Fortuna Reports Results for the Second Quarter of 2025
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI) ('Fortuna' or the 'Company') today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2025.
(Results from the Company's San Jose and Yaramoko assets have been excluded from its Q2 2025 continuing results, along with the comparative figures, due to the classification of the assets as discontinued as at June 30, 2025.)

Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO of Fortuna, commented, 'Fortuna completed the second quarter with liquidity of more than half a billion dollars. Our strong balance sheet positions the Company to pursue growth opportunities under our control including the guided production expansion at the Séguéla Mine in 2026 and advancing to a construction decision at the Diamba Sud project in Senegal by the first half of 2026 following the completion of a PEA later this year.'
Mr. Ganoza continued, 'We delivered a total of 75,950 gold equivalent ounces1, keeping us firmly on track to meet annual production guidance. Higher realized gold prices in the quarter contributed to a record EBITDA1 margin of 55%. The higher consolidated AISC1 of $1,932 per ounce of gold in the quarter was primarily driven by the timing of capital expenditures and peak mine waste stripping at Séguéla during the second quarter and into the third. These investments are critical to achieving our annual target of 160 to 180 thousand gold ounces in 2026.'
Mr. Ganoza concluded, 'Looking into the second half of the year, we expect our mines to remain within annual AISC1 guidance. At Séguéla, AISC1, is projected to trend higher through the year due to planned mine waste stripping to access higher-grade material, but the full-year average is expected to remain well within guidance. In contrast, Lindero's AISC1, is expected to trend lower in the second half of the year as the leach pad expansion is now complete and peak stripping is behind us.'

Growth and Business Development
On August 5th the Company published an updated in-pit mineral resource estimation for the Diamba Sud project in Senegal, reporting an Indicated Mineral Resource of 724,000 gold ounces, and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 285,000 gold ounces (Indicated Mineral Resource of 14.2 Mt averaging 1.59 g/t Au containing 724,000 gold ounces, and Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.2 Mt averaging 1.44 g/t Au containing 285,000 gold ounces), reflecting 53 and 93 percent increase in resources for the project respectively since year-end 2024. This estimate incorporates initial resources from the newly discovered mineralization at the Southern Arc prospect. The Company is advancing the Diamba Sud project with parallel activities on environmental permits, engineering studies, and continued mineral exploration working towards a preliminary economic assessment in the fourth quarter of 2025. Refer to our news release 'Fortuna Advances Diamba Sud Gold Project in Senegal with Updated Mineral Resources; PEA Completion Targeted for Q4 2025' dated August 5, 2025.
The Company acquired 15% of Awale Resources who owns the Odienne project and other permits in a geologic corridor that is of interest to Fortuna in Côte d'Ivoire. Refer to our news release 'Fortuna Completes Strategic Investment in Awalé Resources Limited and Files Early Warning Report' dated June 11, 2025.
Yaramoko and San Jose Divestment
The Company received $83.8 million in gross proceeds during the quarter related to the divestment of our two short-life mines as part of an initiative to streamline the asset portfolio. Taken together, these two sales allow the Company to reallocate approximately $50.0 million in capital and management focus away from mine closures and toward higher-value opportunities that align more closely with our long-term strategy.

Second Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results
Second Quarter 2025 Results
Q2 2025 vs Q1 2025
Cash cost per ounce and AISC
Cash cost per GEO sold from continuing operations was $929 in Q2 2025, an increase compared to $866 in Q1 2025. The increase in cash costs was mostly related to lower gold equivalent ounces at Caylloma due to an increase in the gold price and the impact on the GEO calculation.
All-in sustaining costs per GEO from continuing operations was $1,932 in Q2 2025 compared to $1,752 in Q1 2025. The higher AISC is explained by the increase in cash cost as described above, higher capitalized stripping at Séguéla and timing of capital expenditure payments.
Attributable Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Attributable net income from continuing operations for the period was $42.6 million compared to $35.4 million in Q1 2025. After adjusting for impairment charges and other non-recurring items, adjusted attributable net income was $44.7 million or $0.15 per share compared to $35.7 million or $0.11 per share in Q1 2025. The increase was explained mainly by higher gold prices and higher gold sales volume. The realized gold price in Q2 2025 was $3,307 per ounce compared to $2,880 in Q1 2025. The increase in gold sales volume was due to higher gold production at Lindero. This was partially offset by the recognition of $17.5 million in withholding taxes related to the timing of local Board approvals for the repatriation of funds out of Côte d'Ivoire
Cash flow
Net cash generated by operations before working capital adjustments was $96.9 million or $0.32 per share. After adjusting for changes in working capital, net cash generated by operations for the quarter was $92.7 million compared to $89.0 million in Q1 2025, as higher sales in Q2 2025 as described above were partially offset by income tax payments of $36.4 million compared to $9.4 million in Q1 2025.
Free cash flow from ongoing operations in Q2 2025 was $57.4 million, a decrease of $9.3 million over the $66.7 million reported in Q1 2025. The decrease was due to higher tax payments described above and higher sustaining capital expenditures of $7.6 million.
Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024
Cash cost per ounce and AISC
Consolidated cash cost per GEO increased to $929, compared to $842 in Q2 2024. This increase was mainly driven by higher cash costs at Séguéla and lower gold equivalent ounces at Caylloma due to an increase in the gold price and the impact on gold equivalent ounces. The increase in cash cost at Séguéla was primarily due to lower head grade and higher stripping costs, consistent with the mine plan.
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
All-in sustaining costs per gold equivalent ounce from continuing operations increased to $1,932 in Q2 2025 from $1,641 in Q2 2024. This increase primarily resulted from the higher cash cost per ounce discussed above, increased royalties due to the higher gold price and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Attributable Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Attributable net income from continuing operations for the period was $42.6 million or $0.14 per share, compared to $21.3 million or $0.07 per share in Q2 2024. After adjusting for impairment charges and other non-recurring items, adjusted attributable net income was $44.7 million or $0.15 per share compared to $9.3 million or $0.03 per share in Q2 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher realized gold prices, which averaged $3,307 per ounce in Q2 2025 compared to $2,334 per ounce in Q2 2024, and higher sales volumes at Séguéla (up 15%) and Lindero (up 9%), driven by increased processed ore at both mines.
Other factors influencing adjusted net income compared to Q2 2024 included the recognition of $17.5 million in withholding taxes related to the timing of local board approvals for the repatriation of funds from Côte d'Ivoire.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation and depletion increased by $5.4 million to $48.3 million compared to $42.9 million in the comparable period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher ounces sold at Séguéla. Depreciation and depletion in the period included $18.1 million related to the purchase price allocation from the Roxgold acquisition.
Cash Flow
Net cash generated by operations for the quarter was $92.7 million compared to $37.4 million in Q2 2024. The increase is mainly explained by higher gold prices and higher gold volume sold at Séguéla and Lindero, and a lower negative change in working capital in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024.
Free cash flow from ongoing operations in Q2 2025 was $57.4 million, compared to $10.2 million reported in Q2 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher prices and metal sold as discussed above.

Séguéla Mine, Côte d'Ivoire
Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
During the second quarter of 2025, mine production totaled 340,426 tonnes of ore, averaging 3.33 g/t Au, and containing an estimated 36,482 ounces of gold from the Antenna, Ancien, and Koula pits. Movement of waste during the quarter totaled 5,194,192 tonnes, for a strip ratio of 15.3:1. Mining continued to be focused on the Antenna, Koula, and Ancien pits.
In the second quarter of 2025, Séguéla processed 429,184 tonnes of ore, producing 38,186 ounces of gold, at an average head grade of 3.00 g/t Au, a 16% increase and a 13.5% decrease, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Higher gold production was the result of higher tonnes processed due to, in part, intermittent power outages from April to early-July 2024, which resulted in the loss of 19 days of operating time for the mill. Mill throughput during the second quarter of 2025 averaged 210 t/hr, 36% above name plate capacity.
Cash cost per gold ounce sold was $670 for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $564 for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in cash costs was a result of higher mining costs due to higher stripping requirements in line with the mine plan, and higher processing costs incurred.
All-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,634 for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1,097 in the same period of the previous year. The increase for the quarter was primarily the result of higher cash costs and higher sustaining capital from higher capitalized stripping, higher sustaining leases from an increase in the mine fleet under contract, and advancement of the stage 3 tailings lift to support higher production at Séguéla, as well as higher royalties due to higher gold prices and a 2% increase in the royalty rate effective January 10, 2025.
Lindero Mine, Argentina
Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the second quarter of 2025, a total of 1,828,520 tonnes of ore were placed on the heap leach pad, with an average gold grade of 0.57 g/t, containing an estimated 33,219 ounces of gold. Ore mined was 1.32 million tonnes, with a stripping ratio of 2.3:1.
Lindero's gold production for the quarter was 23,550 ounces, comprised of 21,153 ounces in doré bars, 1,214 ounces contained in rich fine carbon, 72 ounces contained in copper precipitate, and 1,111 ounces contained in precipitated sludge. The increase in production during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was due to increase in ore placed on the pad; partially offset by lower grades.

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
The cash cost per ounce of gold for the quarter was $1,148 compared to $1,092 in the same period of 2024. The increase in cash costs was primarily due to higher fuel and explosive costs and additional rehandling to increase the tonnes placed on the pad.
AISC per gold ounce sold during Q2 2025 was $1,783 compared to $1,916 in Q2 2024. Lower AISC was primarily due to lower sustaining capital expenditures as the leach pad expansion was under construction in the previous quarter. The previous quarter also benefited from $2.5 million of investment gains from cross border Argentine pesos denominated bond trades compared to $nil in the current quarter.
As of June 30, 2025, the leach pad expansion project was completed, with minor close-out activities and demobilization now taking place.
Caylloma Mine, Peru
Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the second quarter of 2025, the Caylloma Mine produced 240,621 ounces of silver at an average head grade of 64 g/t, a 21% decrease when compared to the same period in 2024.
Lead and zinc production for the quarter was 8.9 million pounds and 12.9 million pounds, respectively. Head grades averaged 3.23% and 4.63%, a 16% decrease and a 3.5% decrease, respectively, when compared to the same quarter in 2024. Production was lower due to lower head grades and was in line with the mine plan.
The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold in the first quarter of 2025, was $15.16 compared to $13.94 in the same period in 2024. The higher cost per ounce for the quarter was primarily the result of lower silver production and the impact of higher realized silver prices on the calculation of silver equivalent ounce sold.

The all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of payable silver equivalent in the second quarter of 2025, increased 9% to $21.73, compared to $19.87 for the same period in 2024. The increase for the quarter was the result of higher cash costs per ounce and lower silver equivalent ounces due to higher silver prices and higher workers' participation costs.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company has disclosed certain financial measures and ratios in this news release which are not defined under the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and are not disclosed in the Company's financial statements, including but not limited to: all-in costs; cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining costs; all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold equivalent sold; all-in cash cost per ounce of gold sold; production cash cost per ounce of gold equivalent; cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; all-in cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; sustaining capital; growth capital; free cash flow from ongoing operations; adjusted net income; adjusted attributable net income; adjusted EBITDA and working capital.
These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by management to monitor and evaluate the Company's operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company's performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company's performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
To facilitate a better understanding of these measures and ratios as calculated by the Company, descriptions are provided below. In addition see 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures' in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the three months and six ended June 30, 2025 ('Q2 2025 MDA'), which section is incorporated by reference in this news release, for additional information regarding each non-IFRS financial measure and non-IFRS ratio disclosed in this news release, including an explanation of their composition; an explanation of how such measures and ratios provide useful information to an investor.

The calculation of All-in Sustaining Costs was adjusted in Q4 2024 to include blue-chip swaps in Argentina. Please refer to pages 28 and 29 of the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 for details of the change.
The calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Attributable Net Income were revised to no longer remove the income statement impact of right of use amortization and accretion and add back the right of use payments from the cash flow statement. Management elected to make this change to simplify the reconciliation from net income to adjusted net income to improve transparency and because the net impact was immaterial.
Where applicable the impact of discontinued operations have been removed from the comparable figures. The method of calculation has not been changed except as described above.

Cheniere also increased and extended its committed capital allocation targets, designed to maintain investment grade credit metrics through cycles, further return capital to shareholders, and continue to invest in accretive growth, as the Company expects to generate over $25 billion of available cash 3 through 2030 to reach over $25 per share of run-rate Distributable Cash Flow 2.

In June 2025, certain subsidiaries of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. ('Cheniere Partners') (NYSE: CQP) updated the SPL Expansion Project's (defined below) application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ('FERC') to reflect a two-phased project, inclusive of three liquefaction trains and supporting infrastructure, maintaining an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 million tonnes per annum ('mtpa') of LNG, inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities.

Commercial In May 2025, Cheniere Marketing, LLC ('Cheniere Marketing') entered into a long-term Integrated Production Marketing ('IPM') gas supply agreement with a subsidiary of Canadian Natural Resources Limited to purchase 140,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas at a price based on the Platts Japan Korea Marker ('JKM') less fixed LNG shipping costs and a fixed liquefaction fee for a term of 15 years, which is expected to commence in 2030. The LNG associated with this gas supply, approximately 0.85 mtpa, will be marketed by Cheniere Marketing. In August 2025, Cheniere Marketing entered into a long-term LNG sale and purchase agreement ('SPA') with JERA Co., Inc. ('JERA'), under which JERA has agreed to purchase approximately 1.0 mtpa of LNG from Cheniere Marketing on a free-on-board basis from 2029 through 2050.

'Our strong financial and operational results year-to-date, coupled with our constructive outlook and visibility for the remainder of the year, have enabled us to tighten our full year 2025 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow guidance ranges. For the remainder of the year, we are focused on growing our brownfield platform, bringing online new capacity at Corpus Christi ahead of schedule and on budget, and delivering results within our upwardly revised guidance ranges.' SUMMARY AND REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (in millions, except LNG data) Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 % Change 2025 2024 % Change Revenues $ 4,641 $ 3,251 43 % $ 10,085 $ 7,504 34 % Net income 1 $ 1,626 $ 880 85 % $ 1,979 $ 1,382 43 % Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 2 $ 1,416 $ 1,322 7 % $ 3,288 $ 3,095 6 % LNG exported: Number of cargoes 154 155 (1 )% 322 321 — % Volumes (TBtu) 550 553 (1 )% 1,159 1,155 — % LNG volumes loaded (TBtu) 550 552 — % 1,158 1,153 — % Net income 1 increased approximately $746 million and $597 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding 2024 periods. The increases were primarily attributable to approximately $873 million and $596 million of favorable variances related to changes in fair value of our derivative instruments, including the impact of derivative instruments related to our long-term Integrated Production Marketing ('IPM') agreements (before tax and non-controlling interests) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding 2024 periods. The increases were partially offset by higher provisions for income tax during both periods. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 2 increased approximately $94 million and $193 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding 2024 periods. The increases were primarily due to higher total margins per MMBtu of LNG delivered during the 2025 periods as compared to the corresponding 2024 periods. The increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses related to planned maintenance activities at both the SPL Project (defined below) and CCL Project (defined below), as well as new capacity from the CCL Stage 3 Project, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, in addition to lower contributions from certain optimization activities related to our vessel charter portfolio during both periods. Share-based compensation expenses included in net income totaled $49 million and $105 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $52 million and $92 million for the corresponding 2024 periods. Our financial results are reported on a consolidated basis. Our ownership interest in Cheniere Partners as of June 30, 2025 consisted of 100% ownership of the general partner and a 48.6% limited partner interest. BALANCE SHEET MANAGEMENT Capital Resources The table below provides a summary of our available liquidity (in millions) as of June 30, 2025: (1) $108 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our consolidated variable interest entities ('VIEs'). (2) $40 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents was held by our consolidated VIEs. Recent Key Financial Transactions and Updates In July 2025, Cheniere Partners issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.550% Senior Notes due 2035, and the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem $1.0 billion of the aggregate principal amount of SPL's 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026. In August 2025, the $1.25 billion Cheniere Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated to extend its maturity into 2030, reduce the rate of interest and commitment fees applicable thereunder, and make certain other changes to its terms and conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, SPL repaid the remaining $300 million in principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 with cash on hand.

In June 2025, the SPL Expansion Project's FERC application was updated to reflect a two-phased project, inclusive of three liquefaction trains and supporting infrastructure, maintaining an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 mtpa of LNG, inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures Regulation G Reconciliations Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA The following table reconciles our Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income attributable to Cheniere $ 1,626 $ 880 $ 1,979 $ 1,382 Net income attributable to non-controlling interests 271 282 586 619 Income tax provision 426 210 547 319 Interest expense, net of capitalized interest 237 257 466 523 Loss on modification or extinguishment of debt — 9 — 9 Interest and dividend income (31 ) (47 ) (68 ) (108 ) Other expense (income), net 1 (3 ) (19 ) (2 ) Income from operations $ 2,530 $ 1,588 $ 3,491 $ 2,742 Adjustments to reconcile income from operations to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA: Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense 329 304 641 606 Gain from changes in fair value of commodity and foreign exchange ('FX') derivatives, net (1) (1,479 ) (606 ) (917 ) (321 ) Total non-cash compensation expense 35 33 72 65 Other operating costs and expenses 1 3 1 3 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,416 $ 1,322 $ 3,288 $ 3,095 ________________ (1) Change in fair value of commodity and FX derivatives prior to contractual delivery or termination Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our Consolidated Financial Statements to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe Consolidated 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 financial and operating performance. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income attributable to Cheniere before net income attributable to non-controlling interests, interest expense, net of capitalized interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, 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, gain or loss on disposal of assets, changes in the fair value of our commodity and FX derivatives prior to contractual delivery or termination, and non-cash compensation expense. The change in fair value of commodity and FX derivatives is considered in determining Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA given that the timing of recognizing gains and losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of the related item economically hedged. 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. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow The following table reconciles our actual Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to Net income attributable to Cheniere for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and forecast amounts for full year 2025 (in billions): 2025 2025 2025 Net income attributable to Cheniere $ 1.63 $ 1.98 $ 3.1 - $ 3.4 Net income attributable to non-controlling interests 0.27 0.59 1.2 - 1.2 Income tax provision 0.43 0.55 0.9 - 1.0 Interest expense, net of capitalized interest 0.24 0.47 0.9 - 0.9 Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense 0.33 0.64 1.3 - 1.3 Other income, financing costs, and certain non-cash operating expenses (1.47 ) (0.93 ) (0.8 ) - (0.7 ) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $ 1.42 $ 3.29 $ 6.6 - $ 7.0 Interest expense, net of interest income, capitalized interest and amortization (0.19 ) (0.35 ) (0.8 ) - (0.8 ) Maintenance capital expenditures (0.06 ) (0.09 ) (0.2 ) - (0.2 ) Income tax (excludes deferred taxes) (1) (0.02 ) (0.11 ) (0.1 ) - 0.0 Other income (expense) (0.02 ) (0.06 ) (0.1 ) - (0.1 ) Consolidated Distributable Cash Flow $ 1.13 $ 2.68 $ 5.4 - $ 6.0 Distributable Cash Flow attributable to non-controlling interests (0.20 ) (0.48 ) (1.0 ) - (1.2 ) Cheniere Distributable Cash Flow $ 0.92 $ 2.19 $ 4.4 - $ 4.8 ________________ Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding. (1) Our cash tax payments are subject to commodity and market volatility, regulatory changes and other factors which could significantly impact both the timing and amount of our future cash tax payments. Our 2025 full year Distributable Cash Flow guidance reflects current tax law and does not consider any prospective changes to local, domestic or international tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application. Our actual results could differ materially from our guidance due to such risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth in Risk Factors or as disclosed under Operating Cash Flows in Sources and Uses of Cash within Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Cheniere Energy, Inc. Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Distributable Cash Flow is defined as cash generated from the operations of Cheniere and its subsidiaries and adjusted for non-controlling interests. The Distributable Cash Flow of Cheniere's subsidiaries is calculated by taking the subsidiaries' EBITDA less interest expense, net of capitalized interest, taxes, maintenance capital expenditures and other non-operating income or expense items, and adjusting for the effect of certain non-cash items and other items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, including the effects of modification or extinguishment of debt, amortization of debt issue costs, premiums or discounts, impairment of equity method investment and deferred taxes. Cheniere's Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of Cheniere's wholly-owned subsidiaries. For subsidiaries with non-controlling investors, our share of Distributable Cash Flow is calculated as the Distributable Cash Flow of the subsidiary reduced by the economic interest of the non-controlling investors as if 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow were distributed in order to reflect our ownership interests and our incentive distribution rights, if applicable. The Distributable Cash Flow attributable to non-controlling interests is calculated in the same method as Distributions to non-controlling interests as presented on our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) in our Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This amount may differ from the actual distributions paid to non-controlling investors by the subsidiary for a particular period. 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 considered for deployment by our Board of Directors pursuant to our capital allocation plan, such as by way of common stock dividends, stock repurchases, retirement of debt, or expansion capital expenditures 1. Distributable Cash Flow is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
