The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

"Our strong quarterly results demonstrate the resiliency of our core business model of long-term contracted generation with credit-worthy offtakers," said Andrés Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Since our last call, we added 852 MW to our pipeline of renewable projects, increasing our backlog to 6.2 GW.  At the same time, we consolidated our global lead in energy storage through Fluence, which launched its sixth-generation product.  Finally, by growing renewables and signing agreements to sell 2.0 GW of coal-fired generation, we are well on our way toward reducing our total generation from coal to less than 30% by the end of this year."

"Our solid financial performance in the second quarter highlights once more the quality and resilience of our existing business model. Collections have remained stable and our assets continued to play a critical role in the markets where we operate," said Gustavo Pimenta, AES Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Based on our year-to-date results and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we remain optimistic that we will attain a second investment grade rating before the end of this year, and we are reaffirming our 2020 guidance and expectations, as well as our 7% to 9% average annual growth through 2022."

Key Q2 2020 Financial Results

Second quarter 2020 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (Diluted EPS) was ($0.13), a decrease of $0.15 compared to second quarter 2019, primarily reflecting the $0.10 impact from higher impairments and losses on asset sales in 2020.  Second quarter 2020 results also include the impact from lower contributions from the US and Utilities Strategic Business Unit (SBU), partially offset by higher contributions from the South America SBU.

Second quarter 2020 Adjusted Earnings Per Share¹ (Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure) was $0.25, a decrease of $0.01 compared to second quarter 2019, primarily reflecting the performance at the Company's SBUs, which also drove Diluted EPS.

THE AES CORPORATION NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited) RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTION (PTC) AND ADJUSTED EPS
Adjusted PTC is defined as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to The AES Corporation excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions and equity securities; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses and costs due to the early retirement of debt; and (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts, relocations, and office consolidation.  Adjusted PTC also includes net equity in earnings of affiliates on an after-tax basis adjusted for the same gains or losses excluded from consolidated entities.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses of both consolidated entities and entities accounted for under the equity method due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions and equity securities; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and the tax impact from the repatriation of sales proceeds, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses and costs due to the early retirement of debt; (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts, relocations, and office consolidation; and (g) tax benefit or expense related to the enactment effects of 2017 U.S. tax law reform and related regulations and any subsequent period adjustments related to enactment effects.
The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted PTC is income from continuing operations attributable to AES. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We believe that Adjusted PTC and Adjusted EPS better reflect the underlying business performance of the Company and are considered in the Company's internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability due to unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions or equity securities remeasurement, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments and strategic decisions to dispose of or acquire business interests, retire debt or implement restructuring activities, which affect results in a given period or periods. In addition, for Adjusted PTC, earnings before tax represents the business performance of the Company before the application of statutory income tax rates and tax adjustments, including the effects of tax planning, corresponding to the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Adjusted PTC and Adjusted EPS should not be construed as alternatives to income from continuing operations attributable to AES and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.
