersegment costs are eliminated with intersegment revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(5)
Items to reconcile loss from operations and income (loss) before income taxes and non-controlling interest include consolidated other income (expense) amounts as presented on the statement of operations primarily related to our LNG terminal segment and intercompany debt extinguishments that are eliminated in consolidation.
