NRG’s second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $116 million year-over-year. The East and West segments experienced margin growth from both power and natural gas as well as improvements in customer counts. This was partially offset by lower Texas results, primarily a result of asset sales in 2023 and comprehensive preventative maintenance outages undertaken in the quarter to prepare the fleet for extensive summer operations.
With the completion of a comprehensive outage and preventative maintenance program, NRG’s portfolio is well-positioned for the summer months, and the company is focused on delivering top-tier energy and smart home services for its customers.
2024 Capital Allocation
NRG is committed to its disciplined capital allocation principles and maintaining a strong balance sheet. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company continued to opportunistically repurchase shares in the open market as part of its $2.7 billion authorization to be executed through 2025. Through July 31, 2024, NRG has completed $176 million of its $825 million share repurchase target for 2024.
During the first quarter, NRG began repurchases of its 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2048 as part of its overall objective of prudent and proactive liability management. In the second quarter, NRG repurchased an additional $251 million in principal of these notes, bringing the aggregate repurchase amount to $343 million or approximately 60% of the original issuance. For the remainder of the Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, NRG has purchased capped call options to fully hedge the settlement price. Finally, in the second quarter NRG also repaid $600 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024.
On July 19, 2024, NRG announced its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.4075 per share, or $1.63 per share on an annualized basis. The dividend is payable on August 15, 2024, to stockholders of record as of August 1, 2024.
NRG’s share repurchase program and common stock dividend are subject to maintaining satisfactory credit metrics, available capital, market conditions, and compliance with associated laws and regulations. The timing and amount of any shares of NRG’s common stock repurchased under the share repurchase authorization will be determined by NRG’s management based on market conditions and other factors. NRG will only repurchase shares when management believes it would not jeopardize the Company’s ability to maintain satisfactory credit ratings.
Strategic Developments
Airtron HVAC Sale
On August 3, 2024 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Airtron HVAC business unit for $500 million, subject to standard purchase price adjustments. Airtron is a leading installer of HVAC systems for residential new construction homes and was acquired as part of the Direct Energy acquisition in 2021. The opportunistic divestiture at an accretive 8.6x multiple on 2023 Adjusted EBITDA will provide additional capital available for allocation in 2024. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval under the Hart Scott Rodino Act and is expected to close by the end of 2024.
Texas Energy Fund
NRG has submitted applications to the Texas Energy Fund to request funding for three prospective brownfield development opportunities, totaling 1.5 GW of flexible, natural-gas generation in ERCOT. NRG’s projects are shovel-ready, and assuming timely TEF approval, are expected to be completed for commercial operations between 2026 and 2028.
14th Annual Sustainability Report
NRG released its 2023 Sustainability Report, its 14th year of reporting, providing an update on the its commitment to people, environmental stewardship, and governance.

Net Income for the second quarter of 2024 was $738 million, $430 million higher than the second quarter of 2023. This was primarily driven by higher unrealized non-cash mark-to-market gains on economic hedges in Texas in 2024 due to heat rate expansion in ERCOT, and losses in 2023 in the East due to declines in natural gas and power prices. This increase was partially offset by loss on debt extinguishment from the repurchase of the Company’s 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes and higher income tax expense. Certain hedge positions are required to be marked-to-market every period, while the customer contracts related to these items are not, resulting in temporary unrealized losses or gains on the economic hedges that are not reflective of the expected economics at future settlement.

b Vivint Smart Home acquired in March 2023 |
Texas: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $452 million, $52 million lower than the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was a result of asset sales in 2023 and the impact of an extended planned preventative maintenance program to ensure summer reliability, partially offset by gains in customer volumes from increased customer counts and favorable impact from weather.
East: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $209 million, $132 million higher than the second quarter of 2023. This increase was driven by lower retail supply costs for power and natural gas and increased customer counts.
West/Services/Other: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $73 million, $52 million higher than the second quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by lower retail power supply costs and margin expansion at Cottonwood.
Vivint Smart Home: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $201 million, $16 million lower than the second quarter of 2023. The decrease is attributable to guided increases in amortization of fulfillment expenses relating to the acquisition of Vivint by NRG. Absent this change, Adjusted EBITDA would have shown an increase year-over-year, supported by 5% growth in subscriber count and 4% growth in service margin.

As of June 30, 2024, NRG’s unrestricted cash was $376 million and $5.0 billion was available under the Company’s credit facilities. Total liquidity increased to $5.3 billion, increasing $499 million from the end of 2023, largely due to the $900 million increase in the Receivables Facility in the second quarter of 2024 and partly offset by the expiry of the $150 million Repurchase Facility.
Reaffirming 2024 Guidance
NRG is reaffirming its Adjusted EBITDA and FCFbG guidance for 2024 as set forth below.

a Adjusted EBITDA and FCFbG are non-GAAP financial measures; see Appendix Table A-8 for GAAP Reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA excludes fair value adjustments related to derivatives. The Company is unable to provide guidance for Net Income due to the impact of such fair value adjustments related to derivatives in a given year. Cash Provided by Operating Activities does not include changes in collateral deposits in support of risk management activities which are primarily associated with fair value adjustments related to derivatives |
Earnings Conference Call
On August 8, 2024, NRG will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. Eastern (8:00 a.m. Central) to discuss these results. Investors, the news media and others may access the live webcast of the conference call and accompanying presentation materials through the investor relations website under “presentations and webcasts” on investors.nrg.com.
