Strong 2025 Financial Results
Adjusted EBITDA of $1.88 billion and free cash flow before growth of $746 million for full-year 2025, demonstrating robust cash generation from contracted assets. 2026 guidance targets adjusted EBITDA of $1.75B–$1.95B (midpoint ~$1.85B, ~-1.6% vs. 2025) and free cash flow before growth of $600M–$700M (midpoint ~$650M, ~-12.9% vs. 2025).
Capital Structure Simplification Delivered
Addressed more than $1.1 billion of CEPFs in 2025 and announced a plan expected to reduce third-party non-controlling equity by more than $2 billion by 2030 without issuing new equity. Specific CEPF buyout schedule includes ~ $150M (2026) and ~$470M (2027) for CEPF 5.
Asset Sales and Financing Achievements
Completed sale of Meade pipeline and certain distributed generation assets generating ~ $160 million of net proceeds; raised approximately $1.6 billion of project financing commitments to recapitalize assets and fund the wind repowering program; pre-funded 2026 corporate maturities via an early notes issuance in November 2025.
Repowering Program Progress and Expansion
Completed nearly 1.3 gigawatts of previously announced repowerings in 2025 and increased the repowering plan from 1.6 GW to ~2.1 GW through 2030 (addition of 500 MW, +31.25%), expecting the additional repowerings to deliver strong equity returns and be funded by retained cash flows and project-level financing.
Battery Storage Co-Investment Agreement with NextEra
Announced interconnection sale and battery storage co-investment with NextEra Energy Resources: 4 co-located battery projects totaling 400 MW (XPLR option to invest up to 49% in each). If XPLR exercises all rights, expected net equity contribution ~ $80 million (partially funded by ~$31M in interconnection sales to these projects and ~$14M for an additional Palo Duro project). Storage projects have long-dated capacity agreements and are expected to reach commercial operations by end of 2027.
Portfolio Upside from Recontracting
Approximately 80% of megawatt hours sold are contracted at prices below current/future market prices; management estimates potential for more than $200 million of incremental revenue by 2040 from recontracting as PPA expirations occur (subject to market conditions and execution).
Liquidity and Liability Management
Maintains a fully undrawn revolving credit facility (revolver reduced from $2.5B to $1.25B, a -50% reduction to align with funding needs); company reports $750M or less in corporate debt maturities in any 12-month period through year-end 2030 and an extended debt maturity profile after 2025 refinancing actions.
