Insights

The reported GAAP Net Loss of ($36) million juxtaposed with an Adjusted EBITDA of $1,137 million for Q4 2023 and the full-year figures showing a GAAP Net Income of $1,623 million with an Adjusted EBITDA of $4,025 million, signify a substantial divergence between GAAP and non-GAAP measures. This discrepancy is critical for investors as it reflects non-recurring items or non-cash expenses that could be distorting the true financial performance of the company. The Adjusted EBITDA exceeding guidance indicates operational efficiency and could signal a strong market position, potentially affecting the company's valuation and investor confidence positively.

The expansion of the nuclear fleet and the repowering of wind assets suggest a strategic focus on clean energy, which is increasingly favored by regulations and market trends. The $1 billion share repurchase program completion and the authorization of another $1 billion may be viewed as a shareholder-friendly action, potentially buoying the stock price. However, such buybacks could also raise concerns about the company's optimal use of capital, especially in the context of future growth investments.

The acquisition of a stake in the South Texas Project Nuclear Generating Station and the repowering of wind facilities underscore Constellation's commitment to carbon-free energy production. This strategic move aligns with global trends towards sustainability and may provide a competitive edge in attracting customers, particularly those with green mandates. The recognition as a top producer of carbon-free energy and the lowest rate of carbon dioxide emissions for the tenth consecutive year enhances the company's reputation and may lead to premium pricing and market share gains in the energy sector.

However, the mention of unfavorable labor, contracting and materials costs suggests that the company is not immune to broader economic pressures, which could impact profit margins. Investors must weigh these operational risks against the backdrop of favorable market conditions and portfolio performance.

The upgrade of the issuer credit rating from BBB to BBB+ by Standard & Poor’s reflects an improved risk profile and financial health, which can reduce borrowing costs and enhance investor perception of the company's stability. The doubling of the annual per share dividend could be indicative of strong cash flow generation and management's confidence in the company's financial prospects, potentially making the stock more attractive to income-focused investors.

Recognition by Just Capital and the Great Place to Work® certification may not directly impact financial metrics but could contribute to a positive corporate culture, aiding in talent retention and potentially leading to higher productivity. It's important for stakeholders to consider such non-financial indicators, as they can have indirect implications on long-term profitability and stock performance.

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Constellation Energy Corporation (Nasdaq: CEG) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.

“We had extremely strong financial and operational performance as our nuclear fleet continued to achieve unmatched reliability, allowing us to deliver carbon-free energy to our customers in all hours of the day under some of the harshest weather conditions in decades,” said Joe Dominguez, president and CEO of Constellation. “Our generation fleet was matched by an industry-leading commercial business serving the most competitive large industrial customers and three-fourths of the Fortune 100 last year, including top names in technology and other industries seeking to drive economic growth with clean energy across our nation. We took a disciplined approach to growing our business in 2023, completing our acquisition of a partial stake in the South Texas Project nuclear plant, repowering our wind assets, taking steps to extend the life of our nuclear plants and investing in new equipment to increase their output. We are delivering our hourly-matched carbon-free energy product to top sustainability leaders, and our results reflect growing acknowledgement by our customers that nuclear energy delivers unique value that can’t be matched anywhere in the marketplace.”

“Our high investment grade balance sheet and the competitive advantage of our integrated generation and commercial business delivered exceptional financial performance in 2023, earning $4.025 billion in adjusted EBITDA, up from $2.667 billion in the previous year and over $900 million above the midpoint of our original guidance,” said Dan Eggers, chief financial officer of Constellation. “We continue to invest in organic and inorganic growth opportunities, while doubling our dividend, completing our $1 billion share repurchase program and authorizing a second $1 billion repurchase program in December.”

Investor and Analyst Webcast Information

We will host a virtual investor and analyst event via webcast to highlight Constellation’s business and earnings outlook for 2024 and beyond, scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The webcast and associated materials can be accessed at https://investors.constellationenergy.com.

Fourth Quarter 2023

Our GAAP Net Loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was ($36) million, down from $34 million GAAP Net Income in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased to $1,137 million from $605 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the reconciliations of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), refer to the tables beginning on page 4.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily reflects:

  • Favorable market and portfolio conditions partially offset by unfavorable labor, contracting, and materials, decreased ZEC revenues, decreased capacity revenues, and unfavorable impacts of nuclear outages

Full Year 2023

Our GAAP Net Income for 2023 was $1,623 million, compared to ($160) million GAAP Net Loss in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for 2023 increased to $4,025 million from $2,667 million in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the full year 2023 primarily reflects:

  • Favorable market and portfolio conditions partially offset by unfavorable labor, contracting, and materials, decreased capacity revenues, and unfavorable impacts of nuclear outages

Recent Developments and 2023 Highlights

  • Delivering on Our Capital Allocation Promises: Through our strong free cash flows we delivered on our commitments announced last year to grow the business and return capital to shareholders. We grew our nuclear fleet with our acquisition of an undivided ownership interest in the South Texas Project Nuclear Generating Station, a 2,645-megawatt, dual-unit nuclear plant located about 90 miles southwest of Houston, for $1.65 billion, further expanding our contribution to a carbon-free future. We completed our initial $1 billion of share repurchases, buying back nearly 10.6 million shares. In December our Board of Directors approved expanding the program for an additional $1 billion, reinforcing our continued commitment to return value to shareholders. We received our second issuer credit rating upgrade from S&P since separation, from BBB to BBB+, reflecting their view that the financial risk has significantly improved with the nuclear production tax credit (PTC). We doubled our dividend from the 2022 level. During the year we also commenced our previously announced $350 million effort to increase the output and lifespan of our renewable energy portfolio, beginning with the repowering of our Criterion and Missouri wind facilities.
  • No. 1 Producer of Carbon-Free Energy: For the 10th consecutive year we are the nation’s largest producer of carbon-free energy and have the lowest rate of carbon dioxide emissions among the 20 largest private, investor-owned power producers in the United States, according to an independent analysis based on publicly reported 2021 air emissions data. The annual Benchmarking Air Emissions of the 100 Largest Electric Power Producers in the United States report showed that the next cleanest company among the group of 20 had more than four-and-a-half times the rate of carbon dioxide emissions as Constellation.
  • Just Capital "Just 100": Just Capital recognized Constellation in its “Just 100,” an annual ranking that reflects the performance of America’s largest publicly traded companies based on a variety of issues deemed by Americans to be most important in business today. Key factors for selection range from how a company invests in its employees and communities, to how it treats customers and minimizes environmental impact.
  • Community Partnership Award: We received the Community Partnership Award from The Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) for our work in building a skilled energy workforce that represents the diverse communities we serve. The award recognizes our multi-faceted efforts to establish lasting and impactful relationships with our local community — including educators, minority facing organizations, workforce development nonprofits and others — to fuel the energy talent pipeline. We also teamed up with CEWD to sponsor its Energy Industry Fundamentals 2.0 program. The interactive, 120-hour curriculum for high school and technical school students aims to provide expanded energy education and career awareness to 500,000 students over the next decade.
  • 2023 Great Place to Work Certification: In the third quarter we were Certified™ by Great Place To Work®. The designation is based on how our employees rate their experience working at Constellation. In a survey of about 5,000 of our employees, 81% of those who responded said it is a great place to work – about 24 points higher than the average U.S. company. Great Place To Work® is acknowledged worldwide as a global benchmark for workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver strong market performance, employee retention and increased innovation.
  • Nuclear Operations: Our nuclear fleet, including our owned output from the Salem and South Texas Project (STP) Generating Stations, produced 45,563 gigawatt-hours (GWhs) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 44,436 GWhs in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding Salem and STP, our nuclear plants at ownership achieved a 95.1% capacity factor for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 95.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022. There were 56 planned refueling outage days in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 65 in the fourth quarter of 2022. There were seven non-refueling outage days in the fourth quarter of 2023 and three in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Natural Gas, Oil, and Renewables Operations: The dispatch match rate for our gas and hydro fleet was 97.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 96.1%1 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Energy capture for the wind and solar fleet was 96.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 96.7%1 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In analyzing and planning for our business, we supplement our use of net income as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), with Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as a performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) reflects an additional way of viewing our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation to GAAP net income included above, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures and is, by definition, an incomplete understanding of our business, and must be considered in conjunction with GAAP measures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is neither a standardized financial measure, nor a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this press release and earnings release attachments. We have provided the non-GAAP financial measure as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) should not be deemed more useful than, a substitute for, or an alternative to the most comparable GAAP Net Income measure provided in this earnings release and attachments. This press release and earnings release attachments provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and are posted on our website: www.ConstellationEnergy.com, and have been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K on February 27, 2024.
