Forward Guidance
NFE is focused on expanding its LNG supply, advancing infrastructure projects, and developing its clean energy business. The company aims to capitalize on the elevated commodity market environment and explore financing alternatives.
Positive Outlook
- Expected volumes of LNG and our ability to supply LNG and natural gas in the future, including under our definitive agreements, such as the agreements with Norsk Hydro and CFEnergia
- Current elevated and volatile commodity market environment creating significant tailwinds for NFE’s business
- Completion of construction and commissioning of our Nicaragua and Brazil projects
- Expectations regarding our benefits from our Fast LNG asset and ability to use our current assets for our Fast LNG project
- Capitalization of NFE Zero Parks
Challenges Ahead
- The risk that the volumes we are able to sell are less than we expect due to decreased customer demand or our inability to supply
- The risk that our development, construction or commissioning of our facilities will take longer than we expect
- The risk that we may not develop our Fast LNG project on the timeline we expect or at all, or that we do not receive the benefits we expect from the Fast LNG project
- Cyclical or other changes in the demand for and price of LNG and natural gas
- The risk that we may be unable to implement our financing strategy or to effectively leverage our assets.
