Cheniere Energy Inc. said it earned less for its LNG during the second quarter as lower global natural gas prices and smaller gains on its derivatives cut into margins.

Mild weather and stronger storage inventories helped push the Japan-Korea Marker 24% lower year-over-year in the second quarter to an average of $9.56/MMBtu. The Title Transfer Facility fell 16% over the same time to an average of $9.58, Cheniere said.

The company earned less even though it loaded 155 cargoes, or 552 TBtu of liquefied natural gas during the second quarter. That was up from 149 cargoes, or 534 TBtu in the year-ago period.
