IRVING, Texas, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) today reported its third quarter 2025 financial results and other highlights.

“Vistra wrapped up an active third quarter marked by disciplined growth and a focus on meeting customer needs across key markets, leading to several significant milestones,” said Jim Burke, president and CEO of Vistra. “In September we announced plans to move forward with two new natural gas power units, which together will add approximately 860 MW of capacity in the Permian to aid in meeting West Texas’ growing power needs, particularly as the oil and gas industry electrifies operations. Next, we entered into a 20-year PPA at our Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant that we expect will underwrite continued operations at the plant through the middle of this century. And most recently, we successfully closed the acquisition of seven natural gas plants, adding approximately 2,600 MW of capacity to our portfolio, furthering our capabilities across the Midwest, Northeast, and California markets. These announcements underscore our commitment to deliver solutions to meet the growing power demand needs while growing our earnings over the medium and long-term.”

“The Vistra team continues to execute on our core competency of operating a diverse generation fleet and providing power for our customers. We are committed to reliably powering homes and businesses across the United States, and we look forward to finishing the year strong,” Burke concluded.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Vistra reported Net Income of $652 million and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1,581 million. Net Income for the third quarter 2025 decreased $(1,185) million compared to the third quarter 2024, driven primarily by lower unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative positions with a decrease of $(1,671) million, and impacts of the Martin Lake Unit 1 outage, partly offset by the recognition of nuclear production tax credit (PTC) revenue and higher capacity prices. Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2025 increased by $143 million compared to the third quarter 2024, driven primarily by higher realized energy and capacity prices, and the recognition of nuclear PTC revenue, partly offset by the impacts of the Martin Lake Unit 1 outage.

As of October 31, 2025, Vistra had hedged approximately 98% of its expected generation volumes for 2025, approximately 96% for 2026, and approximately 70% for 2027. The company’s comprehensive hedging program supports the narrowed 2025 guidance ranges, the initiated 2026 guidance ranges, and the 2027 midpoint opportunity.

Share Repurchase Program

As of October 31, 2025:

  • Vistra executed ~$5.6 billion in share repurchases since November 2021.
  • Vistra had ~339 million shares outstanding, representing a ~30% reduction of the amount of the shares outstanding on Nov. 2, 2021.
  • Vistra’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $1.0 billion of share repurchases. ~$2.2 billion dollars of the share repurchase authorization remained available, which we expect to complete by year-end 2027.

Clean Energy Investments

Vistra continues to strategically and cost-effectively grow its fleet of zero-carbon resources, focusing on nuclear, solar, and energy storage. During the third quarter, the company advanced these efforts by:

  • Beginning construction on our Newton Solar & Energy Storage Facility (MISO), located onsite at our Newton Power Plant, with expected capacity of 52-MW solar/ 2-MW storage.
  • Obtaining a power purchase agreement and advancing construction at Deer Creek Solar & Energy Storage Facility (CAISO), 50-MW solar/50-MW storage, with commercial operations expected mid-2026.
  • Achieved commercial operations date (COD) for our new Oak Hill 200 MW solar facility supported by a power purchase agreement with Amazon in Texas (ERCOT).
  • Progressing with construction in support of a power purchase agreement at our Pulaski 405 MW new solar facility with Microsoft in Illinois (MISO).

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2025, Vistra had total available liquidity of approximately $3,705 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $602 million, $2,459 million of availability under its corporate revolving credit facility, and $644 million of availability under its commodity-linked revolving credit facility. Available capacity under the commodity-linked revolving credit facility reflects the borrowing base of $644 million and excludes $1,106 million of commitments under the facility that were not available to be drawn as of September 30, 2025.

Earnings Webcast

1 Ongoing Operations excludes the Asset Closure segment. 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 2027 based on market curves as of October 31, 2025. 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 2027 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.

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) 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 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. 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.
