What has changed since the last report

The main new investor signal is the raised full-year outlook. Cheniere now expects Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of USD 8.75 billion to USD 9.25 billion, compared with the previous range of USD 7.90 billion to USD 8.40 billion. Distributable Cash Flow guidance was increased from USD 5.30 billion to USD 5.80 billion to USD 6.05 billion to USD 6.55 billion.

The quarterly dividend was raised by more than 12 percent to USD 0.625 per common share. The payment is scheduled for November 17 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9.

Operating performance and investor context

Quarterly revenue increased 39 percent from USD 4.44 billion in the year-earlier period, while net income attributable to Cheniere rose 12 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 18 percent. Cheniere said the quarterly improvement reflected higher total margins on LNG delivered, driven by higher volumes recognized in income and higher margins per MMBtu.

The nine-month picture remains more mixed: net income attributable to Cheniere was USD 736 million, compared with USD 3.03 billion a year earlier. The company attributed the decline primarily to USD 3.6 billion of unfavorable derivative fair-value variances, predominantly linked to long-term Integrated Production Marketing agreements. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month period nevertheless rose 23 percent to USD 6.04 billion.
