Note 1 –General
The Company
Venture Global is a Delaware corporation formed by the managing members of VG Partners on September 19, 2023. As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Venture Global and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company sells LNG and is engaged in the operation, construction, and development of natural gas liquefaction and export facilities in North America ("LNG projects"). Each LNG project includes a liquefaction facility and export terminal and one or more associated pipelines that interconnect with several interstate and intrastate pipelines for delivery of natural gas into the associated liquefaction facility and export terminal. Our current LNG projects include the Calcasieu Project, the Plaquemines Project, the CP2 Project, the CP3 Project and the Delta Project.
The Company is also engaged in the acquisition and operation of LNG tankers to deliver its LNG directly to customers through its direct sales and shipping business ("DS&S")and ispursuing opportunities to secure additional LNG regasification capacity. In addition, the Company is engaged in the development and construction of pipeline infrastructure projects to establish complementary gas transportation for its development projects.
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the 2024 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025 (the "2024 Form 10-K"). Except for per share amounts or as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Venture Global, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Stock Split
On January 27, 2025, and in connection with the completion of its IPO, the Company effectuated an approximately 4,520.3317-for-one forward stock split of its Class A common stock. All Class A common stock share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split. See Note 14 – Equityfor further discussion of the IPO.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows | $4,034 | $4,614 |
Note 3 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The following table summarizes the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers:
| Three months endedMarch 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| LNG revenue | $2,880 | $1,408 |
| Other revenue | 14 | 6 |
| Total revenue | $2,894 | $1,414 |
LNG produced prior to the relevant project or phase thereof reaching COD is sold under short-term sales agreements at prevailing market prices when executed. LNG Commissioning Sales Agreements are contracted with customers through the Company's LNG projects and its DS&S business. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not yet declared COD for any of its LNG projects or phases thereof, and accordingly, LNG revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was earned under LNG Commissioning Sales Agreements. The Company declared COD for the Calcasieu Project on April 15, 2025. See Note 21 – Subsequent Events for further discussion.
Transaction price allocated to future performance obligations
Because many of the Company's sales contracts have long-term durations, the Company is contractually entitled to significant future consideration which it has not yet recognized as revenue. The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price, including variable consideration, that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied, excluding all performance obligations that are part of contracts that have an expected duration of one year or less (dollar amounts in billions):
| March 31, 2025 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Unsatisfied transaction price(a) | Weighted average recognition timing (in years) | |
| LNG revenue | $182.9 | 19.6 years |
(a) A portion of the transaction price is based on the forecasted Henry Hub index as of period end.
Significant judgments were made when estimating the transaction price allocated to future performance obligations. These include the best estimate of when the Company's respective projects will reach COD and the post-COD SPAs will commence, which is currently expected to occur in 2026 and 2027 for the first and second phases of the Plaquemines Project, respectively, and the most likely amount of variable consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled upon the resolution of certain ongoing disputes with customers. These disputes are with various Calcasieu Project post-COD SPA customers who are asserting that the Calcasieu Project was delayed in declaring COD under the respective SPAs. These disputes are subject to aggregate liability limitations of $1.6 billion under the SPAs. Certain of the Company's customers are also disputing whether the liability limitations in the Company's SPAs are applicable, and therefore are claiming damages, including amounts in excess of the liability limitations. The Company's estimates of variable consideration exclude decreases to the transaction price for these contingent penalties based on the Company's best estimate of the most likely outcome of these disputes. The Company expects this variability to be resolved in 2025 and 2026 upon the conclusion of various arbitration proceedings.

| Derivative liabilities | (86) | 5 | (81) | (39) | 12 | (27) |
Credit-risk related contingent features
The interest rate swap agreements contain cross default provisions whereby if the Company were to default on certain indebtedness, it could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations and may be required to net settle the outstanding derivative liability positions with its counterparties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. The aggregate fair value of the Company's interest rate swap derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features in a net liability position was $4 million as of March 31, 2025.
Natural gas supply contracts
Certain natural gas supply contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features which stipulate that if the Company's credit ratings were to change, it could be required to provide additional collateral. As of March 31, 2025, the Company would not be required to post any collateral related to these contracts if the credit-risk related contingent features were triggered, as the delivery of the underlying commodity had yet to commence. The aggregate fair value of the Company's natural gas supply contracts with credit-risk related contingent features in a net liability position was $35 million as of March 31, 2025.

(a)Included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(b)Included in derivative assets and noncurrent derivative assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(c)Included in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 and determined using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates observable inputs. The fair value calculation includes a credit valuation adjustment and forward interest rate curves for the same periods of the future maturity dates of the interest rate swaps. For further discussion, see Note 10 – Derivatives.
Level 3 unobservable inputs
The Company values its natural gas supply contracts using an income or options-based approach. This incorporates present value techniques using a risk free rate of return, observable forward commodity price curves, and other significant unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs include implied forward curves at illiquid delivery locations and, if an option pricing model is used, volatility assumptions derived from observed historical market data adjusted for evolving industry conditions and market trends as of the balance sheet date as well as counterparty credit risk adjustments.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding these inputs, certain natural gas supply contracts are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Changes in these inputs can have a significant impact on the valuation of the Company's commodity derivatives, which can result in a significantly higher or lower estimated fair value. For further discussion, see Note 10 – Derivatives.
The following table includes quantitative information for the unobservable inputs for Level 3 natural gas supply contracts as of March 31, 2025:
| Valuation approach | Significant unobservable input | Range of significant unobservable input | Arithmetic average of significant unobservable input |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discounted cash flow | Forward natural gas price per MMBtu | $1.52 to $4.87 | $3.19 |
| Option pricing model | Volatility | 26.2% to 77.8% | 30.9% |
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2025. There were no derivative instruments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2024.

Note 12 –Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate, plus discrete items. The Company's effective tax rate was 22.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and was higher than the statutory income tax rate due to a combination of factors including non-deductible expenses and valuation allowance adjustments caused by a change in the realizability of certain deferred tax assets.
The Company's effective tax rate was 20.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and was lower than the statutory income tax rate due to a combination of factors including guaranteed payments to non-controlling interests and non-deductible expenses.
As of March 31, 2025, VGLNG and Calcasieu Holdings, subsidiaries of the Company, were under exam by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2022 tax year.
Note 13 -Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is involved in certain claims, suits, and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for litigation and claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance that these accrued liabilities will be adequate to cover all existing and future claims or that the Company will have the liquidity to pay such claims as they arise.
Where no accrued liability has been recognized, it is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company. This could require the Company to pay damages or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but could not be estimated as of March 31, 2025.
See Note 3 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for discussion of certain disputes with customers.
Note 14 –Equity
IPO and related transactions
On January 27, 2025, the Company completed its IPO in which it issued and sold 70 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. The Company received proceeds of $1.7 billion, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $70 million and offering expenses of $10 million.
In connection with the IPO, the Company effectuated an approximately 4,520.3317-for-one forward stock split of its Class A common stock. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Stock Split of the Class A common stock. Subsequent to the Stock Split, and prior to the completion of the IPO, all shares of Class A common stock held by VG Partners, approximately 1.97 billion shares, were converted into an equal number of shares of Class B common stock.
Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement for the IPO, the Company's board of directors and stockholders adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan, under which it granted stock options to purchase approximately 14 million shares of its Class A common stock with an exercise price of $25.00 per share to certain of its employees. The IPO Grants have a 10-year contractual term and vest in equal quarterly installments over afour-year period. The total number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, including the IPO Grants, is approximately 172 million, and is subject to annual automatic evergreen increases thereafter.
Preferred and common stock
The Company's Class A common stock hasone vote per share and its Class B common stock hasten votes per share. The par value of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock is $0.01 per share.

Following COD of the Calcasieu Project and the final distribution of the net proceeds from sales under LNG Commissioning Sales Agreements, but prior to August 19, 2027, no distributions of available cash will be permitted from Calcasieu Funding to VGLNG until any accumulated accrued distributions on the CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units have been fully settled in cash. Further, on and after August 19, 2027, no distributions of available cash will be permitted from Calcasieu Funding to VGLNG until the CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units have been fully redeemed in cash. In this context, available cash means funds in excess of cash deemed necessary by management to fund the Calcasieu Project's operating costs, including debt service requirements, during the relevant period. As of March 31, 2025, the CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units had a redemption value of $1.6 billion of which $667 million was related to accrued distributions. See Note 21 – Subsequent Events for further discussion of COD of the Calcasieu Project.
Note 16 –Non-Controlling Interests
VGLNG Series A Preferred Shares
VGLNG, a direct controlled subsidiary of the Company, issued 3 million VGLNG Series A Preferred Shares which represent third-party ownership in the net assets of VGLNG and have a cumulative net balance of $2.9 billion. The annual dividend rate on the VGLNG Series A Preferred Shares is currently 9.000%. Cumulative cash dividends on the VGLNG Series A Preferred Shares are payable semiannually, in arrears, when, and if, declared by the VGLNG board of directors.

Note 21 –Subsequent Events
On April 15, 2025, the Calcasieu Project declared COD and commenced the sale of LNG to its customers under its post-COD SPAs.
Upon COD, the CP Holdings Convertible Preferred Units converted into Class B common units of Calcasieu Holdings, equal to approximately 23% of the total outstanding common units of Calcasieu Holdings, or Holdings Common Units, reducing the Company's common equity interest in the Calcasieu Project to approximately 77%.
On April 21, 2025, VGPL (as borrower) and Gator Express (as guarantor) issued $2.50 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes, which were issued in two series: (i) a series of 7.50% senior secured notes due 2033 in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion (the “VGPL 2033 Notes”) and (ii) a series of 7.75% senior secured notes due 2035 in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion (the “VGPL 2035 Notes,” and together with the VGPL 2033 Notes, the “VGPL Notes”). In connection with the issuance, VGPL settled a pro rata portion of its interest rate swaps that hedged the variable interest on the Plaquemines Credit Facilities for cash proceeds of $275 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the VGPL Notes and the swap breakage proceeds were used to prepay $2.7 billion outstanding under the Plaquemines Construction Term Loan and pay costs incurred in connection with the offering. The VGPL Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by a first-priority security interest in the assets that secure the Plaquemines Credit Facilities.
On May 1, 2025, CP2 (as borrower), CP Express (as guarantor) and CP2 Procurement (as guarantor) entered into new secured bridge credit facilities, consisting of a $2.825 billion delayed draw bridge loan facility (the “CP2 Bridge Loan Facility”) and a $175 million three-year interest reserve facility (the “CP2 Interest Reserve Facility”, and together with the CP2 Bridge Loan Facility, the “CP2 Bridge Facilities”). The loans under the CP2 Bridge Facilities are due in full by the earliest of (i) May 1, 2028, (ii) the ninetieth (90 th) day following the occurrence of COD for the second phase of the Plaquemines Project, or (iii) the closing and disbursement of the initial loans under a FID project financing for the CP2 Project.
