Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. reported first‑quarter 2026 net income of $186 million, down from $641 million a year earlier, as non‑cash losses on long‑term derivative contracts outweighed stronger operations. Revenue rose to $3.6 billion from $3.0 billion, driven mainly by higher Henry Hub‑linked LNG pricing.
Total operating costs increased to $3.2 billion, reflecting an $826 million unfavorable fair value change on integrated production marketing agreements and higher natural gas feedstock prices, partly offset by savings on unutilized gas. Cash from operating activities improved to $910 million from $665 million, while capital spending remained modest at $31 million and $253 million of debt was repaid.
At quarter‑end, the partnership held $2.1 billion of available liquidity and $14.3 billion of senior notes outstanding.
