Rhea AI LNG FY2025 2026-05-07

Cheniere’s margin-rich earnings engine is now rebuilding equity while much of its cash is still absorbed by capex and buybacks.

In FY2025, free cash flow was only about a third of net income—$2.5B versus $6.8B. Because capital spending reached $3.1B, the business converted strong accounting profit into much less surplus cash, implying the latest year was more reinvestment-heavy and less distributable than the income statement alone suggests.

Over the past two years, debt-to-equity moved from 4.6x to 2.8x, a large shift for a company with substantial fixed obligations. Because equity also reached $7.9B, recent profitability is rebuilding the capital cushion instead of merely servicing debt or covering prior-period balance-sheet strain.

Latest-year liquidity is tighter than profitability alone implies, with the current ratio below 1.0x and cash down to $1.1B. Buybacks of $2.7B exceeded free cash flow, so cash was being actively returned and redeployed even while the company kept funding a heavy reinvestment cycle.
