Note 1 -General
Venture Global, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed 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, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, whereas references to "Venture Global" refer to Venture Global, Inc., but not its subsidiaries.
The Company is a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") company engaged in the development, construction, ownership, and operation of LNG production facilities and associated infrastructure along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Venture Global's integrated business model spans natural gas supply, transportation, liquefaction, export, shipping and regasification, enabling the Company to deliver LNG to global markets.
The Company currently has multiple LNG projects at varying stages of operation, construction or development. 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. The Company is also developing expansion, or "bolt-on," projects at existing sites leveraging shared infrastructure under its standardized "design one, build many" development model. Our LNG projects include:
| Project Name | Stage of Development |
|---|---|
| Calcasieu Project | Operating |
| Plaquemines Project | Construction and Commissioning |
| Plaquemines Expansion Project | Development |
| CP2 Project | Construction |
| CP2 Expansion Project | Development |

Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying 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 2025 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 2, 2026 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). Except for per share amounts or as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.
The accompanying 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.
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.

Note 3 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The following table summarizes the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| LNG revenue | $4,575 | $2,880 |
| Other revenue | 24 | 14 |

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 for legally enforceable sales agreements that have not yet been satisfied, excluding all performance obligations of contracts that have an expected duration of one year or less (dollar amounts in billions):
| March 31, 2026 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Unsatisfied transaction price(a) | Weighted average recognition timing (in years) | |
| LNG revenue | $336.5 | 19.4 years |
(a) A portion of the transaction price is based on the forecasted Henry Hub index as of March 31, 2026.
Significant judgments were made when estimating the transaction price allocated to future performance obligations. These include i) 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 Phases 1 and 2 of the Plaquemines Project, respectively, and 2029 and 2030 for Phases 1 and 2 of the CP2 Project, respectively, and ii) reductions to the transaction price to reflect management's best estimate of variable consideration. This variable consideration relates to the pending disputes with Calcasieu Project post-COD SPA customers who are asserting that the Calcasieu Project was delayed in declaring COD under the respective post-COD SPAs.

| Accumulated depreciation | (1,985) | (1,736) | |
| Total property, plant and equipment, net | $49,754 | $46,588 |
(a)In the third quarter of 2025, the Company determined that it was reasonably certain to exercise certain options to renew various land leases thereby extending the remaining lease terms and therefore extended the estimated useful lives of the terminal assets previously constrained by the terms of the land lease to which they are affixed. This resulted in a $91 million reduction to depreciation expense, or $0.04 increase in basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026. See Note 6 – Leases for further discussion.
(b)Includes finance lease assets, buildings, and land, which does not depreciate. See Note 6 – Leasesfor further discussion.

Final Investment Decision ("FID") for Phase 2 of the CP2 Project
In March 2026, Phase 2 of the CP2 Project achieved FID. The Company obtained $8.6 billion in additional project financing to fund the development and construction of Phase 2 of the CP2 Project by amending and restating its CP2 Credit Facilities to upsize (i) the $11.3 billion CP2 Construction Term Loan by $7.9 billion and (ii) the $850 million CP2 Working Capital Facility by $750 million. This resulted in an aggregate amount of $20.7 billion under the CP2 Credit Facilities to fund a portion of the project costs for Phases 1 and 2 of the CP2 Project and select activities for the CP2 Expansion Project. In connection with the upsizing of the CP2 Credit Facilities, CP2 incurred debt issuance costs of $313 million primarily related to lender fees which are amortized over the term of the credit facility.
The CP2 Credit Facilities can be voluntarily prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.
Calcasieu Funding Credit Facility
In April 2026, Calcasieu Pass Funding, LLC ("Calcasieu Funding"), an indirect controlled subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $1.75 billion variable rate senior secured term loan B facility (the "Calcasieu Funding TLB Facility") due April 2033. A portion of the proceeds from the financing were used to redeem, in full, the $1.6 billion CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units, as defined and discussed in Note 14 – Redeemable Stock of Subsidiary, and pay costs incurred in connection with the offering. See Note 20 – Subsequent Events.

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, 2026, 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 $92 million as of March 31, 2026.
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 lead to a change in required collateral. The aggregate fair value of the Company's natural gas supply contracts with credit-risk related contingent features in a net liability position was $57 million. The Company posted $90 million of collateral associated with these credit-risk related contingent features in the form of letters of credit under the Calcasieu Pass Working Capital Facility as of March 31, 2026.

(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 9 – Derivatives.
Level 3 unobservable inputs
The Company determines the fair value of its natural gas supply contracts using either an income or options-based approach. This incorporates present value techniques using a risk free rate of return, observable forward commodity price curves, and may incorporate 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 natural gas supply contracts, which can result in a significantly higher or lower estimated fair value. See Note 9 – Derivativesfor further discussion.
The following table includes quantitative information for the unobservable inputs for Level 3 natural gas supply contracts as of March 31, 2026 (natural gas price amounts in dollars):
| 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(a) | $2.61 to $5.80 | $3.70 |
| Option pricing model | Volatility | 12.4% to 62.6% | 24.3% |

Note 11 –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 15.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and was different from the statutory income tax rate due to a combination of factors including stock option windfall tax benefits, the
Foreign-Derived Deduction-Eligible Income ("FDDEI") deduction, non-deductible expenses, and valuation allowance adjustments.
The Company's effective tax rate was 22.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and was different from 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.
Note 12 –Commitments and 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, 2026.
Disputes with certain customers under the Calcasieu Project's post-COD SPAs are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Note 3 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for discussion of certain disputes with customers.
Credit arrangements
The Company has entered into certain credit arrangements to secure the transportation and supply of natural gas, regasification capacity, and certain equity guarantees for the CP2 Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum undiscounted potential exposure associated with these arrangements was $825 million. This amount is not currently recognized as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. To date, no amounts have been drawn against these arrangements.
Note 13 –Equity
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. 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.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 200 million shares of preferred stock,4.4 billion shares of Class A common stock and 3.0 billion shares of Class B common stock authorized for issuance.
Note 14 –Redeemable Stock of Subsidiary
In August 2019, Calcasieu Funding, an indirect controlled subsidiary of the Company, issued 9 million redeemable preferred units (the "CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units"). The Redeemable Preferred Units incurred cumulative, quarterly distributions which were paid in cash or in-kind by increasing the face value of the Redeemable Preferred Units.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company declared a cash settlement of $42 million for the quarterly distribution and cash settlement of $67 million, or 356,067 units, for previously accrued distributions on the CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units. These declared settlements were recognized in accrued and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balances sheet as of March 31, 2026. There wereno cash settlements declared during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the change in redeemable stock of subsidiary on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |

| Ending balance as of March 31 | $1,629 | $1,567 |
(a)Presented as net income attributable to redeemable stock of subsidiary on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In April 2026, Calcasieu Funding redeemed in full the CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units, thereby removing the requirement to settle accrued distributions on the CP Funding Preferred Units prior to distributing available cash to VGLNG or its affiliates. See Note 8 – Debt and Note 20 – Subsequent Events for further discussion.
Note 15 –Non-Controlling Interests
VGLNG Series A Preferred Shares
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company accumulated dividends of $68 million, or $22.50 per share, and declared and paid dividends of $135 million, or $45.00 per share, on the VGLNG Series A Preferred Shares. The balance of accumulated but undeclared dividends was $1 million, or $0.25 per share and $68 million, or $22.75 per share, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Calcasieu Holdings
In August 2019, Calcasieu Pass Holdings, LLC ("Calcasieu Holdings"), an indirect controlled subsidiary of the Company, issued 4 million convertible preferred units (the "CP Holdings Convertible Preferred Units"), which represent third-party ownership in the net assets of Calcasieu Holdings.
Upon COD of the Calcasieu Project in April 2025, the CP Holdings Convertible Preferred Units converted into Class B common units of Calcasieu Holdings. This conversion was equal to approximately 23% of the total outstanding common units of Calcasieu Holdings, reducing the Company's common equity interest in the Calcasieu Project to approximately 77%.
Prior to COD, the CP Holdings Convertible Preferred Units paid a cumulative quarterly distribution recognized as net income attributable to non-controlling interests. Subsequent to COD, the Class B common units of Calcasieu Holdings are adjusted by the amount of earnings or other comprehensive income attributable to the Class B common unit ownership.

Note 19 –Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a description of a recently issued accounting pronouncement that has not yet been adopted as of March 31, 2026. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
| Standard | Description | Effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements |
|---|---|---|
| ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) | In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which enhances income statement disclosures. This requires public business entities to provide a tabular disclosure of relevant expense captions disaggregated into categories such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in the relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated and the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. | The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statement disclosures. |
