For the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, Vistra reported Net Income of $2,812 million, Net Income from Ongoing Operations¹ of $2,928 million, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $5,656 million. Net Income for the full-year 2024 increased $1,320 million from the full-year 2023, driven primarily by unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative positions, the addition of Energy Harbor, and an increase in revenues due to estimated nuclear production tax credits (PTC) recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024. Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for the full-year 2024 increased by $1,516 million compared to the full-year 2023, driven primarily by the inclusion of results from the acquisition of Energy Harbor and an increase in revenues due to estimated nuclear PTC recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Guidance

($ in millions)	Reaffirmed 2025 Guidance Ranges
Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA	$5,500 - $6,100
Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG	$3,000 - $3,600

As of Feb. 24, 2025, Vistra had hedged approximately 100% of its expected generation volumes for 2025 and approximately 80% for 2026. Vistra's comprehensive hedging program supports the company's reaffirmed 2025 guidance ranges and its previously announced Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA midpoint opportunity³ for 2026. Vistra is anticipating the 2026 midpoint opportunity to be more than $6,000 million.

Share Repurchase Program

As of Feb. 24, 2025:

Vistra executed ~$4.9 billion in share repurchases since Nov. 2021.
Vistra had ~338.9 million shares outstanding, representing a ~30% reduction of the amount of the shares outstanding on Nov. 2, 2021.
~$1.9 billion dollars of the share repurchase authorization remains available, which we expect to complete by year end 2026.

Clean Energy Investments

Vistra continues to grow its fleet of zero-carbon resources, advancing these interests through cost-effective, strategic investments. During the fourth quarter, the company advanced its efforts in solar, energy storage, and nuclear by:

Executing its renewable development pipeline, bringing online the first two projects that are part of its Illinois Coal to Solar & Energy Storage Initiative at Baldwin (70 MW) and Coffeen (46 MW), revitalizing retired and to-be-retired coal plant sites.
Growing its ownership interest in nuclear by closing on an agreement to acquire the entire 15% minority interest in its Vistra Vision subsidiary, making Vistra the sole owner of its highly valuable, carbon-free assets. This acquisition increases our nuclear ownership by ~970 MW and our solar and energy storage ownership by ~200 MW.

Liquidity

As of Dec. 31, 2024, Vistra had total available liquidity of approximately $4,121 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1,188 million, $2,162 million of availability under its corporate revolving credit facility, and $771 million of availability under its commodity-linked revolving credit facility. Available capacity under the commodity-linked revolving credit facility reflects the borrowing base of $771 million and excludes $979 million of commitments under the facility that were not available to be drawn as of Dec. 31, 2024.

1 Ongoing Operations excludes the Asset Closure segment. Net Income (Loss) from Ongoing Operations, Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth are non-GAAP financial measures. Any reference to "Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG" is a reference to Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth. See the "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables for further detail. Total segment information may not tie due to rounding.

2 Ongoing Operations Adj. EBITDA includes our estimated nuclear production tax credit (PTC) of $545 million. Ongoing Operations Adj. FCFbG does not include any benefit from the nuclear PTC. Original 2024 guidance excluded any benefit from the nuclear PTC.

3 Midpoint opportunities are not intended to be guidance and represent only our estimate of potential opportunities for Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA in 2026 based on market curves as of Nov. 4, 2024. Actual results could vary and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors, including power price market movements and our hedging strategy. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA opportunities for 2026 to GAAP net income (loss) because we cannot, without unreasonable effort, calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability, complexity, and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA in such out year period.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability

"Adjusted EBITDA" (EBITDA as adjusted for unrealized gains or losses from hedging activities, tax receivable agreement impacts, reorganization items, and certain other items described from time to time in Vistra's earnings releases), "Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth" (or "Adjusted FCFbG") (cash from operating activities excluding changes in margin deposits and working capital and adjusted for capital expenditures (including capital expenditures for growth investments), other net investment activities, and other items described from time to time in Vistra's earnings releases), "Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA" (adjusted EBITDA less adjusted EBITDA from Asset Closure segment), "Net Income (Loss) from Ongoing Operations" (net income less net income from Asset Closure segment), and "Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth" or "Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG" (adjusted free cash flow before growth less cash flow from operating activities from Asset Closure segment before growth) are "non-GAAP financial measures." A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in Vistra's consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Vistra's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Vistra uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance and believes that analysis of its business by external users is enhanced by visibility to both Net Income prepared in accordance with GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA. Vistra uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth as a measure of liquidity and performance, and believes it is a useful metric to assess current performance in the period and that analysis of capital available to allocate for debt service, growth, and return of capital to stockholders is supported by disclosure of both cash provided by (used in) operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth. Vistra uses Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance and Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth as a measure of liquidity and performance, and Vistra's management and board of directors have found it informative to view the Asset Closure segment as separate and distinct from Vistra's ongoing operations. Vistra uses Net Income (Loss) from Ongoing Operations as a non-GAAP measure that is most comparable to the GAAP measure Net Income in order to illustrate the company's Net Income excluding the effects of the Asset Closure segment, as well as a measure to compare to Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA. The schedules attached to this earnings release reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
