Revenue climbed 30.2% year-over-year to $2.99 billion, clearing the $2.73 billion consensus estimate by 9.32%, as higher LNG revenue from both third-party and affiliate customers powered the surge. Earnings per unit came in at $1.08, however, missing the $1.12 analyst consensus by 3.77%, with net income slipping 6% to $641 million, weighed down by roughly $84 million in unfavorable fair-value swings tied to derivative instruments, including those linked to long-term Integrated Production Marketing agreements. Adjusted EBITDA rose 4% to $1.04 billion on stronger per-unit margins, even as LNG export volumes dipped modestly to 112 cargoes. Looking ahead, management reconfirmed full-year 2025 distribution guidance of $3.25 to $3.35 per common unit, anchored by a $3.10 base, while the SPL Expansion Project, targeting up to 20 mtpa of additional capacity, continues to advance through federal regulatory review.

Key Takeaways

  • Higher total margins per MMBtu of LNG delivered drove Adjusted EBITDA increase
  • 30% revenue growth year-over-year driven by higher LNG revenues
  • Unfavorable $84 million derivative fair value variances reduced net income year-over-year
