Generation: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $302 million, $9 million higher than second quarter 2015 primarily driven by:
• | Gulf Coast Region: $26 million increase primarily due to higher South Central capacity revenues and favorable operating costs from reduced outages across the region, partially offset by lower energy margins in Texas from the decline in power prices on mild weather; |
• | East Region: $19 million lower due to lower energy margins on milder weather and lower dispatch, and lower capacity revenues due to lower pricing and plant deactivations. |
Retail Mass: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $213 million, $4 million higher than second quarter 2015 driven by operating cost efficiencies and lower supply costs offset by lower rates to customers and the impact from milder weather.
Renewables: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $57 million, $9 million lower than second quarter 2015 due primarily to unplanned outages at Ivanpah.
NRG Yield: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $240 million, $41 million higher than second quarter 2015 due to increased wind production and the acquisitions of Desert Sunlight and Spring Canyon.
Corporate: Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $(33) million, $53 million better than second quarter 2015 due to reduced spend at residential solar, lower headcount and favorable trading results at BETM.

• | On July 15, 2016, CVSR Holdco, the indirect owner of the CVSR project, which is 51.05% owned by NRG, issued $200 million of senior secured notes, before fees, of which NRG's pro-rata share of cash proceeds from the borrowings was $101.5 million. |
• | On August 8, 2016, NRG agreed to sell its 51.05% interest in the CVSR facility to NRG Yield for total cash consideration of approximately $78.5 million3 plus assumed project level debt. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016. |
On July 12, 2016, GenOn completed the sale of Aurora for cash proceeds of $369 million, including $4 million

Capital Allocation Update
On June 13, 2016, NRG retired 100% of the outstanding shares of its $345 million 2.822% preferred stock for $226 million cash resulting in an annual dividend savings of $10 million.
Year to date, NRG has reduced its 2018 corporate debt maturities by 84% through a combination of debt reduction and maturity extensions. The company issued new Senior Notes due 2026 and 2027 totaling approximately $2.25 billion at an average coupon rate of 6.9% permitting it to seek to redeem all of its Senior Notes due 2020, and a portion of the notes due 2021 and to significantly reduce the outstanding balances of its remaining Senior Notes due 2018, 2022 and 2023. The company also extended the maturity of the $1.9 billion 2018 secured term loan facility to 2023 and extended the maturity of $2.2 billion of its secured revolving credit facility from 2018 to 2021.
Through June 30, 2016, NRG allocated $320 million of the $1.3 billion of 2016 NRG-level capital to debt repurchases, thereby reducing corporate debt by $337 million. Combined with the debt repurchases in 2015 and the planned redemption of a portion of 2020 and 2021 Senior Notes in September 2016, NRG will have retired $642 million4 of corporate debt resulting in an annual interest savings of $50 million. NRG expects to allocate approximately $439 million of 2016 capital toward further corporate debt reduction during the year and continues to maintain a reserve totaling $430 million which is expected to be used to retire a portion of its 2018 Senior Notes (currently $587 million outstanding).
On July 13, 2016, NRG declared a quarterly dividend on the company's common stock of $0.03 per share, payable August 15, 2016, to stockholders of record as of August 1, 2016, representing $0.12 on an annualized basis.
The company’s common stock dividend, debt reduction and share repurchases are subject to available capital, market conditions and compliance with associated laws and regulations.
4 Includes $246 million in 2015 at cash cost of $226 million, $337 million through June YTD 2016 at a cash cost of $375 million, and proforma for $59 million to be completed in September 2016 as part of the 2020/21 Senior Notes extension at a cash cost of $100 million following the issuance of the 2026/27 Senior Notes, extended revolver and 2023 term loan.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that NRG’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
EBITDA represents net income before interest (including loss on debt extinguishment), taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because NRG considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes debt-holders frequently use EBITDA to analyze operating performance and debt service capacity. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• | EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; |
• | EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; |
• | EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; |
• | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
• | Other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA differently than NRG does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to invest in the growth of NRG’s business. NRG compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in the financial statements that are a part of this news release.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure of operating performance. As NRG defines it, Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding impairment losses, gains or losses on sales, dispositions or retirements of assets, any mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, adjustments to exclude the Adjusted EBITDA related to the non-controlling interest, gains or losses on the repurchase, modification or extinguishment of debt, the impact of restructuring and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items plus adjustments to reflect the Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated investments. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons NRG considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware that in the future NRG may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this news release.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of NRG's financial statements in evaluating its operating performance because it provides an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods and adjusts for items that we do not consider indicative of NRG’s future operating performance. This measure is widely used by debt-holders to analyze operating performance and debt service capacity and by equity investors to measure our operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations, and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with NRG's Board of Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors concerning its financial performance.
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP measure NRG provides to show cash from operations with the reclassification of net payments of derivative contracts acquired in business combinations from financing to operating cash flow, as well as the add back of merger, integration and related restructuring costs. The Company provides the reader with this alternative view of operating cash flow because the cash settlement of these derivative contracts materially impact operating revenues and cost of sales, while GAAP requires NRG to treat them as if there was a financing activity associated with the contracts as of the acquisition dates. The Company adds back merger, integration related restructuring costs as they are one time and unique in nature and do not reflect ongoing cash from operations and they are fully disclosed to investors.
Free cash flow (before Growth investments) is adjusted cash flow from operations less maintenance and environmental capital expenditures, net of funding, preferred stock dividends and distributions to non-controlling interests and is used by NRG predominantly as a forecasting tool to estimate cash available for debt reduction and other capital allocation alternatives. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons NRG considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. Because we have mandatory debt service requirements (and other non-discretionary expenditures) investors should not rely on free cash flow before Growth investments as a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures.
Free Cash Flow before Growth Investment is utilized by Management in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Free Cash Flow before Growth Investment is presented because the Company believes it is a useful tool for assessing the financial performance in the current period. In addition, NRG’s peers evaluate cash available for allocation in a similar manner and accordingly, it is a meaningful indicator for investors to benchmark NRG's performance against its peers. Free Cash Flow before Growth Investment is a performance measure and is not intended to represent net income (loss), cash from operations (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure), or liquidity and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
