IRVING, Texas, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vistra (NYSE:VST) today reported its first quarter 2022 results:

Financial and Operating Highlights

Delivered first quarter 2022 Net Loss of $(284) million and Net Loss from Ongoing Operations¹ of $(222) million. First quarter 2022 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $547 million.
Reaffirmed with increased confidence 2022 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA¹ and Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG¹ guidance ranges of $2,810 to $3,310 million and $2,070 to $2,570 million, respectively, which reflects an expected Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted FCFbG conversion of ~76%, including the cash effect of ERCOT securitization of $544 million expected to be received in second quarter 2022.
Executed ~$1,195 million of the authorized $2 billion share repurchase program as of May 3, 2022, resulting in net shares outstanding of ~431.8 million as of the same date, a ~10.5% reduction in shares outstanding since the program was announced in November 2021.
Paid a first quarter 2022 dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock on March 31, 2022, to shareholders of record as of March 22, 2022.
Announced second quarter 2022 dividend of $0.177 per share of common stock to be paid on June 30, 2022, to shareholders of record as of June 22, 2022, reflecting an aggregate payment of ~$75 million for the quarter and consistent with the previously announced $300 million per year dividend commitment beginning in 2022. This represents an ~18% increase in the company's quarterly common stock dividend for shareholders of record from its second quarter 2021 dividend.
Completed construction of its 50-MW Brightside Solar Facility, 108-MW Emerald Grove Solar Facility, and 260-MW DeCordova Energy Storage Facility, all located in Texas.

"We are starting the year with a focus on execution. We delivered Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter in line with company expectations with increasing confidence in full year 2022, are executing on a comprehensive hedging strategy to capitalize on the beneficial power and commodities markets that is expected to provide significant value to Vistra in 2023 and beyond, and are continuing the advancement of our capital allocation priorities, returning capital through stock repurchases and paying a meaningful and growing dividend. We have also continued prudently progressing our Vistra Zero development projects, completing two solar facilities and one battery energy storage facility in Texas: Brightside, Emerald Grove, and DeCordova." said Curt Morgan, CEO of Vistra. "In the quarter, I also announced my transition from CEO with my colleague and friend, Jim Burke, assuming the responsibilities effective Aug. 1. Vistra is as strong as ever with the right strategy and capital allocation plan, and we are well-positioned for the current market environment. It is the right time for this orderly and seamless transition as Jim is ready to lead our company. Jim has been integral to the design of our direction going forward, and the Board and I have full confidence in his capabilities and commitment to Vistra. I look forward to watching him successfully lead Vistra into the future."

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Vistra reported Net Loss of $(284) million, Net Loss from Ongoing Operations¹ of $(222) million, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $547 million. Vistra's first quarter 2022 Net Loss of $(284) million reflects a $1,756 million improvement over first quarter 2021 Net Loss of $(2,040) million, driven primarily by the negative impacts of Winter Storm Uri in first quarter 2021. Vistra's first quarter Adjusted EBITDA from Ongoing Operations was $1,755 million higher than first quarter 2021 results², similarly primarily driven by negative impacts of Winter Storm Uri in first quarter 2021.

Vistra reported first quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA from the Retail segment of $163 million, approximately $362 million higher than first quarter 2021 results, driven primarily by Winter Storm Uri impacts in first quarter 2021 with some offset in first quarter 2022 by intra-year power cost seasonality (with expected offset in later months of 2022). First quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA from the generation segments³, on an aggregate basis, totaled $384 million, $1,393 million higher than first quarter 2021 results² driven primarily by the negative impacts of Winter Storm Uri in first quarter 2021.

(1)	Excludes the Asset Closure segment. Net Income (Loss) from Ongoing Operations, Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG are non-GAAP financial measures. See the "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables for further detail. Total by segment may not tie due to rounding.
(2)	Q1 2021 Ongoing Operations Net Loss decreased $48 million and Q1 2021 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA increased by $19 million due to the recast of Joppa Power Plant and Zimmer Power Plant, both to cease operations in 2022, to the Asset Closure segment.
(3)	Includes Texas, East, West, Sunset, and Corp./Other.

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), "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 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 U.S. GAAP.

(b)	Includes nuclear fuel amortization of $22 million in the Texas segment.
(c)	Adjusted EBITDA impacts of Winter Storm Uri reflects the application of bill credits to large commercial and industrial customers that curtailed their usage during Winter Storm Uri and a reduction in the allocation of ERCOT default uplift charges which are expected to be paid over several decades under current protocols. We estimate bill credit amounts to be applied in future periods are for the remainder of 2022 (approximately $119 million), 2023 (approximately $57 million), 2024 (approximately $43 million) and 2025 (approximately $1 million).

________________
(a)	Includes $88 million of unrealized mark-to-market net gains on interest rate swaps.
(b)	Includes nuclear fuel amortization of $21 million in Texas segment.
(c)	Includes the following Winter Storm Uri impacts, which we believe are not reflective of our operating performance: the allocation of ERCOT default uplift charges which are expected to be paid over several decades under current protocols, accrual of Koch earn-out amounts that we will pay by the end of the second quarter of 2022, future bill credits related to Winter Storm Uri and Winter Storm Uri related legal fees and other costs. The adjustment for future bill credits relates to large commercial and industrial customers that curtailed their usage during Winter Storm Uri and will reverse and impact Adjusted EBITDA in future periods as the credits are applied to customer bills. The Company believes the inclusion of the bill credits as a reduction to Adjusted EBITDA in the years in which such bill credits are applied more accurately reflects its operating performance.
