Cheniere Energy raised its full-year financial outlook October 29 and announced a quarterly dividend increase of more than 12% alongside third-quarter results.
The liquefied-natural-gas exporter reported revenue of $6.17 billion and net income of approximately $1.17 billion for the three months ended September 30. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $1.90 billion, and distributable cash flow was $1.23 billion.
Those adjusted earnings and cash-flow measures are separate from reported net income.
Cheniere now forecasts annual consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $8.75 billion–$9.25 billion, compared with its earlier $7.90 billion–$8.40 billion range. Its distributable cash-flow forecast increased to $6.05 billion–$6.55 billion from $5.30 billion–$5.80 billion.
The board declared a dividend of 62.5 cents per common share, payable November 17 to shareholders recorded November 9. The previous quarterly payment was 55.5 cents.
During the third quarter, Cheniere repurchased approximately 2.8 million shares for $731 million, paid $114 million in dividends and invested about $740 million in growth capital.
The revised guidance describes management’s expectations for the full year, rather than completed annual results.
