Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies

The Company may be involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including governmental and administrative investigations, inquiries and proceedings concerning employment, labor, environmental and other claims. The Company will recognize a loss contingency in the consolidated financial statements when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will disclose any loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized.

The Company’s LNG future purchase obligations are based on monthly Henry Hub natural gas futures, Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) futures, or Brent Crude pricing, times a fixed percentage or plus a contractual spread where applicable. Some obligations depend on supplier LNG facilities becoming operational. The following table summarizes the Company’s future LNG purchase and capacity obligations as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
