This Current Report on Form 8-K, dated January 12, 2026, covers the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE: VG) operates LNG export facilities, specifically Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines. The filing details operational volumes, realized liquefaction fees, and an update to full-year 2025 financial guidance.
Key Financial and Operational Metrics
The filing provides operational metrics rather than GAAP financial statements (net income, cash flow, and debt figures are not disclosed in this report).
| Metric | Q4 2025 Total | Calcasieu Pass | Plaquemines |
|---|---|---|---|
| LNG Cargos Exported | 128 | 38 | 90 |
| LNG Sales Volume (TBtu) | 478.3 | 140.1 | 338.2 |

Note: The Calcasieu Pass fee includes adjustments for estimated arbitration reserves. One DES cargo exported from Plaquemines in Q4 will be recognized in the subsequent quarter.
Material Changes and Operational Drivers
- Market Conditions: Volume and pricing were impacted by fluctuations in Henry Hub and International LNG prices, as well as limited vessel availability in the Atlantic basin.
- Operational Mitigation: The Company pulled forward scheduled maintenance late in the quarter and utilized its owned and chartered shipping fleet to mitigate tight shipping markets.
- Outlook: Forward pricing for February and March 2026 has improved from year-end levels.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Guidance Update: Due to unusual factors impacting performance measures in Q4 2025, Venture Global is reducing and tightening its full-year 2025 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $6.180 billion to $6.240 billion.
Management Commentary: The Company notes that the disclosed volume and fee metrics are not sole indicators of quarterly financial results. Full GAAP results, including net income and cash flow, will be announced with the fourth-quarter earnings report.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers regarding risks related to project development, construction schedules, LNG sales expectations, and cost estimates. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income due to the difficulty in forecasting necessary adjustments.
