Vistra Corp., a leading integrated retail electricity and power generation company, operates across the United States, providing essential energy resources with a focus on reliability, affordability, and sustainability. In its second quarter of 2025, Vistra reported a GAAP net income of $327 million and cash flow from operations of $1,171 million. The company also achieved a net income from ongoing operations of $370 million and an ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA of $1,349 million. Despite a decrease in net income compared to the previous year, Vistra reaffirmed its 2025 guidance ranges and announced strategic acquisitions and expansions.
Key financial highlights include the reaffirmation of 2025 ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA guidance between $5.5 billion and $6.1 billion, and ongoing operations adjusted free cash flow before growth between $3.0 billion and $3.6 billion. Vistra also executed a definitive agreement to acquire seven natural gas facilities, totaling approximately 2,600 MW of capacity, to diversify its natural gas fleet geographically. Additionally, Vistra received approval to extend the operating license of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant for an additional 20 years, enhancing its clean energy portfolio.
The company’s financial performance in the second quarter was impacted by higher plant outage expenses and increased depreciation and amortization due to capital additions. However, Vistra’s strategic focus on expanding its generation capacity and capabilities, along with its comprehensive hedging program, supports its positive financial outlook. The company also continues to invest in clean energy initiatives, including solar and energy storage projects, and has made significant progress in its share repurchase program.
Looking ahead, Vistra remains confident in its ability to meet its financial targets for 2025 and has increased its 2026 ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA midpoint opportunity to more than $6.8 billion. The company is committed to continuing its momentum and executing its strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value and support the U.S. economy’s energy needs.
