Lessee arrangements

Finance leases

Certain enforceable floating regasification terminal leases and pipeline capacity agreements are classified as finance leases, and the right-of-use assets are included in property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease obligations are recognized based on the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was a lessee in finance lease arrangements on one pipeline capacity agreement and one tugboat. These arrangements were determined to be finance leases as their terms represent the majority of the economic life of their respective assets.

Finance lease liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Operating leases

Operating lease right-of-use assets are included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was a lessee to one floating regasification terminal lease and one vessel lease, which are both accounted for as operating leases. Additionally, the Company has operating leases for offices in various locations in which operations are performed. Such leases will often include options to extend the lease and the Company will include option periods that, on commencement date, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise. Variable lease costs relate to certain lease agreements, which

include payments that vary for items such as inflation adjustments, or common area charges. Variable lease costs that are not dependent on an index are excluded from the lease payments that comprise the operating lease liability and are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. None of the Company’s operating leases contain any residual value guarantees.
