IRVING, Texas, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) today reported its second quarter 2024 financial results and other highlights.

"The Vistra team continued to execute throughout the second quarter, and we are pleased to report strong results despite continued mild summer weather in Texas and lower wholesale prices across competitive markets. This stability showcases our team's ability to perform in a variety of market conditions," said Jim Burke, president and chief executive officer of Vistra. "Based on our performance year-to-date and the projections we see for the balance of the year, we're confident that we will achieve Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA results toward the upper end of our guidance range for 2024. Additionally, given our strong hedge profile and the recent PJM capacity auction results, we are increasing the range of our midpoint opportunity for 2025 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA by $200 million to $5,200 million to $5,700 million. We believe the strength of our business model, through the combination of a best-in-class retail business with a large, diversified generation fleet, enables durable results for years to come."

Burke continued, "While the team continues to deliver consistent operating and financial results, we also remain focused on executing our long-term growth initiatives. We've started construction on two new solar facilities, a 200 MW site backed by Amazon in Texas and a 405 MW site backed by Microsoft in Illinois. In addition, assuming successful implementation of market reforms, proper market signals, and other factors, we are planning to develop up to 2,000 MW of gas-fueled electric capacity in our home state to enhance grid reliability for customers."

Burke concluded, "We see the financial strength of our business, and by extension, our ability to deliver shareholder returns, growing over time – even with the elevated forward price volatility the market has seen in recent months. With critical summer months ahead, our team remains focused on safe operations and delivering reliable, affordable, and sustainable power to our customers."

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Vistra reported Net Income of $467 million, Net Income from Ongoing Operations¹ of $492 million, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $1,414 million. Net Income for the second quarter 2024 decreased $9 million from the second quarter 2023, driven primarily by higher depreciation and interest expense partially offset by operating income generated from the acquisition of Energy Harbor. Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2024 increased by $406 million compared to the second quarter 2023 driven primarily by the inclusion of results from the acquisition of Energy Harbor, favorable commercial optimization of the fleet, and strong retail margins and customer count performance in Texas.

Guidance

($ in millions)	2024 Vistra Guidance Ranges
Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA	$4,550 - $5,050
Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG	$2,200 - $2,700

As of Aug. 5, 2024, Vistra has hedged approximately 94% of its expected generation volumes for the balance of 2024, approximately 86% for 2025, and approximately 55% for 2026. Vistra's comprehensive hedging program, as well as recent forward price curves, support the company's 2024 guidance range, although we see results trending toward the upper end of the range. Our comprehensive hedging program, as well as the recent PJM Auction results for the 2025/2026 planning year, support our increase in the potential Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA midpoint opportunity for 2025. Vistra now estimates a potential midpoint opportunity for Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 to be in the range of $5,200 million to $5,700 million. We are reiterating our estimate for the potential midpoint opportunity for Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 to be more than $6,000 million. Both our Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2024, as well as our Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA midpoint opportunities for 2025 and 2026, exclude any potential contribution from the nuclear production tax credit. However, we believe the nuclear production tax credit will provide downside Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA support. See footnote 2 for a discussion on Non-GAAP reconciliations.

Share Repurchase Program

As of Aug. 5, 2024:

Vistra executed ~$4.25 billion in share repurchases since November 2021.
Vistra had ~344 million shares outstanding, representing a ~29% reduction of the amount of the shares outstanding on Nov. 2, 2021.

Vistra expects to spend at least $2.25 billion on share repurchases throughout 2024 and 2025.

Clean Energy Investments

Vistra is focused on reliability, affordability, and sustainability in the markets in which we operate. Vistra continues to grow its fleet of zero-carbon resources, advancing these interests through cost-effective, strategic investments in solar and battery storage developments and through the acquisition of Energy Harbor's nuclear fleet.

On March 1, 2024, Vistra closed on the acquisition of Energy Harbor, which added more than 4,000 MW of nuclear generation to its portfolio along with approximately 1 million additional retail customers.

On July 30, 2024, Vistra announced the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved its request to extend Comanche Peak's operating licenses through 2050 for Unit 1 and 2053 for Unit 2, an additional 20 years beyond the original licenses. Additionally, Perry Nuclear Power Plant's application for a 20-year license renewal through 2046 is under review with the NRC and advancing as expected.

The Inflation Reduction Act is anticipated to provide opportunities to realize material benefits to Vistra with respect to its renewables and energy storage projects, as well as provide strong price support via the nuclear production tax credit for its nuclear facilities, including those acquired through the Energy Harbor acquisition.

Today, Vistra announced two new power purchase agreements, together totaling over 600 MW, with two of the world's leading tech companies - one for 200 MW with Amazon in Texas and one for 405 MW with Microsoft in Illinois.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, Vistra had total available liquidity of approximately $3,853 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1,624 million, $959 million of availability under its corporate revolving credit facility, and $1,270 million of availability under its commodity-linked revolving credit facility. Available capacity under the commodity-linked revolving credit facility reflects the borrowing base as of June 30, 2024. Available liquidity excludes $305 million of commitments under the commodity-linked revolving credit facility that were not available to be drawn as of June 30, 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 Midpoint opportunities are not intended to be guidance and represent only our estimate of potential opportunities for Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 and 2026 based on market curves as of Aug. 5, 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 2025 and 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 periods. Midpoint opportunities exclude any potential benefit from nuclear production tax credit.

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 believes 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 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.
