Cheniere Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results and Reconfirms 2022 Financial Guidance
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”) (NYSE American: LNG) today announced its financial results for the third quarter 2022.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $2.8 billion and $8.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Distributable Cash Flow1 of approximately $2.0 billion and $6.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Net loss2 of approximately $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
- Reconfirming full year 2022 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance of $11.0 – $11.5 billion and full year 2022 Distributable Cash Flow1 guidance of $8.1 – $8.6 billion, each of which were increased by ~$1.2 billion in September 2022.
- During the three months ended September 30, 2022, Cheniere prepaid over $1.3 billion of consolidated long-term indebtedness, repurchased an aggregate of approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $75 million, and paid a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.33 per share on August 12, 2022.
- In October 2022, substantial completion of the third marine berth at the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal was achieved.
- In October 2022, Cheniere joined the United Nations Environment Programme’s Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (“OGMP”) 2.0, a comprehensive, measurement-based reporting framework intended to improve the accuracy and transparency of methane emissions reporting in the oil and gas sector. Joining OGMP 2.0 is consistent with and enhanced by Cheniere’s climate strategy initiatives, including the Company’s collaborative programs to quantify, monitor, report, and verify (QMRV) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the supply chain with natural gas suppliers, midstream companies, shipping companies, and academic institutions.
- In September 2022, Cheniere announced that its Board of Directors approved a revised comprehensive, long-term capital allocation plan designed to maintain investment grade credit metrics through cycles, further return capital to shareholders over time, and continue to invest in accretive organic growth. Cheniere expects to generate over $20 billion of available cash through 20263 and construction of the CCL Stage 3 Project (defined below), enabling further execution on its balance sheet, capital return and growth priorities. As part of the revised plan, Cheniere increased its share repurchase authorization by $4.0 billion for an additional three years, beginning October 1, 2022, lowered its consolidated long-term leverage target to approximately 4.0x, and increased its quarterly dividend by 20% beginning in the third quarter of 2022, targeting a ~10% annual dividend growth rate through the construction of the CCL Stage 3 Project.
- In September 2022, Moody’s Corporation upgraded its issuer credit ratings of Cheniere, Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (“Cheniere Partners”) (NYSE American: CQP) and Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (“SPL”) from Ba3, Ba2 and Baa3, respectively, to Ba1, Ba1 and Baa2, respectively, with a stable outlook. Additionally, in September 2022, Fitch Ratings upgraded its issuer credit ratings of Cheniere Partners and SPL from BB+ and BBB-, respectively, to BBB- and BBB, respectively, with a stable outlook.
- In August 2022, certain subsidiaries of Cheniere initiated the pre-filing review process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) under the National Environmental Policy Act for the CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project (defined below).
- Since June 30, 2022, Cheniere’s subsidiaries signed new long-term contracts representing an aggregate of over 60 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) through 2050:
- In July 2022, Cheniere Marketing, LLC (“Cheniere Marketing”) entered into a long-term LNG sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with PetroChina International Company Limited (“PCI”), a subsidiary of PetroChina Company Limited. Under the SPA, PCI has agreed to purchase up to approximately 1.8 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) of LNG from Cheniere Marketing on a free-on-board (“FOB”) basis. Deliveries under the SPA will begin in 2026, reach the full 1.8 mtpa in 2028, and continue through 2050. The purchase price for LNG under the SPA is indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee. Half of the total volume, or approximately 0.9 mtpa, is subject to Cheniere making a positive Final Investment Decision (“FID”) to construct additional liquefaction capacity at the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal beyond the seven-train CCL Stage 3 Project.
- In July 2022, Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC (“CCL”) entered into a long-term LNG SPA with PTT Global LNG Company Limited (“PTTGL”), under which PTTGL has agreed to purchase 1.0 mtpa of LNG from CCL for 20 years beginning in 2026. The SPA calls for a combination of FOB and delivered ex-ship deliveries. The purchase price for LNG under the SPA is indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee.
CEO COMMENT
“The Cheniere team continued to fire on all cylinders throughout the third quarter, as evidenced by our strong quarterly earnings, confirmation of our recently revised 2022 guidance, and the implementation of our ‘20/20 Vision’ long-term capital allocation plan,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our demonstrated success throughout our organization continues to position Cheniere as a leader in the global LNG market and would not be possible without our team’s relentless dedication to safe and reliable operations.”
“Our confidence in a strong finish to 2022 and optimism looking ahead to 2023 is underpinned by our achievements across the Cheniere organization. Our market leading LNG platform continues to grow, with Substantial Completion recently achieved on the third marine berth at Sabine Pass, and Bechtel well underway on the execution of Corpus Christi Stage 3. We look forward to reinforcing our reputation on execution and bringing much-needed new LNG supply to the market from Corpus Christi Stage 3 beginning in late 2025.”

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased approximately $1.7 billion and $4.9 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to increased margins per MMBtu of LNG and to a lesser extent from increased volumes of LNG delivered.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was also positively impacted by the recognition of a portion of the $765 million lump-sum payment expected to be made by Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (“Chevron”) during calendar year 2022 related to the early termination of the Terminal Use Agreement (“TUA”) between Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. and Chevron.
Net loss was approximately $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to approximately $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion in the corresponding 2021 periods. The unfavorable change for both comparable periods was primarily due to an increase in derivative losses from changes in fair value and settlements of approximately $2.2 billion and $6.0 billion, respectively (before tax and non-controlling interests). The unfavorable change for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also reflects a lower contribution from margins on sales of physical gas as compared the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These decreases were partially offset by increased margins per MMBtu of LNG and increased volumes of LNG delivered for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, in addition to the recognition of a portion of the lump-sum payment related to the early termination of the TUA with Chevron.
Substantially all derivative losses relate to the use of commodity derivative instruments indexed to international gas and LNG prices, primarily related to our long-term integrated production marketing (“IPM”) agreements. While operationally we seek to eliminate commodity risk by utilizing derivatives to mitigate price volatility for commodities procured or sold over a period of time, as a result of the significant appreciation in forward international gas and LNG price curves during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $5.0 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively, of non-cash unfavorable changes in fair value attributable to such positions (before tax and non-controlling interests).
Our IPM agreements are designed to provide stable margins on purchases of natural gas and sales of LNG over the life of the agreement and have a fixed fee component, similar to that of LNG sold under our long-term, fixed fee LNG SPAs. However, the long-term duration and international price basis of our IPM agreements make them particularly susceptible to fluctuations in fair market value from period to period. In addition, accounting requirements prescribe recognition of these long-term gas supply agreements at fair value, but do not currently permit fair value recognition of the associated sale of LNG, resulting in a mismatch of accounting recognition for the purchase of natural gas and sale of LNG.
Share-based compensation expenses included in net loss totaled $36 million and $114 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $28 million and $91 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
Our financial results are reported on a consolidated basis. Our ownership interest in Cheniere Partners as of September 30, 2022 consisted of 100% ownership of the general partner and a 48.6% limited partner interest.
