IRVING,
Texas, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vistra Corp.
(NYSE: VST) today reported its third quarter 2024 financial
results and other highlights.
"I'm proud of another strong quarter of execution and
performance by the Vistra team," said Jim
Burke, president and chief executive officer of Vistra. "Our
integrated model, which combines retail and generation with a
strong commercial acumen, continues to deliver results for our many
stakeholders. This is not only evident in the strength of our third
quarter results, which were achieved despite milder Texas weather compared to 2023, but also in
our improved outlook for both 2024 and 2025."
Burke continued, "We were pleased this quarter to announce the
pending acquisition of the 15% minority interest in Vistra Vision
for a net present value cash purchase price of approximately
$3.1 billion2, which will
increase our shareholders' ownership of our zero-carbon nuclear,
energy storage, and solar generation assets, as well as our
high-performing retail business. This transaction allows us to
simplify our overall structure at an attractive valuation,
significantly exceeding our mid-teens levered returns threshold,
all while continuing to execute on our capital allocation
priorities and invest in our core markets. I am proud of our team's
work, and I look forward to the deal closing at the end of this
year."
Burke concluded, "We continue to see opportunities for both
growth and capital return, in line with our four key strategic
priorities. We are making progress on our plans to develop up to
2,000 MW of gas-fueled generation capacity as we evaluate the
implementation of market reforms and the trajectory of forward
prices. Our capital return program continues to deliver value,
having returned over $5.4 billion
since the program was originally announced in November 2021. We look forward to delivering on
our 2024 goals and beginning to execute on our 2025
priorities."

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Vistra reported
Net Income of $1,837 million, Net Income from Ongoing
Operations1 of $1,855
million, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA1
of $1,444 million. Net Income for the
third quarter 2024 increased $1,335
million from the third quarter 2023, driven primarily by
unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative positions and the
addition of Energy Harbor. Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for
the third quarter 2024 decreased by $169
million compared to the third quarter 2023, driven primarily
by lower margins in Texas due to
less summer scarcity pricing and higher retail supply costs
(relative to third quarter 2023), partially offset by the inclusion
of results from the acquisition of Energy Harbor.

As of September 30, 2024, Vistra
has hedged approximately 100% of its expected generation volumes
for the balance of 2024, approximately 96% for 2025, and
approximately 64% for 2026. Vistra's comprehensive hedging program,
as well as recent forward price curves, support both the company's
updated 2024 guidance ranges and the initiated 2025 guidance
ranges. We are reiterating our estimate for the potential midpoint
opportunity for Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA3 for
2026 to be more than $6,000 million.
Our Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2024 and 2025,
and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA midpoint opportunity for
2026, exclude any potential contribution or benefit from the
nuclear PTC.4
Share Repurchase Program
As of November 4, 2024:
- Vistra executed ~$4.58 billion in
share repurchases since November
2021.
- Vistra had ~340 million shares outstanding, representing a ~30%
reduction of the amount of the shares outstanding on November 2, 2021.
- Vistra's Board of Directors authorized an additional
$1.0 billion of share repurchases. As
of November 4, 2024, ~$2.2 billion 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 third quarter, the company advanced its
efforts in solar, energy storage, and nuclear by:
- Securing two power purchase agreements at new solar facilities,
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.
- Growing its ownership interest in nuclear by entering into an
agreement to acquire the entire 15% minority interest in its Vistra
Vision subsidiary, which will make Vistra the sole owner of its
highly valuable, carbon-free assets. This acquisition will increase
our nuclear ownership by ~970 MW and our solar and energy storage
ownership by ~200 MW.
- Announcing that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
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.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, Vistra had total available
liquidity of approximately $3,995
million, including cash and cash equivalents of $905 million, $2,457
million of availability under its corporate revolving credit
facility, and $633 million of availability under its
commodity-linked revolving credit facility. Available capacity
under the commodity-linked revolving credit facility reflects the
borrowing base of $633 million and
excludes $942 million of commitments
under the commodity-linked revolving credit facility that were not
available to be drawn as of September 30, 2024. The revolving
credit facility was amended in October
2024 which, among other things, increased the revolving
credit commitments by $265 million to
$3.440 billion and extended the
maturity date to October 11, 2029.
The commodity-linked facility was amended in October 2024, increasing the aggregate
commitments by $175 million to
$1.75 billion and extending the term
to October 2025.
Earnings Webcast
Vistra will host a webcast today, November 7, 2024, beginning at 10 a.m. ET (9 a.m.
CT) to discuss these results and related matters. The live
webcast and the accompanying slides that will be discussed on the
call can be accessed via Vistra's website at www.vistracorp.com
under "Investor Relations" and then "Events & Presentations."

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.

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 November 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
periods.

|
4 Assuming an
interpretation of the definition of "gross receipts" which excludes
hedges pending U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service guidance,
as of Nov. 4, 2024, the PTC could contribute ~$500 million to 2024
Adj. EBITDA, and should provide downside Ongoing Operations
Adjusted EBITDA support in 2025.

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.
