Variable Interest Entities
Note 7 — Variable Interest Entities
Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, Train 5 Holdings, and their wholly owned subsidiaries were established to construct and operate Phase 1, Train 4, and Train 5 of the Rio Grande LNG Facility, respectively. The Company is not obligated to fund their losses.
The equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Additionally, through agreements with NextDecade LLC, the Company holds decision-making rights over construction and key operational aspects of Phase 1 LLC, Train 4 LLC, and Train 5 LLC, which agreements can only be terminated by equity holders for cause. Based on these factors, the
Company holds a variable interest in Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, and Train 5 Holdings, and is their primary beneficiary, resulting in the consolidation of these entities in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following table presents the summarized combined assets and liabilities (in thousands) of Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, and Train 5 Holdings, which are included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets in the table below may only be used to settle the obligations of Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, and Train 5 Holdings, respectively. In addition, there is no recourse to NextDecade for the consolidated VIE’s liabilities. The assets and liabilities in the table below include only the assets and liabilities of Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, Train 5 Holdings, and their respective subsidiaries and exclude intercompany balances between Phase 1 Holdings, Train 4 Holdings, and Train 5 Holdings and NextDecade, which are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements of NextDecade.
