Cheniere Energy reported its third‑quarter 2025 results, showing revenue of $14.5 billion for the nine‑month period ended September 30 and $4.44 billion for the quarter, a 29% and 18% increase respectively. Net income attributable to the company rose to $1.049 billion in the quarter, up 17% from $893 million a year earlier, and $3.0 billion for the nine months, a 33% increase from $2.3 billion. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA grew 8% to $1.6 billion in the quarter and $4.9 billion for the nine months, while distributable cash flow reached $1.6 billion in the quarter and $3.8 billion for the nine months. The company shipped 163 LNG cargoes, totaling 586 TBtu, a 3% increase over the prior year.
The earnings improvement was driven by higher LNG volumes and stronger margins per MMBtu, as well as favorable changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that boosted net income. The company also benefited from revised IRS rules on the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, which deferred certain cash tax obligations and enabled a higher distributable cash‑flow outlook.
The company confirmed the accelerated ramp‑up of its Corpus Christi Stage 3 liquefaction project, with substantial completion of Train 3 on October 24 2025, ahead of the original schedule. The completion of the first three trains positions the facility to increase export capacity and supports the company’s long‑term growth strategy.
Cheniere raised its full‑year 2025 guidance, projecting consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 billion to $7.0 billion and distributable cash flow of $4.8 billion to $5.2 billion. The higher guidance reflects continued demand strength, disciplined capital allocation, and the tax‑rule changes that improve cash‑flow generation.
The company also increased its quarterly dividend to $0.555 per share, a 10% rise, and repurchased approximately 4.4 million shares for $1.0 billion, underscoring its commitment to returning value to shareholders.
