Strong Financial Performance: Venture Global reported a remarkable 105% year-over-year increase in revenue to $2.9 billion and a 94% increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA to $1.3 billion compared to Q1 2024. Income from operations rose by 75% to $1.1 billion, highlighting the efficiency of operations and significant growth in LNG exports, which reached a record 234 TBtu.
Expanded Production Capacity and Projects: The company successfully exported 34 commissioning cargoes from the Calcasieu Pass project and achieved its commercial operation date on April 15, 2025. With the Plaquemines project also showing strong performance, producing LNG at approximately 140% of nameplate capacity, Venture Global anticipates having 54 operational liquefaction trains by the end of 2025, indicating a sharp increase in output capacity.
Guidance Revision and Market Sensitivity: Venture Global revised its consolidated adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2025 to a range of $6.4 billion to $6.8 billion, a significant update reflecting ongoing contracting efforts. The guidance indicates a reduced sensitivity to price movements in natural gas as the company locks in more long-term contracts, with expected fixed liquefaction fees between $6 to $7 per MMBtu.
