| Debt | 16. Debt As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, debt consisted of the following:
Debt is recorded at amortized cost on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was $5,886,680 and $4,382,841 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding debt balances under the New 2029 Notes, Term Loan B, Term Loan A, and Revolving Facility were classified as current, primarily due to the existing events of default and/or non-compliance with covenant requirements as described in Note 2. In addition, the outstanding balances of the 2026 Notes, 2029 Notes, PortoCem Debentures, EB-5 Loan, and Tugboat Financing are also classified as current due to events of default and/or expected non-compliance with covenant requirements, as discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The terms of the Company's debt instruments have been described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant changes to the Company's outstanding debt are described below. PortoCem Financings The Company did not provide the $79,100 bank guarantee that was due to the holders under the PortoCem Debentures (as defined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K) by June 24, 2026, after the 45-day cure period. Additionally, other non-financial requirements due on April 30, 2026 were not met, including certain financial ratio and certification requirements. On July 17, 2026, the debenture holders unanimously waived their ability to declare an early maturity event through March 31, 2027 and January 30, 2027, respectively, due to the Company's credit rating downgrades and the Company's non-compliance with other non-financial requirements, in exchange for the Company's contribution of $70,000 into the PortoCem power plant project by August 21, 2026 as well as an additional supplementary guarantee of $59,100 by January 30, 2027. The outstanding principal balance of the PortoCem Debentures remains presented as a current liability as of June 30, 2026, given the conditional nature of the waivers obtained and the remaining conditions to be satisfied. Following the completion of the Restructuring Transaction, the Company will no longer own BrazilCo, and the liabilities of BrazilCo, including the PortoCem Debentures will no longer be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Turbine Financing Obligation, due July 2036 In April 2026, the Company completed a transaction with Macquarie Energy LLC (“Macquarie”), pursuant to which ownership of nine turbines were transferred to Macquarie in exchange for approximately $265,883 in cash. Concurrently, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease back the same turbines under a 10-year lease term with a commencement date of July 1, 2026. These turbines were subject to the forward starting lease with the Company, which prevents recognition of the sale of these turbines, and therefore these turbines continued to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Construction in progress, and the proceeds were recognized as a financing obligation within Debt. The Company used the proceeds to repay existing debt obligations, specifically the Turbine Financing due July 2027 and the Short-Term Borrowings (both as defined in the Company's Annual Form 10-K), and to provide additional liquidity. The repayment of the Turbine Financing due July 2027 and the Short-Term Borrowings was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $3,713. The lease subsequently commenced on July 1, 2026 and the Company has preliminarily determined that the lease will be classified as an operating lease effective July 1, 2026, which is expected to effectuate the sale of these turbines. As a result, during the quarter ending September 30, 2026, the Company expects that the turbine assets will be derecognized as well as the associated financing obligation, with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Concurrently, the Company expects to record a ROU asset and lease liability for the lease commencing on July 1, 2026. Brazil Bridge Credit Agreement On April 14, 2026, NFE Brazil Holdings Limited (“NFE Brazil Holdings”), an indirect subsidiary of NFE, entered into a credit agreement (the “Brazil Bridge Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured, multiple draw term loan facility of $50,000 (the “Brazil Bridge Term Loan Facility”). The full amount was drawn on April 14, 2026 (the “Brazil Bridge Term Loan”). The Brazil Bridge Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, which will be paid-in-kind. Additionally, the Company incurred a 2.0% lender fee that was paid in kind, which was recorded as a debt discount and is amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Brazil Bridge Term Loan, including accrued and unpaid interest, was repaid in full on June 22, 2026, with the proceeds from the issuance of the New Brazil Notes (as defined below). New Brazil Notes On June 19, 2026, NFE Brazil Financing Limited, an indirect subsidiary of NFE, issued $973,500 aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “New Brazil Notes”), including 10% of commitment fees paid in kind, which was recorded as a discount. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payable in kind semi-annually beginning on November 15, 2026 and mature on November 15, 2029. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the New Brazil Notes of $477,087 was used to repay the Brazil Bridge Term Loan (as defined above) and the Brazil Financing Notes (as defined in the Company's Annual Form 10-K), including any accrued and unpaid interest and interest paid-in-kind. As of June 30, 2026, $245,778 of proceeds are held in escrow and restricted for certain uses as described in the indenture, which is presented in Restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The repayment of the Brazil Bridge Term Loan and the Brazil Financing Notes was evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment of debt. As a result of this evaluation, the repayment of the Brazil Bridge Term Loan was determined to be an extinguishment of debt and, therefore, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $580 to write off the unamortized discount and unamortized issuance costs. The repayment of the Brazil Financing Notes was treated as a modification, and fees and amortized issuance costs amounting to $9,325 that were attributed to the lender that participated in both the Brazil Financing Notes and the New Brazil Notes will be amortized over the term of the New Brazil Notes. Upon completion of the Restructuring Transaction contemplated under the RSA, NFE will no longer own BrazilCo, and the liabilities of BrazilCo, including the New Brazil Notes will no longer be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Interest expense Interest and related amortization of debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts recognized during major development and construction projects are capitalized and included in the cost of the project. Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted of the following:
