Burke continued, "As we steadily deliver on our capital allocation program, we simultaneously are focused on the long-term energy transition this industry faces. We remain committed to disciplined growth of our zero-carbon portfolio while focusing on grid reliability. The 350-megawatt Phase III expansion of our Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility achieved commercial operation during the second quarter, ahead of schedule and on budget, bringing our Vistra Zero portfolio currently online to approximately 3,750 MW, including our nuclear facility Comanche Peak. We also continue to progress towards a fourth quarter closing of the acquisition of Energy Harbor Corp. that we announced earlier this year, which will increase our nuclear generation to more than 6,400 MW."
Burke concluded, "Our retail segment continues to deliver strong counts and margins performance. And, while the second quarter weather was on the milder side, we are seeing extreme heat in parts of the country, particularly in July and August. Our generation fleet has risen to the challenge, achieving approximately

Clean Energy Transition
Vistra is focused on reliability, affordability and sustainability. With this in mind, Vistra continues to grow its fleet of lower carbon resources, advancing these interests through cost-effective, strategic investments in solar and battery storage developments and through its transformative acquisition of Energy Harbor, anticipated to close in the fourth quarter 2023.
This quarter, Vistra brought the 350 MW Phase III expansion of its Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility online, boosting its zero-emission generation and energy storage portfolio to 3,758 MW currently online (including our 2,400-MW nuclear facility, Comanche Peak), with additional renewable generation and energy storage developments in the near-term pipeline.
In March 2023, Vistra announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Energy Harbor, which will add more than 4,000 MW of nuclear generation to its portfolio along with approximately one million additional retail customers. Together with Comanche Peak, this acquisition will bring Vistra's nuclear capacity to more than 6,400 MW at the transaction's closing. Further, in 2022, Comanche Peak applied to extend its licenses through 2050 and 2053 for the two-unit facility, an additional 20 years beyond the original licenses. This process is advancing as expected.
The Inflation Reduction Act is anticipated to provide the opportunity to realize material benefits on the 350 MW Phase III expansion of the Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility and the development of additional renewables and energy storage, as well as provide strong price support via the nuclear production tax credit for our nuclear facilities, including those being acquired through the Energy Harbor transaction.
Vistra intends to remain strategic and disciplined with respect to the timing of investments in renewables and battery storage projects. Overall, continued development of the renewables and battery storage portfolio is expected to be financed primarily with third-party capital. Vistra expects to execute the initial nonrecourse financings in the coming months.

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 its ability to service its cash obligations 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
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. |
