Summary

Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE: VG) reported second-quarter 2025 results in an 8-K furnished on August 12, 2025, with a conference call scheduled for August 13, 2025.
Revenue for the quarter was $3.1 billiona, up 180% from Q2 2024. Income from operations was $1.0 billion (up 186%), and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 billion (up 217%). Net income attributable to common stockholders was $0.4 billion, up 21%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income attributable to common stockholders declined 20% to $764 millionb, as non-cash unfavorable changes in interest rate swaps of $854 million and higher interest expense of $247 million offset higher operating income. The company exported a record 89 cargos (331 TBtu) in the quarter. Total assets were $46.5 billion, up $11.4 billion from June 30, 2024.
The company reiterated its full-year 2025 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $6.4 billion to $6.8 billionc. It now expects 144 to 149 cargos from the Calcasieu Project and 227 to 240 cargos from the Plaquemines Project in 2025, and expects total cargos at the high end of its prior 367 to 389 range. Sensitivity to fixed liquefaction fees narrowed: a $1.00/MMBtu change now affects full-year Adjusted EBITDA by $230 million to $240 million, versus $460 million to $480 million previously.
Management assumes a fixed liquefaction fee range of $6.00 to $7.00d/MMBtu for remaining unsold 2025 cargos. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company reached final investment decision on Phase 1 of the CP2 Project and the associated CP Express Pipeline following a $15.1 billion project financing closed on July 28, 2025.
It also executed several 20-year sales and purchase agreements, including with PETRONAS, SEFE and Eni, and Plaquemines LNG closed a $4.0 billion senior secured notes offering. S&P Global Ratings upgraded the Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC bonds to BBB-.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Did Venture Global change its 2025 financial guidance?
No. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance for full-year 2025 remains $6.4 billion to $6.8 billion. The company updated its cargo export expectations and reduced the sensitivity of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed liquefaction fee changes to $230 million to $240 million per $1.00/MMBtu.
Why did net income decline for the six months ended June 30, 2025, even though operating results improved?
The filing attributes the six-month net income decline of 20% primarily to non-cash unfavorable changes in interest rate swaps of $854 million and higher interest expense of $247 million. These offset higher income from operations of $1.1 billion, driven mainly by higher LNG sales volumes at Plaquemines.
How is the CP2 Project being financed and what are its near-term milestones?
Venture Global reached final investment decision on Phase 1 of the CP2 Project and the associated CP Express Pipeline on July 28, 2025, with the successful closing of a $15.1 billion project financing. The CEO stated the project was moved forward without the issuance of incremental equity, and first LNG production is expected in 2027.
What progress has Plaquemines made in ramping production?
With 28 of 36 liquefaction trains at the Plaquemines Project now producing LNG, the company expects total cargos across its projects to be at the high end of its previous guidance range of 367 to 389 cargos for 2025. Plaquemines LNG also closed a $4.0 billion senior secured notes offering on July 3, 2025.
