Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE: VG) reported first-quarter 2025 results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, furnishing its earnings press release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Revenue was $2.9 billiona, up 105% from Q1 2024, and income from operations was $1.1 billion, up 75%. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $396 million, down 39% from $648 million a year earlier, which the company attributes largely to non-cash unfavorable changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.3 billion ($1,346 million), up 94%.

The company exported a record 234 TBtu of LNG, with higher volumes and higher LNG sales prices driving the margin gains. Operationally, Calcasieu Pass commenced Commercial Operations on April 15, 2025, and has delivered cargos on schedule to all foundational customers. Eighteen Phase 1 liquefaction trains at Plaquemines demonstrated production of approximately 140%b of nameplate capacity.

For CP2, the U.S. Department of Energy authorized exports to non-FTA nations on March 19, 2025, the project closed a $3.0 billionc credit facility from 20 banks on May 1, 2025, and FERC issued a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on May 9, 2025. Venture Global updated its 2025 guidance, lowering Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to $6.4 billion to $6.8 billion. The company cited compressed spreads between domestic and international gas and LNG prices, and it now assumes a fixed liquefaction fee of $6.00 to $7.00/MMBtu for remaining unsold 2025 cargos.

Each $1.00d/MMBtu change in fixed liquefaction fees is now expected to affect 2025 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by $460 million to $480 million, down from $625 million to $675 million previously. The company expects to export 145 to 150 cargos from Calcasieu Pass and 222 to 239 cargos from Plaquemines in 2025.
