Rhea AI CQP FY2025

Cheniere Energy Partners operates as an asset-heavy cash generator, with debt reduction and tight short-term liquidity shaping durable profitability.

From FY2024 to FY2025, revenue increased 23.6% while free cash flow declined 8.7%, indicating that the rebound did not translate proportionally into cash generation. Gross margin compression from 58.9% to 52.2% reinforces that the business produced less cash per revenue dollar even as reported profit increased.

Long-term debt fell from $17.2B in FY2021 to $14.2B in FY2025, showing balance-sheet deleveraging despite the asset-heavy model. Equity moved from -$509M to $414M over FY2024-FY2025, restoring positive book capitalization but not erasing leverage.

Capital spending was $199M in FY2025 versus operating cash flow of $2.8B, so annual reinvestment consumed a relatively small portion of internally generated cash. However, the current ratio was only 0.8x, meaning cash generation coexists with a tight short-term working-capital posture.

Profitability
85

Cheniere Energy has an operating margin of 34.4%, meaning the company retains $34 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 85/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 37.7% the prior year.

Growth
60

Cheniere Energy's revenue surged 23.6% year-over-year to $10.8B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 60/100.

Leverage
22

Cheniere Energy has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 34.21), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 22/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
21

Cheniere Energy's current ratio of 0.78 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 21/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Returns

Earnings Quality Mixed
0.93x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Cheniere Energy generates $0.93 in operating cash flow ($2.8B OCF vs $3.0B net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage Adequate
4.92x

Cheniere Energy earns $4.92 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($3.7B vs $753.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
