Cheniere Investment Thesis
Positioned as low-cost LNG provider through brownfield site expansions
7 train platform offers excellent visibility for long-term cash flows
• 20-year “take-or-pay” style commercial agreements with investment grade off-takers for approximately
87% of the expected aggregate nominal production capacity under construction or completed
• Competitive cost of production, with approximately 100 years of natural gas reserves in U.S. and 800
Tcf of North American natural gas producible below $3.00/MMBtu
Supply/demand fundamentals support continued LNG demand growth worldwide
• Approximately 30% increase in global natural gas demand forecast by 2030
• Global LNG trade grew 7.5% in 2016 to 263.6 mtpa
• Estimated LNG demand growth of more than 200 mtpa/year to 465 mtpa in 2030
• 39 countries imported LNG in 2016, with 4 market entrants during the year
Premier LNG provider with a proven track record and low-cost advantage
Expansion opportunities for future cash flow growth at attractive return hurdles
• Uncontracted incremental production available to Cheniere Marketing
• Construction of additional LNG trains
• Two trains fully permitted (Corpus Christi T3, Sabine Pass T6), with one partially commercialized (Corpus Christi T3)
• Significant expansion opportunities at both sites leveraging infrastructure and expertise
Investments in additional infrastructure along the LNG value chain

Henry Hub Oil Parity (Brent) Cheniere Share Price (LNG)
LNG Share Price and Commodity Prices
Henry Hub prompt month natural gas price is range-bound
Henry Hub indexed LNG contracts are inherently less volatile
Fixed fees insulate Cheniere from long-term commodity fluctuations
$/MMBtu $/Share
Sustained low Henry Hub prices and volatility stimulate demand for
Cheniere’s LNG product and create a structural advantage

Market tightening
Cheniere Ideally Positioned to Capitalize on Tightening LNG Market
The global LNG market is expected to need new competitive supplies to fill the approaching
supply/demand gap
LNG projects under construction are not expected to be sufficient to satisfy demand and ensure
stability of prices; insufficient FIDs starting in 2015 present a risk to LNG buyers and an
opportunity for Cheniere
With significant fully-permitted LNG capacity backed by construction and operating credibility,
Cheniere is positioned to provide incremental low-cost supply of LNG

Began Midscale project evaluation in
early 2016
Reviewed 18 proposals from
potential contractors
KBR/Siemens/Chart Consortium
approved to continue with full FEED
and EPC proposal to be completed
September 2017
Initial capital cost estimates are
competitive with Corpus Train 3;
full lifecycle cost analysis is in
process
Midscale Project encompasses up to 7 LNG trains that could leverage existing sites and

Long-term Capital Structure Plan
30
Utilize leverage capacity at CQP and CEI (the corporate levels) to delever SPL and CCH
(the project levels) over the next 5-10 years
Debt incurrence test will force the deleveraging of SPL and CCH over time at 1.5x/1.4x DSCR
By migrating project debt up to CQP and CEI (subject to ≤ 5.0x decon. debt / EBITDA
constraint), project level debt amortization requirements can be pushed out to the mid to
late 2020s
Plan maximizes value to equity holders while adhering to indenture amortization requirements
at the project levels
Investment grade ratings at the project levels and strong high yield (“HY”) ratings (BB / Ba) at
the corporate levels can be achieved and maintained
This framework provides CEI significant free cash flow to invest and grow which can further
defer substantial debt pay down, while at the same time returning capital to shareholders via
share repurchases and/or dividends
By taking advantage of leverage capacity at the corporate levels, project level
debt amortization not required until the mid to late 2020s, even with no
growth beyond 7 trains

CQP Distribution Philosophy
43
CQP Class B units expected to convert and receive the Q3 distribution since Train 3
Substantial Completion has occurred
SPL and CQP to retain cash to ensure adequate SPL project funding and debt service
during construction (~$2.5bn of cash required to complete 5 train project)
Increase in expected distribution within next 12 months, then plan to hold steady until run-
rate period
Pre-Completion of SPL T1-5
Contracted cash flows: target distribution coverage of approximately 1.0x
CMI margins: will vary over time, target distribution coverage greater than 1.0x to steadily
smooth out distributions
CQP will aim to achieve a run-rate steady distribution in the early 2020s
May retain cash to fund additional SPL growth
Post-Completion of SPL T1-5
CQP to maintain robust coverage of SPL project costs, debt service and CMI margins
while facilitating ultimate goal of returning cash to unitholders

New LNG Investment Considerations
46
Fundamentals that have evolved for Cheniere
Strong cash flows from first trains and corporate debt capacity enable flexibility
• Portfolio management with contract ladder versus long-term only
• Attractive foundation contracts with investment grade counterparties allow for initially higher
leverage levels
High performance levels and focus on first quartile operating performance allow CMI the
ability to optimize excess capacity
• Train FID conditions precedent not necessary for new firm contracts
• Marketing arm has flexibility to sell short, medium or long-term deals either FOB or DES
Investment parameters going forward
Investment grade at the asset level is important
Targeting a benefit to cost ratio of 1 within 10 years for discretionary capital investment on
a contractual basis
Assume conservative contracting levels for unsold capacity at FID to meet cost of capital
Retain flexibility to firm up / re-contract unsold capacity opportunistically to exceed cost of
capital
Target no more than ~20% and no less than ~5% of portfolio excess LNG capacity remains
open
Key Takeaways
47
Cheniere’s first mover advantage and successful financial and operational
execution have Cheniere well placed for the next wave of new LNG build
No debt maturities until 2020
First three trains online ahead of schedule; remaining trains on time and on budget
Two world-class LNG sites with room to grow
1
Long-term balance sheet strategy creates 7-10 year run-way to reinvest cash flow
to grow and de-lever the business
No material debt amortization required
Project DSCR metrics of 1.4x/1.5x and 5.0x corporate debt/EBITDA sustainable
New trains financed with operating cash flow can de-lever balance sheet and push out
amortization requirements
2
Robust cash flow generation will enable Cheniere to both fund growth and return
capital to shareholders
Cheniere will generate significant free cash flow: ~$4.0 billion of cash available over next five
years
Projected returns via share repurchases will be benchmark against capital allocation
decisions
Opportunities may arise over time to reduce complexity of corporate structure
3
Cheniere’s significant operational and commercial advantages along with its brownfield siting and
financial flexibility enable Cheniere to add substantial LNG capacity over the next five years

EIG Notes Conversion
CCH Holdco II Notes (EIG Notes) convert into ~20mm LNG shares in 2020 at estimated $94 / share
(ultimate principal balance of ~$1.7bn)
• Conversion at a 10% discount to LNG’s share price
• Only 50% of the EIG Notes can be converted at initial conversion and subsequent conversions cannot occur for 90
days after conversion date
RRJ Notes Conversion
CEI Convertible Unsecured Notes (RRJ Notes) convert into ~15mm LNG shares in 2020 at estimated $94 /
share (ultimate principal balance of ~$1.4bn)
Class B Conversion
CQP Class B units owned by Blackstone convert to ~200mm common units in Q3 2017
CQP Class B units owned by CEI/CQH convert to ~90mm common units in Q3 2017
As of December 31, 2016, CEI’s and CQH’s federal NOL carryforwards are equal to $3.8 billion and $1.7
billion, respectively
CQH tax sharing payments to CEI occur prior to CEI-level taxes
• CQH’s NOL will be exhausted before CEI’s NOL which causes incremental free cash flow to CEI

Incremental supply Forecast
Source: Cheniere interpretation of Wood Mackenzie data (Q4 2016)
LNG projects have long lead times from sanction to first LNG – generally 4-6 years
Long lead time to new supply means once the market is tight it will take 4+ years for supply
to adjust

U.S. natural gas is abundant and cost competitive with other sources of global supply
U.S. Gulf Coast liquefaction project costs are also significantly lower due to less project
development needed and access to affordable and skilled labor
Estimated delivered LNG cost to Asia from Cheniere expansion trains is competitive
compared to other proposed new build LNG projects in Asia, Canada, Australia and Africa

Global LNG demand doubled since 2004 and is expected to grow at similar rates to 2030
Asian markets will continue to anchor new LNG capacity, but focus changing
Europe to play a growing role in balancing the market; its reliance on LNG expected to
increase to manage declining domestic supplies, variability in pipeline imports and incent
solid fuel displacement

Proposed
= ~40, ~100 MTPA capacity
Price environment, technological solutions and LNG availability encouraging access
• New importing markets and emerging new players entering the market creating a more diversified
buyer pool with need for more tailored, creative structures
FSRUs playing a key role
• Of the 24 new LNG markets since 2005 (first FSRU), 14 were enabled by FSRUs
• Reduced infrastructure = lower capital cost & faster time to market (6-7 months at Ain Sukhna, Egypt)
Sources: Cheniere Research, Wood Mackenzie, IHS Markit
*Ordered/Available includes FSRUs currently in use as trading vessels and firm shipyard orders
Key Takeaways
70
Despite robust supply growth in the near term, the global LNG market is expected
to rebalance and start tightening from 2020
1
Market Remains Cyclical but Cheniere Positioned as Most Responsive
New competitive supply capacity needs to be sanctioned soon to replace maturing
supply and satisfy forecasted demand growth post-2020
2
Largest demand wedge expected from price sensitive markets in emerging
economies, especially in Asia
3
Current low price environment is increasing demand growth and FSRU solutions
accelerate LNG access for new markets and new entrants
4
Expiration of contracts creates additional demand in mature markets 5
Cheniere offers buyers cost-competitive, flexible and reliable supplies 6

Liquefaction Capacity
115
How do we define nominal production capacity?
Nominal production capacity is the approximate expected capacity before adjustments,
which include:
• Planned maintenance
• Reliability
• Over design
• Debottlenecking
• Process conditions
Are the adjustments the same for Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi?
Most of the adjustments are expected to be similar except planned maintenance
Is capacity the same every year?
Capacity for each train varies year to year mainly due to the amount of planned
maintenance
• Planned maintenance is driven mainly by turbine maintenance
• Minor variations due to reliability or weather conditions may occur

Performance Versus 115% of HH
How do we measure performance?
Performance is measured as a percentage to LNG Produced (%)
• Defined as the percentage of feed gas utilized, converted to condensate, or lost plus realized price in
the supply and transportation of feed gas and production of LNG versus the total LNG produced
• Initial allocation of 15% based on the 115% of HH; 5% for supply and 10% for facility usage
What drives the performance?
Gas supply
• Transportation fuel usage
• Losses in transportation
Facility
• Weather
• Startups and shutdowns
• Equipment performance
What performance is expected on a volumetric basis?
Based on early results, facility is expected to average ~9% to 9.5%
Supply is expected to average ~1% to 1.7%, not including price advantages
117
Facility Maintenance
Maintenance requirements for a liquefaction facility
• Refrigerant turbines, compressors and ancillary equipment package represents the majority of
maintenance
• Covered by a Contractual Services Agreement (CSA) with GE
• Pipeline quality gas and no front end liquids removal unit reduce maintenance
• Process is clean and non-corrosive so equipment and piping have long service life
• No dedicated upstream facilities such as liquids removal units, gathering systems or wells
• Maintenance CAPEX is greatly reduced
GE CSA covers planned maintenance on the refrigerant gas turbines, compressor and
ancillary equipment
• Cost is a fixed fee and is included in the operations and maintenance expenditures
• Includes repair and replacement of wear parts and major components
• 6-year full maintenance cycle which includes replacement of full turbine and wear parts on
compressors

APPENDIX
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
125
Regulation G Reconciliations
In addition to disclosing financial measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the accompanying presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Contracted EBITDA, Distributable
Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Distributable Cash Flow per Unit are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. These non-
GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for our U.S. GAAP measures of performance and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from
these results should be carefully evaluated.
EBITDA / Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is computed as net income (loss) before net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest (for CEI), interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA
represents EBITDA, adjusted for certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and other items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, as detailed in the
following reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the effectiveness of our operating performance in a manner
that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as
interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization which vary substantially from company to company depending on capital structure, the method by which assets were acquired and depreciation policies. Further,
the exclusion of certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance enables comparability to prior period
performance and trend analysis.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, interest expense, net of capitalized interest, changes in
the fair value and settlement of our interest rate derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusting for the effects of certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items, and other items
not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, including the effects of modification or extinguishment of debt, impairment expense, changes in the fair value of our commodity and FX
derivatives and non-cash compensation expense. We believe the exclusion of these items enables investors and other users of our financial information to assess our sequential and year-over-year performance and
operating trends on a more comparable basis and is consistent with management’s own evaluation of performance.
Contracted EBITDA represents the EBITDA generated from production sold to contracted SPA foundation customers, CMI deals in the book and the related lifting margin and is calculated by net income (loss) before
net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest (for CEI), interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe Contracted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management, investors
and others users of our financial information in evaluating how lenders and the rating agencies calculate debt metrics. Contracted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss)
as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Distributable Cash Flow
For Cheniere Energy, Inc., Distributable Cash Flow is defined as cash received from its ownership and interests in CQP, CQH and CCH, cash received (used) by its CMI segment (other than cash for capital
expenditures) less interest, taxes and maintenance capital expenditures associated with Cheniere Energy, Inc. and not the underlying entities. Management uses this measure and believes it provides users of our
financial statements a useful measure reflective of our business’s ability to generate cash earnings to supplement the comparable GAAP measure. DCF per share is DCF divided by average outstanding common
shares.
For Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations. CQP defines Distributable Cash Flow as net income,
adjusted for certain non-cash items, less maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of
assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and deferred
income taxes. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities includes unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments (excluding lower of cost or
market adjustments).
Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Distributable Cash Flow per Unit are calculated by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding.
We believe Distributable Cash Flow is a useful performance measure for management, investors and other users of our financial information to evaluate our performance and to measure and estimate the ability of
our assets to generate cash earnings after servicing our debt, paying cash taxes and expending sustaining capital, that could be used for discretionary purposes such as common stock dividends or common unit
distributions, as applicable, stock repurchases, retirement of debt, or expansion capital expenditures. Management uses this measure and believes it provides users of our financial statements a useful measure
reflective of our business’s ability to generate cash earnings to supplement the comparable GAAP measure. Distributable Cash Flow is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as
defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We are unable to reconcile forecasted or run rate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Contracted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow per Share and Distributable Cash Flow per Unit to net income
(loss) attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable measure under GAAP, because we have not made any forecast of net income beyond the current year. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an
analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or in lieu of an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, and should be evaluated only on a supplementary basis.
