LNG Remaining Fixed-Fee Revenue is Cheniere's estimate of remaining fixed-fee LNG revenue under qualifying contracts at the reporting date.

Cheniere reported $107.7 billion in 2025.

Fixed fees were about 37.1% of the two disclosed remaining-revenue components

Remaining variable-fee revenue was $182.9 billion.

Together the two estimates total approximately $290.6 billion, with fixed fees representing about 37.1% and variable fees about 62.9%.

The fixed component is the less commodity-sensitive layer

The contractual structure generally requires the fixed liquefaction fee on reserved capacity even when deliveries are canceled or suspended, subject to contract terms.

Use LNG Fixed Liquefaction Fee for the fee mechanics.

This is undiscounted contractual revenue, not backlog value

The $107.7 billion estimate is not present value, profit, EBITDA, or free cash flow.

Counterparty credit, timing, operating performance, contract changes, and discounting all matter before translating contractual revenue into economic value.

Where this concept fits

Fee structure and remaining contract valueCurrent relationship
Fixed liquefaction fees provide capacity-linked contractual economics, variable fees primarily track Henry Hub-linked feedgas costs, and remaining fixed and variable fee revenue show the scale of future contractual consideration under Cheniere's stated assumptions. Regasification capacity remains a separate import-terminal capability.

Capacity and contract coverage
Total and under-construction liquefaction capacity show the physical production envelope, while contracted-production percentage and weighted-average contract life show how much anticipated output is covered by long-duration customer agreements.

Physical loading, delivery, and revenue recognition
Loaded, in-transit, and recognized volumes bridge physical cargo activity to accounting timing, while long-term, short-term, and third-party procured volumes and revenues separate owned-project contract sales from marketing and externally sourced LNG.
