IRVING, Texas - Feb. 26, 2026 - Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) today reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results and other highlights.
“I am proud of the 2025 performance of our Vistra team - this was truly a transformational year for our company,” said Jim Burke, president and CEO of Vistra. “With our One Team mindset, we achieved several strategic milestones, including a 20-year power purchase agreement with AWS for up to 1,200 MW of carbon-free power at our Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant; the announcement and successful closing of our acquisition of the 2,600-MW gas portfolio from Lotus in just five months; commissioning of the 200-MW Oak Hill Solar Facility on our retired and reclaimed coal mine site, which includes a PPA also with AWS; significant construction progress at our Pulaski and Newton solar facilities in Illinois; execution of uprates across our Texas gas fleet; commencement of construction on two natural gas units totaling 860 MW at our Permian Basin plant, tripling its existing capacity; and TXU Energy becoming the top-rated large retail energy provider in the Texas Public Utility Commission rankings. In addition to this meaningful growth, the team also delivered a record year financially, further demonstrating the strength and consistency of our integrated business model.”

Burke continued, “Our momentum has already carried into 2026 - first with the announcement of our plans to acquire Cogentrix Energy and its 5,500-MW natural gas portfolio, followed by the signing of 20-year PPAs with Meta for more than 2,600 MW of energy, capacity, and uprates across our PJM nuclear facilities. The team continues to execute operationally, with strong fleet performance during Winter Storm Fern. As the power landscape continues to evolve, we remain focused on delivering safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to our customers and strong financial performance for our shareholders. We look forward to continuing to take advantage of these opportunities and creating long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

For the year ended December 31, 2025, Vistra reported Net Income of $944 million, including an unrealized pre-tax net loss from hedges expected to settle in future years of $808 million and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA of $5,912 million. Net Income for the full year 2025 decreased $(1,868) million from the full year 2024 driven primarily by unrealized losses resulting from commodity hedging transactions. Unrealized losses from hedges typically occur as forward commodity prices increase, which generally benefits the entire Vistra portfolio in future periods.
Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 increased by $269 million compared to the full-year 2024 driven primarily by the inclusion of two additional months of owning the Energy Harbor assets, two months of owning the Lotus assets, and higher retail margins from favorable supply costs.

| Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 6,800 - $7,600 |

2027 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA Midpoint Opportunity unchanged at $7.4 billion to $7.8 billion, excluding any estimated impact from the acquisition of the Cogentrix assets or the execution of the PPAs with Meta. As of February 18, 2026, Vistra has hedged approximately 100% of its expected generation volumes for 2026 and approximately 84% and 58% for 2027 and 2028, respectively.

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.
Midpoint opportunities are not intended to be guidance and represent only our estimate of potential opportunities for Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA in 2027 prepared as of and based on market curves as of October 31, 2025. Actual results could vary and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors, including power price market movements and our hedging strategy. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA opportunities for 2027 to GAAP net income (loss) because we cannot, without unreasonable effort, calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability, complexity, and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA in such out year periods.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability
“Adjusted EBITDA” (EBITDA as adjusted for unrealized gains or losses from hedging activities, transition and merger expenses, non-cash compensation expenses, nuclear decommissioning trust income, asset retirement obligation expenses, 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 maintenance capital expenditures, 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) 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 performance, and believes that analysis of capital available to allocate for debt service, growth, and return of capital to stockholders 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 performance, 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. 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 U.S. GAAP.
